  • Nomination Medieval sculpture of Maria Magdalena --Diligent 16:34, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

Edit

Good composition and subject but quite strong colour fringes in the corner. The frame is half cut - I'd prefer to see it entirely or being cropped. Noise is quite high. I'd vote for any edit that adresses this, see my example. --Ikiwaner 19:42, 1 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Agree with your changes. much better. --Diligent 05:44, 2 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Removed ~per request the little fringed corner in the edited version. --Ikiwaner 13:04, 3 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Could you maybe tell what is bad about this perspective correction? The camera is tilted so much to the sky that you almost can't see the ground anymore. That'y why perspective shouldn't be fully corrected. Leave a little bit of perspective to make you feel small standing in front of the church. --Ikiwaner 10:22, 26 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Yes I see the difference, but a) your edit is not much straighter than my first and b) you'll see the yellow house just after a few seconds of viewing the church therefore a good view on the church is more important. Have a look if you really like a fully corrected perspective: File:Alexander-Newski-Kathedrale_full_pc.jpg --Ikiwaner 13:22, 26 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I really like this picture. Support the corrected perspective version of yours. Alvesgaspar 13:56, 26 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
While the perspective correction of the full_pc version of this photo seems to have been successful, it has had (IMO) a negative side effect of compressing the photo a bit too much horizontally. --Pomakis 17:22, 27 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
You got it. That's why I support the first edit. --Ikiwaner 07:54, 29 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Nomination Justinuskirche by Eva K --Ikiwaner 12:10, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Promotion Ok, may also serve as example of simple but working compostion. --Wikimol 13:13, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
Your arguments are perfectly true: This camera is not up to date regarding sharpness CA and noise. But I would have said that quality is just good enough for a QI as the photographical quality is good. --Ikiwaner 19:03, 23 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Yes the additional noise reduction did some minimal improvement to this image. I already downsized it to answer Alvesgaspars question. I don't think noise is the problem here it's rather sharpness artifacts as Alvesgaspar said before (+colour truth and CA). The photographer is strongly limited by her camera. --Ikiwaner 19:43, 24 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
You are quire right. We cant't get useful information where just chaos exists, it is a fundamental law of the Universe. But let's see this picture from a positive side: it is a good composition and the trees have that wonderful look of impressionist painting (although not QI, I'm afraid) :-) Alvesgaspar 21:47, 24 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

IMO - the trees are not the subject of the image - I would compare it to low depth of field, or underexposure. Surprisingly, the church was kept intact by the demosaicing/sharpeninging/compression. --Wikimol 15:04, 28 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
