  • Promotion
  •  Support Excellent DOF, excellent educational value and the background does an excelent job of brining out the color. --J.smith 20:31, 14 December 2008 (UTC)
  •  Oppose I'm not exactly excited by the shadow which doesn't properly fits the threads. Lycaon 19:28, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
  •  Comment The shadow is just a slight distraction, although it could be better (maybe no shadow at all?). Also, the photo should be cropped tighter, just to the edge of the saffron threads, I think. If this is done, then I would support, because the sharpnes and DOF is excellent. --Florian Prischl 17:53, 20 December 2008 (UTC)

    • I had not seen the spots so I remove my support until they're gone, but "not good at all" would be quite a severe review here I think! --Eusebius 09:55, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

  •  Support It is not captured whole of the building, though, I think one of the good composition as QI. _Fukutaro 15:31, 19 December 2008 (UTC)
  •  Oppose I disagree, composition is not good. It makes it unclear what the subject here is - the wall is not really visible, the corner tower is obscured, and the moat is completely out of an interesting viewpoint. --Florian Prischl 18:42, 20 December 2008 (UTC)
  •  Support--Beyond silence 01:33, 28 December 2008 (UTC)

  • Promotion * Support looks good --Mbdortmund 20:50, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
  •  Oppose Too small subject for the file size. Lycaon 21:44, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
    I'll just post a larger version soon --Acarpentier 23:09, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
  •  Question This is more of a question of the use of English words by French-Canadians than it is of this image: What definition of the word "soon" are you using here? -- 02:33, 25 December 2008 (UTC)
  •  Support as is. Shot looks nice, and while I would like to see a higher-res version of the file, this is currently within our requirements. Also, I don't see any obvious compression artifacts that would point to over-compression, so I think the MB size is appropriate. J.smith 08:35, 25 December 2008 (UTC)
  •  Weak support Even though this is a very good shot (no noise, great focus), a higher version would have been way better —mainly because of when a crop [will be/is] needed. Diti 14:56, 26 December 2008 (UTC)
  •  Support Ianare 17:20, 26 December 2008 (UTC)
  •  Comment With such a layout, with the two edits, it is really not clear who supports/opposes which version. --Eusebius 10:13, 29 December 2008 (UTC)
  •  Comment Second version is not a nomination but an illustration of the IMO proper crop. It is then too small for QI, which is my point for the original version anyway. Lycaon 11:52, 29 December 2008 (UTC)-

Running total: 4 support (excluding the nominator), 1 oppose -> (promote) Acarpentier 14:39, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

  •  Comment I was going to suggest that this nomination be withdrawn until the larger version can be uploaded. -- carol (talk) 21:04, 30 December 2008 (UTC)
  •  Comment Sorry Carol if I don't take you very seriously it's just that I never really understand the deepness or pertinence of your questions/comments. ;) Maybe it's because I'm French-Canadian he? Just joking... by the way you forgot to sign your previous question (02:33, 25 December 2008). --Acarpentier 00:41, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
  • My comment was as pertinent as it was not deep? The lack of depth of my question is easily known if I admit that I have not looked at the image at a size more than the thumbnails here and my questions were based solely on the photographers text that is here. Yes, at least that shallow. Pertinence is great. It is very frustrating to manage these "crack" candidates or those entries which get altered while the voting occurs -- or other little ways to step over the lines that the rules tried to draw and most frustrating are the entries from the photographers who know where these cracks in the rules and conduct of this review system are.... -- (sorry about the signature) carol (talk) 23:11, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
  • Again I don't get the point of what you are trying to contribute here... Can you tell me what are you doing here on Commons Carol? --Acarpentier 23:57, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
  • Is the Quality Images Candidate Consensual Review considered to be "the Commons"? I answered your question with a question (a type of answer I loathe) because I am interested to know that you know what question you are asking. What am I doing here? I suspect that Ty Coon of Yoyodyne, Inc. just didn't understand the license. -- carol (talk) 02:24, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
  • Ok it's going nowhere and wasting wiki resources. I'll just ignore you from now, since you don't bring up any constructive/intelligent comments/changes. --Acarpentier 02:29, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
  • Rewording your question to be more specific and easily understood would have been a way to not "waste wiki resources". I spent many of the minutes since you asked whatever question you asked thinking about how wikipedia would be different if the bias was for the users of the software whose license inspired the free-ness. Unless Internet Explorer can now have its user-agent modified, it would have easy enough to accomplish. Taking the time and acquiring the resources to hack exif information is less easy than simply using the software. Competition would return to natural competitors and perhaps monopolies would start to cease. Don't blame me for wasting wiki-resources; on occasion, I have had to answer problems with "the world is not fair" but that is a lose/lose situation that I really try to prevent from occuring. It takes more than one person to prevent it though. It also takes more than one person to waste time and resources in an exchange like this.... -- carol (talk) 18:54, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
  •  Info I see the image was 'promoted' on the 29th December. I don't want to be awkward here but that was not done properly as that was not 48 hours after the last 'entry' here as per the CR rules. But a bigger problem is that a new version has been uploaded (over top of the nomination) since then, and strictly the new version should be re-submitted to QIC review as it hasn't actually had any votes. I think the best solution is to simply extend this review process and see whether people think the new version is an improvement. --Tony Wills 19:35, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
  • Thanks for pointing this Tony, I didn't really realize but still I prefer fixing my image by updating them while the nomination to avoid adding too much page for noting on here... I consider it a waste of space. For the 48 hours, it was valid. The edit(Eusebius 10:13, 29 December 2008 (UTC)) waz done after the 48hrs, so it should not count? Or I'm wrong? But seriously, all of this is not very important. I'm more into learning photography than understanding every of these process. I just process pics here to encourage myself continuing to submit these while giving them to the community. Anyway, thanks for supporting them and notify me if I do something wrong ;). --Acarpentier 04:08, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
CR is a discussion process, rather than a voting process. Nominations are closed when discussion has tapered off (indicated by no discussion after 2 days), if a nomination isn't closed then discussion can continue for up to 8 days - the 48hours is not the time when it must be closed, just the minimum amount of time with no new discussion before it can be closed :-). Best to leave QICbot to do the promotion, otherwise you must go and check all the right processes are followed manually --Tony Wills 21:24, 5 January 2009 (UTC) (NB this comment was added after nomination was closed!)

  •  Oppose Under min size requirements (1.83Mpx - should be 2Mpx min) - Peripitus 23:08, 4 January 2009 (UTC)
  •  CommentAlthough some would have you believe otherwise, there is no strict size limit, just a guideline. Anyway 1600x1200 (1.92Mpx) is just a 4:3 ratio version of the suggested 1600x1250 "minimum" and is for practical purposes "sufficient". So what about reviewing the merits of the picture? :-) --Tony Wills 11:30, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
  •  CommentI've always taken the guideline of 2 megapixels is normally the lower limit, but for 'easy to take' images, reviewers may demand more as indicating that, unless there is a compelling reason as to otherwise, images should not pass at under 2mpx. Even at this current resolution the image is soft - Peripitus (talk) 01:14, 7 January 2009 (UTC)

  •  Support Nice work --Acarpentier 00:11, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
  •  Comment Nice pano, but the horizon is a bit wavy. Also there is no blending across the 360 deg boundary. This should be fixed brfore it gets promoted. --Dschwen 05:40, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
     Comment I think the colour match between the ends of the image is remarkably good and your personal high standard of panos is making you look for perfection, this is quality images not perfect images :-). But I would mention the noise and artifacts in the low valley cloud, near each end of the image, about one third the way up from the bottom ;-) --Tony Wills 10:34, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
    Given that cross-boundary blending is performed automatically by hugin I'm not asking for much. The wavy horizon is the bigger issue. --Dschwen 13:07, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
  •  Comment The wavy horizon is the result of very difficult to photograph the sun and by the 360 ° degrees. The sun here [[1]] is much higher. You see no sun and the horizon is also wavy --Böhringer 14:58, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
    • No, the wavy horizon is the result of insufficient guide points in the panorama stitching process. It has nothing to do with the sun. 360 deg panos are difficult to correctly assemble if you are not using horizontal guides on the horizon line. I'd be happy to try it myself if you make the original images available to me. --Dschwen 16:12, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

     Comment I don't think the fuzzyness of the background image of the mountain is a problem it just puts the ruins in context --Tony Wills 07:42, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
     Comment I think two images for one nomination is too many... It's still unclear for me whether my vote will be attributed to the original picture or to the edit. About your remark on the fuzziness of the background: I would agree if the ruins were very sharp, but it's not the case (even after the downsampling of your edit, in which the Vesuvius looks better). I guess I'd just like more DOF. What were your settings? EXIF info is absent from both pictures. --Eusebius 21:11, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
    Vote counting is simple, votes before the addition of a new image apply to the original, voters after the addition had better specify what they're voting for ;-). It is often nice to see modifications side by side to compare. Also I would not upload a modified image over top of someone elses image that was currently being evaluated! If the author of the original likes my modifications, they should re-upload it over top of theirs and mark mine for deletion as a duplicate. :-)
    PS having the backdrop out of focus to emphasise the subject has a long photographic pedigree ;-) --Tony Wills 10:37, 8 January 2009 (UTC)
    I may be simple-minded but no, I don't think vote count is so simple, and QICbot has been puzzled in the past when two images appear in a single nomination. If people vote for both images depending on the date of their vote, how many images can be promoted/declined in a single nomination? --Eusebius (talk) 10:57, 8 January 2009 (UTC)
    QICbot no doubt just promotes the first image, and QICbot no doubt just promotes/declines one image per nomination. But QICbot is just an assistant, QICbot is not the master, QICbot is fallable ;-) Humans can correct for QICbots short-comings. (Or to put it another way QICbot doesn't define the process :-). I expect that if the author and reviewers like the modified version we can work something out, if not, the default will be to decline both :-) --Tony Wills 11:37, 10 January 2009 (UTC)

    I think the nominated one gives a beter idea of the size. --Berthold Werner 16:34, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
  •  Info QI is not a competition, there can be many almost identical photographs of the same thing. One purpose of QI is to encourage people to submit high quality photos that are their own work. There is no need to remove old QIs when a better photo is found, nor to remove them when technology improves and they are no longer up to the current 'standard'. --Tony Wills 20:59, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
    But if after all a crop is better than the whole picture, why not nominate/promote the crop instead? This has been done several times already. --Eusebius 21:09, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
    Yes, that is basically a point of composition and therefore quality. If the composition is poor then the original is probably not QI. But in the general case there is no reason that a wider view showing the context, and a closeup of the same object can not both be QIs. My note was more directed at the comments by Kozuch :-) --Tony Wills 21:17, 12 January 2009 (UTC).

     Comment Over-exposed skies can be repaired without affecting the important parts of the image, which seemed (seamed?) to be very nice. (Moving this to CR.) -- carol 01:18, 21 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
     Comment If you know a nice way to do that I'm interested (although I wonder how sky features can be invented from a solid white zone if you're not an artist). If this image gets corrected I'll retract my opposition, but for now it's not. --Eusebius 07:43, 21 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    I don't know if I reduced the clouds enough to rid this image of the over-exposure problem. More reduction would require an artist making the image something that it was naturally not. My image is of four layers from the top down:1) sky completely masked; 2) mask made from the saturation part of a decomposition into HSL or HSV and color inverted and value levels lightened (gamma increased); 3) same saturation mask not color inverted and value levels darkened (gamma decreased) and 4)sky color (this time, a gradient was not needed or used). Often there is a lot more detail in the clouds than the eye can see and a saturation map can find those details. (There is a tutorial for this at my web site, or there was one there before I was able to determine that we were not working together). -- carol (talk) 15:23, 21 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    Well, thanks for the lesson. I'd love to see the tutorial, actually. However, I think that even though the image looks better, it still looks overexposed. Plus, there are some strange problems (like blending/stitching errors) in the branches (in the original picture). I maintain my opposition. --Eusebius 15:46, 21 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
    http://carol.gimp.org/gimp2/photography/sky/compose/ It is interesting how much more we did when we were working together and not trying to remake photoshop (I really did not like the app when I tried it.) I also am embarrassed now by the results shown in the image. Did you know that an artist who makes metal cast sculptures like this has to sell five of them to make a profit? That image was taken purposefully, as I was trying to see all of the works by artists who had public art in this location where, since I was wrongly relocated to and we do not work together any longer. -- carol (talk) 01:31, 22 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Another thing that some people will worry about is the very over exposed red channel - fortunately, as far as I can see, this is mainly from the background, which is out of focus anyway so doesn't matter as much. --Tony Wills 11:12, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

    As you could see taking picture under an angle was the only option for a photographer, who wanted to show what is written on the clock, and IMO he/she did the job quite well. I would also like to add that I found only very few images of this unusual clock and they all look kind of tilted. Here's, for example one more image from Commons File:The church at Buckland in the Moor.jpg taken with a much better camera. Thank you.--Mbz1 06:02, 22 January 2009 (UTC)
  • But if you look at the cropped version, the window sill is at an angle which could be fixed very easily ... It's a little hard to tell on the images if the tower is at an angle - narrowing at the top, but I think the window and rock layers should be level regardless. Would like to see what other people think. --Ianare 02:51, 24 January 2009 (UTC)
  • Thank you for your comment. I rotated the image. I tried few different angles of the rotation. I still believe that because the only option to take this image was to position the camera under an angle to the tower (due to the church design) the window will always looked as it is tilted, when in reality it is not IMO. --Mbz1 04:01, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

  •  Comment If there is a tilt, it's by less than 1 degree and I don't know which way - I don't think there are any clear uprights/horizontals to measure against. The signal is tilted yes, but I don't think that's solely because of the camera. Mattbuck 16:24, 26 January 2009 (UTC)

  •  Oppose Wait until it opens and then identify it. Lycaon 14:56, 20 January 2009 (UTC)
     CommentWould that I could - I'm about 1,500 km away from this one now, and neither the signage, brochure nor curator could identify any of the particular hybrids they are growing - Peripitus 06:48, 21 January 2009 (UTC)
  •  Comment I would say it is identified well enough, if you can't tell from a photo what exact species it is, then it doesn't matter. The photo can be used to illustrate all those look alike species! But! in this case the red channel is severely over-exposed, loosing detail from the bud and giving it a plastic look, so not QI. --Tony Wills 19:38, 21 January 2009 (UTC)
