    • This is technically incorrect. There is no vignetting in this picture. There is a subtle gradient in the sky, and I do not believe it warrants an oppose. --Dschwen 14:39, 22 November 2008 (UTC)
      I agree that there is no vigneting here. What disturbs me is not the gradient but the pixellated (?) aspect of it. I can't see how it can be caused by polarization, but I'm not a specialist. --Eusebius 13:22, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

    • Well, actually it is not sharp, it is noisy and the clouds are overexposed. Lycaon 22:38, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
      • I've never considered whether or not clouds are perfectly exposed to be very important when the clouds are just part of the background and the subject of the image is well exposed. This is indeed important in landscape shots, but not in shots illustrating a particular object, such as a car, building or animal, when the background isn't a significant part of the composition. TimVickers 23:13, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
  •  Oppose Over-exposed clouds, selection marks or CA around buildings, significance of composition is not a QI technical requirement nor is previously unconsidered a good reason to support. More interesting than the votes is wondering what the hell were Dschwen's intentions? -- carol 00:41, 3 December 2008 (UTC)

     QuestionWhat do you mean exactly by "nothing special"? I don't get your point. --Eusebius 20:02, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
     Comment A quality image should meet the quality image guidelines so that the picture is a) of especial technical merit, b) of a particular subject or c) the picture is created in a particular manner. For me this picture satisfies neither conditions a) or c). It might satisfy condition b), thus the question remains: is there a common interest for the particular subject? --Siipikarja 07:37, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
    This is not quoted from the guidelines. It's only the way QIs are sorted and is quoted from COM:QI (and "particular subject" has nothing to do with interest here I think). Guidelines are technical and can be found here. --Eusebius 07:56, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
    Fair enough, but I'm still opposing since the image is not a QI in my opinion. Thanks to Berthold Werner for adding the English description. --Siipikarja 08:48, 5 December 2008 (UTC)

  •  Support For its encyclopedic value (see image description), and because it's a nice pic; waiting to see the cropped version of TimVickers. -- Elfix 16:27, 2 December 2008 (UTC)
  •  Info I uploaded a new version, based on the previous two others: see File:Juvenile_Humboldt_Penguin_(zoo_de_Vincennes).jpg#filehistory (I personaly find it weird, but noise was criticized —which is normal— and I tried something. This is my first try for a QA and I wonder if my photos are good enough for this). There is less noise, the penguin is clearly visible, and cropping seems ok. Its encyclopedic value is to show this penguin in his “habitat” (zoo de Vincennes), hence the visible ground.
  •  Oppose I agree with the EV, so I would support this for VI. However, the difficult conditions mean that the quality is not enough for QI -- noise and the penguin is a bit blurry. Also, I would favour the original crop, or maybe slightly taller. --Specious 13:43, 3 December 2008 (UTC)

  • ✓ Done The image was renamed, but as the file name affects the technical quality of photos? Usually, when I upload images I do not know how called species. Hence the "insect", "flower", "plant", etc. Other users of Commons and Wikipedia help me identify the species. Just use a template {{Rename}} if you are sure that the correct name of the species --Butko 07:27, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
    • I spent some time reducing the backlog of images with non-descriptive names; it was before the bot that renames the images was running (that I know of). I happen to believe in the usefulness of descriptive image names and it is part of the technicalities of quality for an image which is part of a collection of millions of images and in my opinion, an important thing for any image that receives any token of community approval. The assistance of others towards identification is a nice detail here, once the assistance is received, it is good for some follow through from the receiver? Commons should be an image server and not so much of an image dump. Also, I wanted to take {{Requirement}} for a run; kind of cool how it allows its description to be changed.... -- carol (talk) 13:07, 3 December 2008 (UTC)

  • Nomination Jerusalem with the Mount Moriah, seen from the Mount of Olives --Berthold Werner 15:55, 13 December 2008 (UTC)
  • Decline
  •  Support I think is good for QI --Pudelek 16:22, 15 December 2008 (UTC)
  •  Oppose Edges are leaning (considerably) outwards, sky is not homogeneous (dark in the middle). Lycaon 19:31, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
    • Maybe thats because the sky is not homogeneous across large angles. One thing breaks the isotropy: the sun! The lean should be corrected though. --Dschwen 17:00, 18 December 2008 (UTC)
      • I'm not sure what you mean with "lean". --Berthold Werner 10:37, 19 December 2008 (UTC)
  •  Oppose per Lycaon, strong tilt along the edges, also could use some contrast enhancement. --Florian Prischl 17:49, 20 December 2008 (UTC)

UNIQA-Tower-Fassade-01.JPG

[edit]

  • Nomination Facade of the UNIQA-Tower, in the 2nd district of Vienna, Austria --Priwo 18:22, 19 December 2008 (UTC)
  • Promotion
  •  Oppose A difficult one. The perspective shows too little of the actual facade and is more a statement or artistic observation of the facade, and not a faithful depiction. The composition creates too much sky. Overall, I decline. --Florian Prischl 19:29, 20 December 2008 (UTC)
  •  Comment There was an image that was deemed "QI" which had more sky and less facade and I think it also was accepted for FP. -- carol 21:01, 20 December 2008 (UTC)
    • While I do not think it is relevant, could you give me a link to thtat? Thanks! --Florian Prischl 21:09, 20 December 2008 (UTC)
  •  Support This is an interesting view of the building, allowed by its particular architecture. Although the point of view wouldn't make it eligible for a VI, I see no problem for a QI. --Eusebius 15:20, 21 December 2008 (UTC)
  •  Support I think the composition is personal taste, but the quality is ok --Simonizer 09:33, 23 December 2008 (UTC)

Raisin Cinnamon Bagel.jpg

[edit]

  • Nomination Bagel with raisins and cinnamon --AlexanderKlink 22:44, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
  • Decline
  •  Support Correct exposure and details. --ComputerHotline 13:33, 19 December 2008 (UTC)
  •  Oppose This being a studio shot, the DOF should be much deeper. This is too shallow. Otherwise OK. --Florian Prischl 19:13, 20 December 2008 (UTC)
  •  Oppose I will oppose for all those studio shots with the harsh shadow and the artificially cut background. --Ikiwaner 21:46, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

Most Piastowski nocą.jpg

[edit]

  • Nomination Piastowski bridge in Opole (Oppeln) by night --Pudelek 19:09, 11 December 2008 (UTC)
  • Decline
  •  Support because of the atmosphere --Mbdortmund 21:10, 18 December 2008 (UTC)
  •  Oppose Since the subject of this photo is the bridge, the whole bridge needs to be on it. Oppose for composition --Florian Prischl 18:42, 20 December 2008 (UTC)
  •  Oppose Agree with Florian. --Lestath 14:54, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

Altstadt Lindos02.JPG

[edit]

  • Nomination Lindos, Rhodos --Böhringer 16:13, 15 December 2008 (UTC)
  • Decline
  •  Comment Very nice composition and for my taste still, it needs to be corrected C/A and a tilt. -Fukutaro 16:17, 20 December 2008 (UTC)
  •  Oppose Strongly tilted. --Florian Prischl 18:54, 20 December 2008 (UTC)
    • That is easy problem. It could be corrected enough. _Fukutaro 07:51, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

Domestic cat felis catus stare.jpg

[edit]

  • Nomination Domestic cat --Muhammad Mahdi Karim 18:15, 18 December 2008 (UTC)
  • Promotion
  •  Support Beautiful colors, DoF and details --ComputerHotline 13:35, 19 December 2008 (UTC)
  •  Oppose Distracting angle that shows the cat neither in profile nor face-on. Composition (framing) also not advantageous. --Florian Prischl 19:22, 20 December 2008 (UTC)
  •  Would support a cropped version (I uploaded one, please revert if you don't like it). The image size obviously decreased, but the depth of field of the whole image is now acceptable for me. I tried to photography my cat(s) and I can relate: it's quite hard to either have a nice depth of field and eyes in focus. Diti 15:30, 26 December 2008 (UTC)
