Sunset at "Ruhrtalbrücke" (Bridge of the Ruhr Valley)

(talk) 21:49, 23 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Not a coincidence. An agreement about a good and relevant review, IMO. I was to oppose too, but I did not have the good and precise words for that. Wladyslaw expressed here exactly my meaning.--Jebulon (talk) 23:56, 25 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose Have to agree with Wladyslaw, sorry. Basically, I like the winter sunset atmosphere here. But the bridge itself does not find much expression. The eye-catcher here are rather the sky and the sun, which actually should not have been so. A better exposure of the bridge is desirable. It's also the fact that the image resolution is rather on the poor side. - A.Savin 19:43, 25 November 2012 (UTC) [reply]
    • I am open minded to criticism and I know that HDR is controversal, but your statement "image resolution is rather on the poor side" is absurdity, sorry. The photo has a resolution of 5,6 megapixel! It was my decision the downsample in order to minimize noise here. I think LR can do it much better than the image rendering of Commons. --Tuxyso (talk) 20:07, 25 November 2012 (UTC) [reply]
      • Well, looking at some other FP's of comparable motives I don't think it's an absurd requirement. Even more, it's not that essential and in case of some exceptionally good images voters may overlook an even lower number of pixels. Here, however, we also have some other technical issues, given the fact that even compact cameras of today have far more than 10 MP it's also a point, albeit just one of several ones. - A.Savin 20:33, 25 November 2012 (UTC) [reply]
        • I just answered back to your statement regarding the resolution. Like or dislike of HDR and of the composition I've choosen here is a subjective matter and I accept the negative assesments to this aspect(s). If 5,6 Mpx are problematic I can upload the photo in full resolution. Compared to the other nominated photos, 5.6 Mpx is a good average and not "rather on the poor side". Please do not take resolution as justification for your reservations on HDR. --Tuxyso (talk) 22:07, 25 November 2012 (UTC) [reply]
          • Seems you've misunderstood something, I don't use arguments as "justification" for something... Whatever, if you prefer me not to utter *my* arguments on your FPC's, just throw me a line, and I will vote without any comment in the future (even when opposing). - A.Savin 23:05, 25 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
          • I am happy with your in-detail comments (also in future). I think circumstantial comments are beneficial to everyone. Thus keep on commenting that way. --Tuxyso (talk) 05:51, 26 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose A pretty picture to look at, but unrealistic enough for me to oppose --Dey.sandip (talk) 13:34, 26 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose: Very unrealistic editing, extreme halos on the piers. The latter is the biggest problem for me. --Julian H. (talk/files) 10:39, 28 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Info My initial plan was to shut up until the vote if finished, but some statements are hair-raising to me:
    • Julian H.: "Extreme halos" - what is extreme? Extrem enough that up to now no one despite of you has realiszed it? We are here at FP. As I initially wrote: The shootings conditions were not optimal, the formation of the sky and the sunset were very unique and led to this beautiful result (in my eyes). Slight halos should be correctable via image editing.
    • To the naturalists / realists (Wladyslaw, Jebulon, Dey.sandip, Julian H.): I cannot follow your argumentation. What is real? Are the NASA images shown here real? No! Are the beautiful FP-panoramas real? No, no one can look 360° around. Photography is always communication between photographer and viewer (and never) reality. The resulting photo was the way I've seen the bridge and the beautiful sunset, nothing more and nothing less.
    • Bridge photographer (Wladyslaw, Savin): I agree with you that there might be better perspectives for pure bridge photography. But as the german title "Bridge of valley of the Ruhr with sunset" indicated the motive here is the symbios between sunset and bridge architecture. From my view a selected the best shooting position, probably you can come to Germany and find a better one :)
    • Wladyslaw: With all respect, but your comment "I like good HDR images, but this unnatural example [...]" annoys me much. I've seen and processed a lot of HDRs and I am sure that mine is for sure not a bad one - in contrary. Be so kind and have a look at the English wikipedia entry [HDR] to see bad and overprocessed HDRs. --Tuxyso (talk) 14:41, 28 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • These halos would indeed be easily correctable with the original material, if the editing software supports this. "Extreme" means that they result in a darkening of the edges of the pier compared to the center (they should be the same colour) by about 30% (at least it looks like that). Why others didn't notice that or had no problem with it is none of my business, the point of a democratic vote is that everybody can vote according to his impression and standards. And for me, these halos are too strong. It might also be that others noticed it but didn't mention it.
  • I completely agree if you say that photography is never 100% real and doesn't have to be. But if my immediate impression upon looking at the image is "this looks very wrong", then this is a problem for me. In other conditions, it might not be. And "the shooting conditions were not optimal" doesn't change the quality of the image or the editing. This isn't a vote about your abilities as a photographer, so please don't feel defensive about this. I'm trying to be objective, as far as that's possible when talking about photography, and my impression is that this shouldn't be a FP. Others think it should be, and that's perfectly fine. --Julian H. (talk/files) 16:14, 28 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This is a complete set of illustrations by W. E. F. Britten for the book, "The Early Poems of Alfred, Lord Tennyson". I realise set nominations likely haven't been used for a while, but they still have their own section in the rules, and I checked on the talk page, so I'm going to presume this is fine.

That said, there's no actual templates for a set nomination, so feel free to tweak this page.

Anyway, these are photogravures; the slight grey cast is entirely part of the artistic medium, and the contrast with the paper is what identifies them as such (so please don't cut the border; I know people always want to, but it's really never a good idea for historical works). This is also from a slightly unusual artistic movement, the Arts and Crafts movement, which emphasised relative simplicity. Adam Cuerden (talk) 07:32, 21 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Self Portrait
Thank you for nominating this image. Unfortunately, it does not fall within the Guidelines and is unlikely to succeed for the following reason: minimum resolution is 2 MP. 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.

King of 09:16, 1 December 2012 (UTC) [reply]

Is that not relaxable for sufficient mitigating circumstances? The picture's main concern is its notablity {in being probably the most recognised images/pictures/portraits of a very famous scientist [to say the least]} than its total technical perfection. Considering that, should this picture not be allowed a bit more cushion than, say, a picture of a similar quality but of a completely non-notable topic? TheOriginalSoni (talk) 20:53, 1 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Noone disputes the notability. The endevour should be focussed on finding a source image in much better technical quality. FP is about value and high technical quality. --Slaunger (talk) 09:53, 2 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

 Comment I think this picture should be tried as a valued image candidate. The minimum resolution of 2 MP is a reasonable expectation of FP. --Dey.sandip (talk) 08:09, 2 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Tombs inside Jama Masjid complex, Fatehpur Sikri

  •  Oppose The window is overexposed --The Photographer (talk) 12:29, 29 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    • Yes, agree that the window is slightly overexposed, but had no choice. My goal was to expose the interior properly and the only light source was the light coming from the window. HDR was not a possibility, because usage of tripod is not allowed in ASI protected monuments. The brightness around the window can possibly be selectively reduced, but since the over-exposure is not too intrusive, I would like to leave it as it is, in order to maintain the realistic feel of the photograph (i.e. the captured image tries to represent the reality of the then conditions as close as possible) --Dey.sandip (talk) 13:34, 29 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • I've had similar problems in places where it is not allowed tripod. In these cases, I perform two photographs from the same place, one taking the brightness of the window and the other with the ambient brightness. Later, I created two layers in gimp overlap the window, erasing the overexposed layer, only the section of the window. e.g. Interior de la Basilica de la Chinita.jpg. There are always options, the only limitation is your imagination ;) --The Photographer (talk) 13:41, 29 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    • I don't deny that multiple exposures is not an option :) But then, it involves extensive post-processing and the whole thing gets into the domain of Digital Retouching. Okay, now there can be a lot of debate about the usage of softwares and to what extent it is acceptable. I'm not getting into that kind of discussion. Everyone has their own views on the subject, and its really upto the photographer. But my personal preference is only to do minimal post processing and minor corrections and use as less softwares as possible. This is the best that I could achieve in this photo, but I appreciate your views on the photograph :) --Dey.sandip (talk) 14:49, 29 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

SHORT DESCRIPTION
If you stand far enough away from the structure you can take the picture so that the columns are displayed right and thus give a sense of uniformity. Mr. Tomas, I'm not sure, I would have liked to see more of the columns and not that feeling like they were cut, also a little over the top. --The Photographer (talk) 02:57, 3 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Of course, but the problem is that there is no space in front to back off... I took the picture as far back as possible, beyond me there were stairs, a gate and a tree that obstructed the view. As far as the cropping, one has to determine the sections in such a manner that one has a "complete" "partial" story. Details in architecture are common and they demand thoughtful cropping. I think I achieved this. --Tomascastelazo (talk) 14:06, 3 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for your clarification, I've run into similar problems, what I do is an panoramic, and then modify the perspective. Use a wide-angle lens is an option. Nice shoot --The Photographer (talk) 13:33, 4 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Software can "fix" perspective "distortion" by stretching but no software can change the angle-of-view from below-the-subject to perpedicular-to-the-subject. This is clearly shot from below and that can't be fixed with any software. Some of our building shots, with perfect verticals, look weird because they are still shot from close up and below. The only solution is to get further away and/or higher up, to approach the perpendicular angle-of-view. But if the ground slopes down or there are obstacles in the way, there is no solution. One may consider that the artist deliberately wanted us to "look up" at this facade, in worship. Colin (talk) 13:59, 4 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Agree with Colin. Angle of view in itself gives us a perspective. The recent tendency to "correct" perspective in my opinion is an abuse of technological resources, the fact that the option is there does not meann one has to use it all the time. Perspective, up and down and side to side occurs naturally and it is affected by several factors: distance camera-subject, focal length and angle of view, etc. To try to "fix" up and down perspective, which gives us a visual sense of distance, height etc., is just as ridiculous to try to "fix" lateral perspective that gives us a sense of depth. In some cases correcting a little converging vertical lines that result from wide angle lenses, and thus a distorted view, works in order to render a more natural look, when a natural look is desired. In this particular case, the converging lines are in tune with the natural way one would see the subject (see the focal length) in person. In some architectural shots parallel lines may be desire in order to give a more dramatic view. The best way anyhow to correct perspective distortion is through the use of perspective correction lenses or view cameras with tilt/shift/rise/fall. Sofware correction, in my opinion, most of the time works as a gimmick. --Tomascastelazo (talk) 15:34, 4 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I'm no expert but my understanding is that perspective control lenses can't perform the magic trick of fixing the angle-of-view either. If you are only able to see the bottom of a gargoyle then there's no lens in the world will let you look it straight in the eye. A periscope perhaps? The perspective control lens has two advantages over software. Firstly, the software stretching will result in resolution loss. Which is why some stitched building images benefit from a little downsizing. Secondly, since the camera is pointed upwards, and a standard (rectilinear) lens has a flat plane of focus that is parallel to the sensor, one can't get the whole building in focus when tilting other than relying on a large depth-of-field. I dare say, however, that such lenses have their own distortions, limitations, and they are expective. The perspective fixing feature in Photoshop/Lightroom isn't very clever compared to Hugin. "Ye cannae break the laws o' physics!" -- Colin (talk) 15:55, 4 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
The angle of view remains the same, but what is important is how the image is recorded and the optical process. Basically perspective control lennses and view cameras allow for the film plane to be parallel to the subject plane, and the image travels in a diagonal manner. The center of the lens is not centered to the film plane but offset, and the subject plane and the film place are parallel, thus maintaining the verticals pretty much the way the brain sees them. There is a good article here #[[2]] and here #[[3]]. In any case, perspective control with a rise movement either with perspective control lenses or view cameras is entirely different than perspective control with software. Software will stretch pixels and the affected areas will not have the same resolution across the film plane. --Tomascastelazo (talk) 23:37, 4 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Support Professional studio shot of a notable Russian TV host. - A.Savin 10:59, 30 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  •  weak oppose: Commons definitely profits from professional studio photographs of celebrities. But for a "professional shot" there are two notably problems with hightlights on the skin (see notes). It is normal in portraiture that one side of the face is brighter than the other one, but espcially the hightlight on the forehead is too disturbing for me, probably a result of the slightly too low position of the main light. After dodging (if possible), pro from me. --Tuxyso (talk) 13:40, 30 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose Photography aside, I fail to see the value of featuring a portrait of a "notable" local celebrity. I think that the celebrity status should be reserved to those who make advances in science, the arts, politics, etc, that have a universal reach and who generate a universal agreement. --Tomascastelazo (talk) 19:17, 30 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

      • What is the featurable characteristic of this photograph then? Why then characterize this shot as as a professional shot of a notable Russian TV host, if notability is not an issue. The proposal then should be a professional shot of a Russian TV host. As a portrait of a person, not considering her notabiility, it is of marginal quality from the photographc point of view, that is, there is no extraordinary craftsmanship, and the portrait tells me absolutely nothing of who this person is, what she does, nor the field where she is "notable.". This photograph is undistinguishable from zillions of pictures of ordinary people. A portrait of a person? Try this #[[5]] --Tomascastelazo (talk) 07:40, 1 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support An attractive subject photographed well. The hightlights identified by Tuxyso don't bother me and fashion photography often has the face evenly light. The notability of the subject is a matter for their Wikipedia article, not Commons FP. Colin (talk) 22:28, 30 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose First of all, nothing interesting and intriguing: neither subject, nor composition, just girl and white background. I don't like unnatural studio background, especially white background, it's real shame. Beside, per Tomascastelazo, it does not reveal much to me about the person, who is she, what is inside, and thus it does not give a huge reading on my wow-o-meter. --Алый Король (talk) 09:12, 1 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Oppose So overcooked it got burnt. The image quality is awful and nowhere near FP. This was taken 5 years ago, not 100, and could be taken again anytime, so it doesn't meet any exceptions for historical images imo. While a dark sky and bright crosses is possible naturally (see this) I'm sceptical about the natural darkness of the grass surrounding front and sides of the cemetery but not behind it (see also this). That is too convenient to highlight the white crosses and fence yet still show the dark structures to the rear. It seems to me this image has, like many WLM contestants, strayed too far into manipulated artwork and away from reality. The image has been through Photoshop, so I'd be interested to know what retouching it has received. It could certainly have done with some NR. Colin (talk) 22:00, 3 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    • IMO, by this line of argument, most of Ansel Adams' images would not make it past the FPC screening. He spent a great deal of time dodging and burning and otherwise manipulating "reality" to fit his intentions. I think that shouldn't categorically exclude an image. For me this image brings to mind Moonrise, Hernandez, New Mexico, which has been manipulated significantly to bring out the contrast of blacks and whites (a search online will show lots of different variations of the prints based on when he made them, with the more contrasty, less "real" ones fetching significantly more money from collectors). Just to say that my impression is that too much attention to technical minutia can sometimes obscure the impact of a photo. Some of the most famous (and IMO most moving) photographs in history were technically flawed. Sorry to go on, but this is what struck me about this discussion. I mean my comments in good faith and with due respect. Almonroth (talk) 23:40, 7 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
      • No need to apologise. This is something worth considering as it affects the purpose of FP. There are three aspects here. The technical quality, manipulation and project scope. Ansel Adams's Moonrise has been printed at any size from 16 x 20 in. up to 40 x 60 in. (source). Five feet across! (1.5 m). I think his photograph is on quite a different level, quality-wise, to this one. This photo could probably be reworked if the raw is available to improve on the noise which is fairly offensive at 100%. At 50% the noise is eliminated but its lack of resolution, detail or tonal subtleties is covered up by the conversion to black and white, which forgives many sins. It becomes an "arty" picture, where we are less concerned with seeing blades of grass but more of the impression given. And it is a powerful picture from that point of view. As for manipulation, the FP criteria state "Unmentioned or misrepresented manipulations, or manipulations which cause the main subject to be misrepresented are never acceptable." and "Digital manipulation for the purpose of correcting flaws in a photographic image is generally acceptable, provided it is limited, well-done, and not intended to deceive." My guess is the grass in this field has been extensively darkened to provide a contrast with the white fence and crosses and therefore misrepresents the subject for the sake of art. If the photograph description page provided details of what manipulations had been done, then possibly the reaction would be different. Consider the 2012 Take a View Landscape Photographer of the Year Awards disqualified winner. Does WLM have guidelines on manipulation? As for project scope, I think FP is rightly biased towards educational images that are minimally manipulated and away from images that are attractive merely for being works of art. And perhaps Ansel Adams wouldn't get an FP for all his pics, and is that such a bad thing? After all, Commons is meeting a need for educational images, there are plenty other photography sites that only value the artistic. Colin (talk) 11:00, 8 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Oppose Good document. Bad technical quality. I fully agree with Colin. As a non native english speaker, it is difficult for me to detail my opinion, but I have exactly the same opinions, especially about the project scope of FP, and more generally, the scope of "Commons". Moreover and furthermore, that's why I think that the WLM contests, because of their results, focusing excessively on an "artsy" vision of photography, are actually a bad thing for "Commons", and are "out of our scope". Did you notice that a lot of WLM winners (not all) failed to pass the FP bar and even the QI bar ? It is very disturbing for me... I think the WLM contests rules should follow more strictly in the future the Commons Images Guidelines.--Jebulon (talk) 10:17, 10 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

SHORT DESCRIPTION
Please can you tell me what kind of portrait would suit a serious politician who, as far as I can tell, is responsible for transport in his party? This is a portrait, not a newspaper shot of him giving a speech at a conference (which is a clichéd image of a politician). I think there are sometimes unrealistic expectations of portraits, or there's a desire that a portrait tells you something about the person (when in fact it may do no such thing, and just reinforce the impression the photographer wants to give, or the viewer thinks they see). Colin (talk) 10:57, 7 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
If he's responsable for transport, i would like some reference to transport in the image. So take the guy out of the studio and take him to a subway/railway station, a bridge, a road... Something. If a portrait is limited to "here's a guy looking earnestly into the lens", portaits are boring, no matter what the technical quality. It leaves nothing in the image to seriously look at, except the pimples on his nose. Kleuske (talk) 12:02, 7 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
If you are going to write-off an entire class of images, because you find them boring, then I suggest you refrain from voting on them. He's currently responsible for transport. Next month he could be responsible for justice and the next year media regulation. To suggest that his current portfolio should be represented in any featured-quality image is naive. Should this lady and this couple be wearing crowns? -- Colin (talk) 12:26, 7 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not writing of an entire class of anything. I objected on specific grounds to this portrait and supported another, more interesting portrait quite recently. Crowned heads or otherwise, I don't give a [bleep] about who's depicted, as long as the portrait really tells me something about them. This image doesn't. It's a bland, generic image. Boring. Kleuske (talk) 12:56, 7 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I suggest you are writing off the formal portrait, which is a class of image and doesn't resort to ridiculous gimmicks like shooting the transport politician on the bus. Colin (talk) 14:04, 7 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I suggest you're fiercely attacking a strawman. Kleuske (talk) 14:17, 7 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Whatever. I wasn't the one that suggested taking the transport politician to the railway station in order "to tell me who or what he is and does". That's such a basic error I'd strongly oppose such an image. Colin (talk) 15:20, 7 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Sure... Next time wait for the image before opposing it. Strongly. Kleuske (talk) 15:28, 7 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Diagram of the centrosome cycle.
There is a version with editable text available that is linked to from the main file. I do not use the default Deja Vu font, as it renders extremely poorly (probably due to overly aggressive hinting).
The reason it rendered so well on your browser is precisely because the text is paths, and therefore unhinted. Hinting in moderation makes the text more readable at small sizes, at the cost of æsthetics, and on windows machines, can result in visible jaggedness and deformities. There are also issues with multiple font weights and kerning(which causes the text to collide with the graphics or get cut off).—Kelvinsong (talk) 20:23, 13 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • As I mentionned, it seems possible to embed the font into the SVG (the way you'd do to embed a PNG) by using base64 encoding, but this seems to require some hack. Otherwise, I think it's better to assess the editable version instead. I'm not fan of the deja vu font either, but I think it's OK. Maybe it's also possible to specify Helvetica and, as a substitute, Arial, which is sure to work on most computer (it's also possible to specify URW Nimbus Sans, an Helvetica clone, which is included in most Linux as far as I know). I think Helvetica renders quite nicely, and Arial is also fine although despised by some people. My other comment about typography issues still stands. - Benh (talk) 21:42, 13 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • I do not know how to embed fonts, and I'm not sure if its legal either. I've heard that it doesn't work with Mediawiki too. I think it's fine to have the text as paths and provide an editable text file alongside it—if you need to make substantial changes(such as a translation) to the text, it will probably radically alter the shape of the text regardless of the font, and if it's just a typo fix, it should not be too difficult to just copy and paste a letter. Most computers also don't have the variety of fontweights like the light versions that I make liberal use of(yes, they are necessary to form a sort of "hierarchy"—to demote less important stuff like alternative names and footnotes).
Again, remember that there is an editable text version that already exists—it's not the prettiest, but I thought the purpose of editable text versions was the textual content, not the typographical setting.—Kelvinsong (talk) 22:20, 13 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • I don't know where you bought your font, but if it's from adobe, you can embed it in anything. Now I did mention Arial/Helvetica because if you make them render fine, it will render fine on most computer. For instance, I don't have Deja vu on my Mac, and it renders with Times instead, which gives something pretty ugly. SVG allows you to specify a set of font and the order of preference. I don't know how to do it in Inkscape, but it should be possible from a text editor. I will try on your editable version maybe. It is not compulsory that we have the fonts on our machines if we're fine with the PNG generated by Wikimedia servers. And they have all the fonts we mention above (but not the Frutiger one of course ;) ). - Benh (talk) 22:29, 13 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
It is called Frutiger. One of those fonts you probably see everywhere(airports, state tests, posters, flyers, textbooks, commercials, signs) but never really recognized. If you don't have it, you can use alternatives called Myriad, CartoGothic, or Segoe UI which are nearly the same. All Windows users already have Segoe, CartoGothic is free to download, and Linux users probably know how to get Myriad and Frutiger. ;)—Kelvinsong (talk) 22:09, 13 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • I think it's too much to ask a user to get a font to see a drawing the way it was intended to be ;) that's why I recommend going with ubiquitous ones (if cannot embed). - Benh (talk) 22:31, 13 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • If all one wants to do is view the picture, then path-text should be fine, and is the best—most browsers do not allow you to select SVG text anyways. If one wants to edit the picture, that's what the editable text version is for.—Kelvinsong (talk) 23:08, 13 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Yes but since the editable version is easier to handle, it's going to be more useful. What do we do if you leave the project? Are we stuck with the editable version which renders very bad because Inkscape produces dirty SVG with plenty of parameters we don't need? So it's better we start using the editable version now and make it clean from scratch. Otherwise it's as good you provide bitmap. By the way, I just successfully embed a font in SVG file. If you are interested and have a UNIX (this includes Mac OS X) and base64 utility, I can let you know how (if you have Windows or other, I don't know...). - Benh (talk) 23:29, 13 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Hmmm unfortunately, Inkscape doesn't seem to read embedded font well, and I'm pretty much sure Wikimedia servers use it to render the PNG (it's callable from command line) (or have they already switched to librsvg2?). So if the SVG would render fine in a decent browser, the generated thumbnails won't look as good. Anyways, I've said enough on that. In short, SVG a more pig to handle than anything as of now :). - Benh (talk) 23:42, 13 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It seems impossible that such an exzellent photo should not bee featured! There must be something wrong with the conditions of the contest. Obviously everybody is touched when seeing little animals or is impressed when seeing big landscape but cars are not interesting for most of them. -- Lothar Spurzem (talk) 20:33, 22 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Well, thanks, Lothar. I appreciate your passionate support to my photo, and I also really love it myself, and would of course have liked to see it featured. You know, it could have been promoted if I had not abstained but supported instead, but I prefer if featured pictures of mine are promoted with a good margin, so I think it is OK. Only about 1 in 3000 images on Commons gets featured, so better one too few than one too many. That said, I agree with you that sometimes what reviewers favor seems a little one-sided. There are certain kinds of "cute" subjects, which just naturally attract more attention and support. As a consequence we do not have quite the diversity of subject in our gallery that I could could wish for. --Slaunger (talk) 20:47, 22 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Lotus 87B in practice of DAMC Oldtimer Festival 2007

In my opinion the ellbow of the photographer is a welcome foreground which gives some depth to the scene and the red jacket is an enlivening dot. But of course it is a matter of taste.

The processes of transcription and translation.


  •  Oppose Again, it's very nice work and aesthetic and my vote won't change anything, but i'd promote the editable version instead . It's already there after all... Also a bit cluttered (though certainly informative) and agree with the above. - Benh (talk) 09:03, 19 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Still, leaving it as text means no multiple weights—as you can see, it strips out all of the light and demi text, and most of the bold text. Also issues with italicized words italicizing up the whole line(See step 1 on the translation one). Browsers also seem to ignore the letter kerning in addition.
As for it being cluttered, I am always confused by textbooks which label complex diagrams with numbers and put a paragraph key somewhere off to the side—for me anyway, it saves me a great deal of confusion if the pictures are just put with the text instead forcing you to imagine invisible arrows.—Kelvinsong (talk) 20:19, 19 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
For cluttered, I can understand ur point. That's not my reason for oppose. But what happens below is precisely what I'm pointing at: we need you for any translation. Many diagrams on wikipedia are translated by someone else than author. As for the weight we have regular and bold for many typefaces and even the fancy extralight semibold and others for some. Maybe wikimedia servers now have the Source Sans Pro which has been open sourced by adobe. It's very very nice and has most weights you could dream off ;) Same for Google's Open Sans. I'll give it a try with one of your editable diagram when I have time. - Benh (talk) 23:12, 19 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
this seems to be a promising alternative (import fonts from google web font, see last answer, much easier than the base 64 embedding I mentioned before), it should work on most computers (but not on Inkscape) ! And if someone really wants to edit the svg itself, we could tell her/him to install the fonts. But I still think the simplest is to use common fonts. - Benh (talk) 23:20, 19 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I'll look into creating an alternative with Open Sans(there are many things I like about the font, several I don't), maybe merge the two files by having the editable Open sans text invisible(zero alpha, or white for the simpler pictures) and the original Frutiger underneath—Kelvinsong (talk) 02:30, 20 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • A problem I've realized—the way I work with fonts is I rename them in fontforge, so each weight is its own font instead of being part of a larger family, because Inkscape will not recognize any weights other than regular and bold. Example—Source Sans Regular (Family—Source Sans) I rename to Source Sans 55 Regular (Family—Source Sans 55), Source Sans Light (Family—Source Sans)Source Sans 35 (Family—Source Sans 35), etc, so they show up in the font menu like
Source Sans 15
Source Sans 25
Source Sans 35
Source Sans 45
Source Sans 55
Source Sans 65
Source Sans 75, etc.
These are bound to be missed by the mediawiki renderer, and anyone else trying to edit them...—Kelvinsong (talk) 21:01, 20 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Use the notepad and DjVu Sans fonts. DjVu Sans fonts are recomended by Kaidor. --Kirill Borisenko (talk) 22:12, 20 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • If you could provide me with the French translations, I would be happy to typeset them into the posters for you. (Per above comment, editability of text is irrelevant for this, translation(linguistic) means just delete the paragraph and write a new one).—Kelvinsong (talk) 20:19, 19 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Child labor in the US (1910).
  •  Info created by Lewis Hine - uploaded by US National Archives bot - restored and nominated me -- Kleuske (talk) 17:52, 17 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support -- I've been wanting to nominate this one for a long time, but the original is rather dusty. So i've spent some time removing the dust and scratches, resisted the urge to crop it and hope you think my efforts suffice. Kleuske (talk) 17:52, 17 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support Beautiful picture, well done! --Selbymay (talk) 11:06, 18 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support Definitely featured picture! Amazing quality for 1910 year! --Ximeg (talk) 13:41, 18 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment I think it would be more useful an image if the restoration went further (as an alternative file). The fingerprint, the crack at the top, the crease in the bottom right, the mark in the bottom left, the overall rotation and, yes, to crop. I don't think those defects add to the image. Colin (talk) 17:15, 18 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    • To each his own. I do think retouching too much damages the image, like polishing old brass to shine destroys the patina and can turn a valuable antique virtually worthless. You expect a century's worth of defects in a 1910 image that's been in the archive all the time. Compliments for noticing the fingerprint, b.t.w. I have surmised it might be that of the photographer, but there's no way to verify that. Probably just some lab or archive guy, anyway. Consider it an image of an antique photo of two newsies instead of an image of two newsies. History matters in this case, hence I tend to respect the defects incurred over the course of a century. I do not try to make it a 21st century image. Kleuske (talk) 17:47, 18 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
      • You've got your nostalgia hat on. The photographer didn't deliberately crease and tear the photograph, or mount it at an angle in the scanner. There are two pictures here: the one the photographer took and the one in an album 100 years later. I prefer the former, and I'm sure the photographer would too. Colin (talk) 22:38, 18 December 2012 (UTC) Just remembered all those awful camera-phone apps that deliberately ruin your photos so their as bad as your big brother's polaroid from the '70s. Hmm. -- Colin (talk) 22:42, 18 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
        • Nostalgia has nothing to do with it. Trying to make a 1910 image look like a fresh, modern picture is much the same as taking a modern picture and trying to make it look like a 70's polaroid image. Both are kitsch, trying to be what they are not. Trying to recruit the (deceased) photographer on anyones side is not a debating technique I find laudable or acceptable, b.t.w. Kleuske (talk) 11:58, 19 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
          • Well nostalgia may be the wrong word, but your comparison is not the one I am making. Nobody is suggesting a "modern picture" and picture restoration is not "kitsch". Your decision to do a halfway job merely reflects your taste preference for "looking a bit old and worn". There's no objective reason to prefer a damaged picture: nobody, upon finding a well archived old photograph, cries with despair at its mint condition. As for your last comment, I prefer to comment on pictures than get worked up about "debating technique" whatever that may be. I haven't voted, so if you find my thoughts on the matter unacceptable the just ignore them rather than get all grumpy. Colin (talk) 13:50, 19 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
            • There's no objective reason to prefer anything. There's no objective reason to prefer a fully restored image, there are no objective reasons to feature any picture, only subjective ones. That's fine by me. Preferences are notoriously subjective and they should be. You chose to give your opinion, to which you are entitled, i gave my reasons to have a different one. That's not "grumpy", that does not make my work "a halfway job", that's having a different opinion than you do. If you do not like people having different opinions, do not provide yours, since people are bound to disagree. Kleuske (talk) 14:35, 19 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
              • Hmm. I have no problem with us having different opinions. In fact I am interested in your opinion and rather hoped you might be in mine. Why might any two people discuss their opinions? Internet debate tends to think that the discussion of opinions must always be adversarial: one side wishes to change the other person's view and this leads to folk getting defensive or to attack someone's "debating technique" or point out logical falacies. These things bore me. Avoiding conflict was why I didn't vote over something that is just my taste. I'm absolutely not debating, and there's no reason for you to be defensive as there's no vote resting on any outcome (which I don't seek anyway). The question over whether the picture as taken and developed by the photographer is "objectively" preferential is probably best left to some student essay. I find it interesting that all efforts at archival aim to maintain the original state and yet we all at times express a preference for something deteriorated. Cheers, Colin (talk) 15:49, 19 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
                • If I weren't interested in your opinions, i would not have taken the time to read and digest them and motivate my decision to leave the imperfections as they are. I would have ignored you. The last sentence, again, arouses my interest, but i won't drag on. You say "deteriorated", i say "used and handled for a century". I like history. Kleuske (talk) 18:29, 19 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
            • Apropos "looking a bit old and worn"... I have never expressed such a preference and i usually don't like my images like that. I positively loath it if it's done artificially. When, however, an image is a bit old and worn, that should be visible. Kleuske (talk) 14:50, 19 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Oppose A more sophisticated restoration would have been nice. Sadly most NARA scans, like this one, don't provide a suitable quality for sincere digital restorations. Regards, Peter Weis (talk) 13:05, 26 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Comment Perhaps this can create some middle ground. The crop was off, so i gave the image some room to breathe and changed the format to jpeg. This is as much about photography in 1910 as it is about the two newsies. Back when it was not digital, but chemical and an archive meant rows and rows of filingcabinets instead of a database. All very much hands on. The imperfectections (crack, fold, fingerprint, somewhat shifty framing, the white border, somewhat damaged) stem from that. Removing them would lessen the value of the image, as it removes a layer of history. Kleuske (talk) 18:05, 20 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Unless I missed something, aliasing is only related to the renderer (if you look at the thumbnail, it's the SVG to PNG converter which is likely to be librsvg2, and if you look at the SVG directly, your web browser). Nothing one could do here. -- Benh (talk) 23:15, 18 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support It's true we don't have many diagrams. Although not as aesthetic as the below one, it's clear and easy to read. Since designed in greyscale, it could find many uses outside a website. I sort of agree with the typeface being used, but would only switch it for something more common (Arial, Helvetica). Verdana is Microsoft font (not included in Mac nor in Linuxes*). - Benh (talk) 23:27, 18 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • I should check before talking...en:Verdana "According to one long-running survey, the availability of Verdana is 99.70% on Windows, 98.05% on computers running Mac OS, and 67.91% on free operating systems like Linux.[6]". So it's only matter of tastes. - Benh (talk) 23:42, 18 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Sullivan, Commander, U.S. Submarine Force U.S. Pacific Fleet, who presented him with a command coin. He also received a pier side tour of USS La Jolla (SSN 701) and toured the Bowfin Museum. Johnson served in the U.S. Navy as a Torpedoman 1st Class for seven years and made several patrols aboard USS Holland and USS Devilfish. While on Patrol in the Pacific aboard USS Devilfish, Johnson and his shipmates survived a kamikaze attack and also managed to escape an enemy minefield.

  •  Oppose -- Nice composition but poor image quality. Most of the picture is unsharp (unfocused?) and the buildings at right are leaning. The exposure choice is not the best for the scene and suggests that the automatic mode was used. A more generous depth of fiels would be achieved with a smaller aperture (larger f number). Alvesgaspar (talk) 14:35, 29 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    No, f/9 on a crop sensor is perfectly fine for this kind of shot, and it's also not too small that diffraction kicks in. I think this is just general unsharpness for some reason or another. -- King of 20:31, 29 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  •  I withdraw my nomination I only noticed it now; all of my pictures lost on sharpness - probably that has something to do with the usage of older lens (in lieu of the kit ones which got in touch with water... and therefore doesn't function anymore). Btw; I take nearly all pictures using manual mode so F/9 was a conscious decision. --Miha (talk) 23:29, 29 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
