•  Neutral I have some trouble getting excited over this pic since such landscapes are very much "home" to me and I know that photos of them can be so much better than this, but I won't oppose it either since it may look as exotic to others as the Andes are to me. Could also be a bit sharper. w.carter-Talk 21:52, 20 August 2016 (UTC)
•  Oppose Probably a good document, but not appealing to me. Also not sharp enough.--Jebulon (talk) 23:58, 20 August 2016 (UTC)

Again we ask the impossible of photographers at FPC, such as walk on water, hover in the air or get the owner of the car to park it at a better location. Ok, I'm only assuming it is not your car, if it were I think you would have chosen a better location to shoot it. w.carter-Talk 10:09, 20 August 2016 (UTC)

•  Comment Well, you could "cheat" and clone the right window onto the left one to get rid of the ad and busy window. I mean we have accepted cars being cloned out in front of buildings, so why not part of a building cloned behind a car? And a toned down + desaturated version of the yellow is a good complementary color to the blue of the car. --w.carter-Talk 13:09, 20 August 2016 (UTC)

• Normally, I don't bother with objects that are cloned out, but in this case, part of the background (which is a crucial element for a photography composition) is fake. 😄 ArionEstar 😜 (talk) 16:00, 20 August 2016 (UTC)

• Thank you for explaining. I was only wondering since you had no problem supporting this faked image, but here we all know that the pic is manipulated from the start so that might make it harder to accept. I guess it's up to each of us where we decide to draw the line as long as the cloning/manipulation is thoroughly declared on the file's page, something that is clearly done in this case. w.carter-Talk 16:14, 20 August 2016 (UTC)

The temple is dedicated to Santa María de África, the patron saint of the city. In 1421 Henry the Navigator sent to Ceuta an image of Our Lady of Africa that guided to the first temple built to honour her in the current location, but no remains have been found from the medieval age. The church is of Baroque style and the first evidence of its existence dates from 1676.

•  Oppose per others. Still seems overexposed (as pointed out by Spurzem already) with washed-out colours, this probably can’t be fixed. Composition does not strike me this way, I’d crop most of the foreground out (try a 16:9 ratio at full width) to focus on the building. But the main issue is the image quality (sharpness) which is way too poor to be featured I’m afraid – the photographer is in dire need of better gear to execute his good ideas suitably. --Kreuzschnabel 05:03, 20 August 2016 (UTC)

The background is right for a timeless, carefree Sunday afternoon drive and is not drawing attention away from the car. Even the color of the flowers by the road matches the car. I would welcome a little crop at the bottom though since asphalt is seldom that exciting to look at. Nice shot. w.carter-Talk 12:10, 19 August 2016 (UTC)

Please show me the direction that it is not allowed to present nearly the same motive once more or that it would be not allowed to feature! -- Spurzem (talk) 20:46, 19 August 2016 (UTC)

I've seen FPCs opposed here a number of times because they were too close in composition to images of the same location or subject. This image is featurable on its own, but how many cars in this identical composition would be featurable? If we feature 2, why not 5 or 10, as long as it's a different car each time? Please remember though that this is my opinion and my single vote. My supports and opposes are no big deal. Just one guy's opinion. INeverCry 20:56, 19 August 2016 (UTC)

Perhaps this composition for cars ("shells for humans") is the equivalent of gastropods with black background ("shells for snails") as a pleasing way to show the different models/species in FPs? w.carter-Talk 03:08, 20 August 2016 (UTC)

You definitely get points for cleverness on that one. But car after car, in the same basic lighting, on the same road, shot from the same vantage point?... They'll all have the honor of my one little oppose if they're brought here to FPC... INeverCry 03:55, 20 August 2016 (UTC)

  And I would absolutely support you on that project. Since I originally come from the writing side of this project, I don't see it as giving someone 100 FPs, I see it as getting FPs for 100 different articles (or rather hundreds of articles since they could be used for multiple languages). Also, hey, we all have our signature photo subjects... --w.carter-Talk 09:09, 20 August 2016 (UTC)

  +1 --Alchemist-hp (talk) 10:48, 20 August 2016 (UTC)

•  Oppose Sorry, may be QI but not outstanding enough for a feature IMHO. At just 6 megapixels it shows poor detail or sharpness, and there’s visible motion blur on all the details. I’d crop half of the bottom space out as well, there’s too much below and too little above the car. --Kreuzschnabel 05:10, 20 August 2016 (UTC)
•  Support - I like this picture and consider it a good feature. In addition to being a quality photo, the Trabant, as the proletariat's car in East Germany, is historically important.

 Done Barrel distortion, please, let me know if it's ok. BTW, answering your question for someone a Tower could be FP and for others a metro station. In this case what i love of this picture is the composition of diagonals and verticals with the woman descending the metro stairs. As a courtesy, it is always best not to ask why a picture is special because what makes a image FP special is just that, transmit you a valuable information without explanation. --The Photographer (talk) 02:00, 19 August 2016 (UTC)

Hey, I didn’t say, "This picture is not special" but I did say, "I can’t see anything special". Meaning it doesn’t "transmit a valuable information without explanation" to me, so I just wanted to make sure I am not missing the point here. No offence intended. Furthermore, I didn’t oppose. --Kreuzschnabel 04:35, 19 August 2016 (UTC)

•  Comment - This is a really sweet picture and I'd really like to support it, except the unsharp area of the foreground near the left corner bothers me, so I will abstain. If you happen to decide to crop it out, the result certainly looks like one I'd vote for. Just so you understand: the haze-caused unsharpness in the background is normal and doesn't bother me at all; it's only unsharpness in the foreground that is unnatural to my eyes and bothers me, because while there are technical reasons for it, there are in my opinion no good artistic reasons for it in this kind of photo. I've posted about this before: How we as artists should not allow our equipment to play us, rather than playing it (to use the analogy of musical instruments). If I think about this too much, I might oppose, but I will not because the panorama looks good except at full size. That's less than ideal, but it might not be enough of a reason to impede or slow down a feature, as the photo otherwise is very good. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 04:20, 19 August 2016 (UTC)

•  Oppose Yes it's a feline, prrr... And you'd think that would be enough, but as a cat lover and having been owned by a cat, I know that these fine beings have high standards regarding their looks, fur must be perfect and immaculate, and an FP should also portray them in the absolutely best manner. No fuzzy hairs! ... Seriously, it's a great image and a great pose, but for an FP there should be more DoF, here it is so shallow that the face looks almost detached from the rest of the body. Very unfortunate. >^o^< w.carter-Talk 20:37, 18 August 2016 (UTC)

  To be clear, it's not a cat, it's a bobcat. Really not as common. Letartean (talk) 00:56, 19 August 2016 (UTC)

  I once had someone here at FPC call a prize Bengal kitten shot at a Moscow cat show "an ordinary cat"... INeverCry 03:52, 19 August 2016 (UTC)

  Of course I know what kind of Felidae it is, but I call all members of that family "cats", even Bengal tigers. And IMO bobcats are the coolest and greatest of all felines, hence I was very reluctant to 'oppose' this (and on top of that 'promote' that creapy spider above), but here it is all about the photo. w.carter-Talk 08:28, 19 August 2016 (UTC)

•  Oppose - Not sharp enough, in my opinion. Rarity is not so much of a factor when you are photographing an animal at a zoo. Try to get a clearer photo of the feline. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 04:27, 19 August 2016 (UTC)

•  Info The Berca Mud Volcanoes are a geological and botanical reservation located close to Berca in Buzău County, Romania. The phenomenon is caused due to gases that erupt from 3,000 metres (9,800 ft) deep towards the surface, through the underground layers of clay and water, they push up underground salty water and mud, so that they overflow through the mouths of the volcanoes, while the gas emerges as bubbles. When the mud arrives at the surface, it dries off, changing the landscape in ways like you can see here. Poco² 07:01, 18 August 2016 (UTC)

Basically you get only one shot per day (the earlier train is too early and too much of the scene is still in the shadows, the next one too late), you want a plain red Allegra unit (ok, *I* want; regular people don't care ;) ), the timing is a bitch because as soon as you see the train cross the bridge you're basically too late, and you'll have to do it lying on your belly and letting the camera hang down over the abyss to get a unobstructed view (thus hikers will inevitably think you're some crazy person and ask you if you're about to do something stupid.

The boats in the right places and no cars on the road were also very lucky (ok, I did wait for the sailboats with spinnakers to come out from behind the cliff and the freight boat to approach the dock) and hard-to-repeat-things. w.carter-Talk 08:54, 19 August 2016 (UTC)

On the other side: As the fawn is utterly skittish by nature, being partially hidden by plants helps convey the idiosyncratic trait of this animal to the viewer - without hiding too much in the end. --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 06:12, 18 August 2016 (UTC)
•  Support Impressive I find. You could crop the blurred plants on the right side a bit. The blurred plant in the foreground I first doesn’t noticed it so it's hardly a problem for me even if it's a bit unlucky.

•  Info The air and the light in the old Rixö quarry is sometimes unbeleivable. There are no big cities or industries nearby and the light reflects off the fjord beside it. Most of the time I have to desaturate photos I take there a bit, or people would think I was heavy on the post-processing. The deposite below the cliff is mostly mud slush, hence very soft and few details. All by me. -- w.carter-Talk 08:38, 17 August 2016 (UTC)

• Those are different stages of clouds being formed. They are so thin that they are transparent and just barely visible. There is a lot of cool cloud activity here because of all the moist air by the sea. You can sit and watch clouds being formed from nothing or huge clouds dissolving. As you can see in some of my other pics there are also unusual or interesting clouds in some of them. In this case a huge cloud bank was forming behind me and the sun shone through a small opening in it which accounts for the interesting light. w.carter-Talk 07:44, 18 August 2016 (UTC)

As for composition, I don’t see anything special here, and I usually don’t find up-down views onto animals (or, worse, children) too attractive. My personal opinion of course, but altogether this lacks wow for me plus shows quality flaws, though EV is certainly given. --Kreuzschnabel 10:31, 17 August 2016 (UTC)

Admittedly, nearly all shots of this species on Commons have been taken that way, one of the exceptions being this one which isnt featurable for other reasons but gives a better impression of the animal. --Kreuzschnabel 04:44, 19 August 2016 (UTC)

•  Support -- Spurzem (talk) 06:46, 16 August 2016 (UTC)
•  Oppose I don't know if I'm looking at the same picture as the other voters do but what I see is:

• 1) The perspective isn't very fortunate. It's neither central nor is it really a double point perspective. It just looks as there was no space in the middle so the photographer simply stepped at the right. It doesn't look as if the photographer really had a creative concept.
• 2) The top crop is bad IMO because a part of the arc is cut (ok, maybe this alone wouldn't be a reason for an oppose vote).
• 3) The bottom crop isn't good as well because of the cut chairs in the foreground (ok, maybe this alone wouldn't be a reason for an oppose vote, too).
• 4) The whole picture seems to be distorted a little bit, maybe there's some barrel distortion.
• 5) The picture has a severe lack of detail (look at the icons at both sides) which may be caused by increasing the contrast too much and adding too much clarity. It's oversharpened as well which makes the picture look like a painting, at least partially.
• 6) There are some blown out parts at the left and in the background.
• 7) The white balance is too cold (at the top the walls look nearly blue) (ok, maybe that's a matter of taste).

Sorry but do you really consider this to be one of our finest church interiors we're hosting here on Wikimedia Commons? Apart from that, it's a wonderful church which deserves a much better picture. Livio lives in Rome, he could easily go there again and take a much better picture (HDR, central perspective, better postprocessing). A better version would definitely get my support. --Code (talk) 07:43, 16 August 2016 (UTC)

•  Oppose. Sorry, I agree with Code. It might be the best image of this church to be found with a google image search, but that isn't the standard we should be aiming for. I also don't find it to be a particularly interesting or beautiful church. That's not the main reason for the oppose though, but it does mean that it should be an even more technically excellent image to have the necessary wow for FP IMO.

•  Oppose - There have previously been comments that many good pictures of animals in their natural habitat weren't featurable because of the effects of camouflage. In this case, I would make that argument. The lack of contrast unfortunately creates some trouble for the composition. However, it might be able to overcome that, except that I think the bigger problem is the lack of any room above the rock, whose top is not visible. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 04:26, 16 August 2016 (UTC)
•  Oppose Well, I'm the one who usually makes that argument, but in this case that's not the problem (for me, anyway). However, the light seems a little too harsh even if it's natural, and there's too many distractingly unsharp areas near the lizard. And its tail has been cut off at the tip. Daniel Case (talk) 06:06, 16 August 2016 (UTC)
• Daniel Case, Ikan Kekek. Ikan Kekek: camouflage - animal is seen perfectly, and on best time, good light, perfect colours. I am still worried about your screen - lack of contrast? If you see rock, then we are far apart. There is piece of wood. "Rock" above is missing. Its about animal, rock "isnt" missing. For Daniel Case: Yes, you cant get all at FF@600 mm, shallow DOF, did you check exif ? Catching with tail wasnt my purpose, more body. And that tail is very long, that "tip" makes 30%-40% of his tail length. --Mile (talk) 07:10, 16 August 2016 (UTC) People you waste my time too much.

•  Comment - It looks like petrified wood, but I suppose it's actually really dried out wood. But really, you think you're always right and everyone who ever opposes featuring your photos is always wrong and we're wasting your time. You were the one who nominated your photo, and so far, no-one has supported featuring it. So who is wasting your time again?

•  Oppose I do believe nobody could have taken a better shot in this situation but that does not excuse for the poor crop looking like "sorry, I couldn’t cram the entire animal in". Overlong tails should be left out another way, e.g. by vanishing into the blurry background, as it has been done here, or cropping the image even more to focus on the front part of the body exclusively. --Kreuzschnabel 13:15, 16 August 2016 (UTC)

+1 I agree with Ivar, furthermore all images of the earth, even the more overexposed ones, can have a histogram ok if you if you edit them enough (e.g. overexposed image remapped to grey or with highlight strongly decreased can have a histogram ok, that's change nothing on the fact the camera did not register any details)...and I also agree with Ivar the edition can be improved here.

•  Comment - The information is great and the picture is a very good ground capture. However, I'm not sure a feature would be justified. If, for example, NASA took a better photo, it would be in the public domain and should be featured instead of this one. Ikan Kekek (talk) 08:07, 15 August 2016 (UTC)
•  Oppose Per Ikan. And, frankly, I am not wowed by this image. Yes, I know what it is an image of. But I challenge you to imagine a viewer with little, if any, astronomical knowledge put in the position of seeing this image and telling you what it is. They would see "a dull yellow ball on a black background with some small black dots on it" And even after you told them what it was an image of, I would bet that they would not be able to identify which of the small black dots visible is Mercury without blowing the picture up to full size (Try it yourself ... you may well pick the sunspot cluster).

  Frankly, I think, full-disc pictures of the sun during inner-planet transits are not as featurable as those that show a portion of the disc with the planet more obvious to the eye, especially near the limb, like this from the transit of Venus a couple of years back. And transits of Mercury are also not as rare as transits of Venus, depriving this image of any claim to historical value (Now, someday, NASA will get that mission done where one of the Mars surface craft will be able to shoot a picture of Earth in transit (unfortunately, barring some way of uploading ourselves to Commons or other transhumanist life-extension projects, I do not think anyone presently here will be around to !vote on that one).

•  Oppose A QI for sure (although a bit underexposed), by, IMHO, not striking enough. Nothing draws my attention. Fortezza (the castle) is quite off the third's position. --C messier (talk) 18:33, 14 August 2016 (UTC)

•  Info I guess many of the used panels aren't correct adjusted or calibrated. But nevertheless I have brightened the image a bit up. The sharpening process isn't different to my other panos and I can't detect any oversharpend area. This image shows the typical greek urban settlement and the Bay of Almirou . I find this view encyclopedic very valuable and nice, but for sure no everybody has the same opinion. --Wladyslaw (talk) 05:50, 15 August 2016 (UTC)

•  Oppose - I love the light, but I regret to say that this is not an FP composition to me. The foreground includes some kind of garbage dump on the left and cut-off not very interesting buildings on the right. I might reconsider if you crop out most of the foreground. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 04:52, 18 August 2016 (UTC)

Ikan Kekek: Cutting this pano would mean that the image would become a less good proportion. What is "very interesting" on the flats on the right that I shouldn't have cut them off? The architecture is very similar to many others we see in the image. Real garbage we don't see, it`s more a kind of relict of former hovels. Can't find that this is disturbative, this belongs to the culture of Greece. I have endeavored that this parts are not dominating the image and I guess this was successful. --Wladyslaw (talk) 20:14, 18 August 2016 (UTC)

 Comment - Your nomination might be successful, but to me the issue isn't only that the buildings in the near right corner aren't per se very interesting to me to be so emphasized, but that they are arbitrarily cropped in a way that I found disturbing. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 04:49, 19 August 2016 (UTC)

• Please show me the rule! --Alchemist-hp (talk) 06:40, 13 August 2016 (UTC)

• The relevant rule is that each FP is one of the very best pictures on the site. If we have dozens of painting FPs that are absolutely huge, detailed files, I would say that this can't possibly measure up at its small size. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:28, 13 August 2016 (UTC)
•  Comment @Alchemist-hp: We’ve had the size discussion recently. The rule says, Images should have at least 2 real megapixels of information […] reviewers may choose to demand more if the image would benefit from it. So, 2 mpix being the absolute minimum of size, this does not mean that 2 mpix is sufficient in all cases, because nearly any image would "benefit from it". As a general rule, images should have the highest possible resolution (the guidelines say, We can't predict what devices may be used in the future, so it is important that our best pictures have as high a resolution as possible). 2 mpix is tolerated as long as there was no possibility to upload/nominate a higher-res shot, e.g. if a crop had to be made from the exposure. However, this does never apply to paintings which can easily be shot at full resolution. --Kreuzschnabel 20:48, 17 August 2016 (UTC)

•  Oppose Funny but the composition is too cluttered for me, sorry. If the camera had been moved a few metres to the left, the stack of styrofoam boards (?) might have been covered by the "fragile" thing, and the main objects wouldn’t be so close to the edge, allowing the bed of pebbles to be entirely within frame. Might have moved the yellow crane into a less distracting position, too. So, it’s some minus points off for composition. --Kreuzschnabel 06:35, 13 August 2016 (UTC)

    @Kreuzschnabel: Actually I did that on purpose.

Reworked from ooC image, preserving the sky which is still rather bright but not blown any more, and trying to get the real contrast between shade and sunny areas without overexposure or washed-out colours. Crop on bottom a bit tighter, leaving out the dark woods (looks better this way). Less sharpening applied to make the background hill look more natural.

• The picture is called "Iridium satellite twinkling", so I guess not a meteor and not fake. You can go online and see when and where satellites or even the International Space Station will be visible in the sky as the sun reflects on them and this is how they usually look in the rather brief moment you see them. The sunset is most likely a byproduct of taking a photo of the satellite passing. See below. w.carter-Talk 06:22, 12 August 2016 (UTC)

• Right. I should have paid more attention to that. So strike my previous comments. :-) -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 06:34, 12 August 2016 (UTC)

• I should also not be calling this a "sunset", my mistake, since the timestamp says almost midnight and the info on the file page "moonlit". The moonlight can sometimes create what looks like a sunset on long exposures during the bright nights this far north. w.carter-Talk 06:45, 12 August 2016 (UTC)

  I guess there's no cloning out the thing the image's named for... INeverCry 06:54, 12 August 2016 (UTC)

To The Photographer: this image has nothing to do with the sunset as is eminent from the metadata. And this isn't a falling star. As described in the description it is a Iridium satellite. And even the composition isn't random. It is well know when and where will those flashes occur and photographer was there on the spot waiting for it. All is captured on the image. And as W.carter pointed out there is also possible to capture ISS on a photo, then here is an image from the same author depicting just that. Kruusamägi (talk) 08:28, 12 August 2016 (UTC)

Negative opinions are very interesting for me, especially for this case.--Jebulon (talk) 09:54, 12 August 2016 (UTC)
• Weak  Oppose Sorry, but lower ISO and bigger aperture or ND filter would have been more appropriate choice. --Ivar (talk) 10:41, 12 August 2016 (UTC)
•  Support If Jebulon says this is what has worked best for him I think he made out rather well. Would we rather photographers not chase waterfalls, and just stick to the rivers and the lakes that they're used to? I know some of you got to have it your way or there's no way at all, but I'm glad he didn't use an ISO too fast. Daniel Case (talk) 19:49, 12 August 2016 (UTC)

To this day we don't have any good example of academic FP, that could be informative and artistic at the same time. I think. it's good beginning.

•  Support - This one, I definitely like for FP. Interesting composition, and not the run of the mill. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 05:24, 11 August 2016 (UTC)

•  Weak oppose I like the composition too—it's interesting to see an academic shot as if he were a musician—but I think the picture could be sharper. Daniel Case (talk) 17:27, 11 August 2016 (UTC)
