There is currently no WWI trench maps amongst the FPs. The image is a scan of an original Canadian Corps confidential situation map held at the Canadian War Museum. A German attack on the 3rd Canadian Division on 2 June 1916 resulted in the deaths of the divisional commander (Major-General M.S. Mercer) as well as the capture of a brigade commander (Brigadier Victor Williams), both of whom were making an inspection of the front line when the German attack began. The 3rd Canadian Division had to be pulled from the line and its front taken over by other formations. The map was produced on 9 June 1916 while plans were being developed for a counterattack to regain the lost territory (which took place on 14 June 1916). The map would likely have been used at either the divisional or corps levels to display the field situation.

Cadolzburg
Good image. There are few dust spots that should be removed IMO.--Mbz1 (talk) 03:30, 24 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
The D90 has an automatical sensor cleaner build in. So i dont think that there a dust spots. Maybe some birds are the reason. --Simonizer (talk) 14:07, 24 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Well, my canon also has automatic sensor cleaner. I wish you saw how many dust spots I have :). Anyway I am sure about 2 dust spots. If you'd like me to. I could upload an edited version to show where they are.On the other hand I could live with them, so  Support --Mbz1 (talk) 15:24, 24 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Erosion
So in your opinion it would have been better without the crane? --Mbz1 (talk) 12:25, 28 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, the crane makes the photo heavy on left, but on the other hand, without it the documentational value of the image would be lower. Anyway, I think this is a good news photograph and doubt that anyone else could have done it better from this angle. I just don't think it's exceptional enough to be featured. --MattiPaavola (talk) 12:43, 28 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, it is only the best image of erosion on Commons, the image that not only shows erosion itself, but the work that is done to fix it, but of course it is not good enough to be featured I guess . BTW, if I may ask, what was wrong with that image File:Bluff erosion in Pacifica 2.jpg, on what side it was heavy :) --Mbz1 (talk) 22:56, 30 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Please calm down - it was a neutral vote, not even an oppose! :-) I just think that these pictures were not aesthetically as exceptionally superb as e.g. your best pics, like File:Crepuscular_rays_and_Dead_trees_at_Mammoth_Hot_Springs.jpg or File:Seal_Rock_from_Cliff_House.jpg, are. While falling of a house into Pacific is of course very important and we should take erosion seriously, in my opinion we are not talking about historically very important pictures here compared to e.g. first aeroplane flight etc. Therefore, I expect the aesthetics to be on par with the other FPs. This is just an opinion of one Commons user from a distant country - don't take it too seriously! Keep up the good work and Happy new year! BR, --MattiPaavola (talk) 10:14, 31 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
whatever... Happy New Year to you too!--Mbz1 (talk) 19:51, 31 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

    • For the first time in 24 years I am speechless. Really. I find it unbelievable that a person boasting over 16,000 contributions has never actually taken the time to read the guidelines about file types, and instead invents his own guidelines just to have a reason to oppose. Sweet Jesus, I thought such things only happen in Poland. Wolf (talk) 19:19, 5 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
      • Yes, I have made over 16,000 contributions, but I do not boast about it. Also, I have not made up any guidelines. Perhaps you are confusing file types and file extensions. You have linked pages to file types, but not about the file extension to use. Please see Commons:File renaming and Commons:First steps/Quality and description. The latter says "For photographs, use JPEG (file extension .jpg or .jpeg)" and clearly indicating what file extensions are to be used. I am not doing this to just oppose, but I think that featured images should be in line with guidelines in every way. I realise that it would be fairly easy to rename the file, and if this is done, I would not oppose. I would like to see better compliance with basic guidelines in the featured images in general. Incidentally it is against wiki-guidelines to use eastereggs, so please remove the linked images from above. What are the eastereggs meant to mean? What happens in Poland? Snowmanradio (talk) 23:03, 5 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
        • What happens in Poland? This. This exactly, to the most minute detail. And above all, I refuse to comply unless I am given a proper justification of why it is essential and indispensible for the three letters to be lower case. If it is not essential and indispensible, I see no reason to comply, other than courtesy - I swear to God, I would not have a problem with this if you decided to let me know about it in a gentle and civil way (like you did just above), but you chose not to. Compare my oppose to SSL's recent nomination of F/A-18s which were preceded by at least two requests to shorten the filenames. More than that: I see every reason not to comply, as a gesture of civic resistance against such harmful actions. Because I do - with full responsibility, having thought through what I'm just saying - consider such voting as harmful. Mind you: not what you are trying to achieve, not the endavour of having extensions in lower case. But using this as a basis to oppose is, to the best of my judgment, contradictory to POINT. To sum up, quoting from the page linked by you: As a matter of principle it's best to leave all files with generally valid names at their locations, even if slightly better names may exist. Thank you for your attention. Good night and God bless. Wolf (talk) 23:34, 5 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • I think that it is unfortunate that we end up with featured images with file extensions that are not in line with the basic guidelines, and are likely to become bad examples of file naming to the general reader. Snowmanradio (talk) 00:22, 6 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

SHORT DESCRIPTION
  • The page linked above says "For photographs, use JPEG (file extension .jpg or .jpeg)." See also Commons:File renaming, where you will see files with bad names are also changed to jpg with the lower case. I expect it is because you can get File:Book.jpg and File:Book.JPG, which is confusing to have files with the same name except for the file extension. I think that FPs (the best on commons) should follow the guidelines. If you are going to upload a new version with a fix as suggested by an earlier reviewer, then please upload the modified version with a lowercase file extension. Snowmanradio (talk) 09:50, 6 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Well that text says nothing specifically about the case of the file extension. I think you are over-interpreting the guidelines and I do not think that reason is good enough to start renaming files. File renaming causes a lot of work on the other wikimedia projects that uses the files so frankly I think its best to leave the files with the names they already have. Every letter in the file name is case sensitive while naming files so there is a very large number of ways to name files with very similar ways and get confused. Please read Commons:File renaming that explicitly states 6 good reasons to move a file. Changing the case of the file extension is not one of them. --Korall (talk) 17:32, 6 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'm with Korall on this one, what exactly is accomplished by renaming these pictures? Is the quality of the image diminished in any way by having .JPG instead of .jpg? As far as I'm concerned, it's a giant waste of time and effort. The extension could be, .JpG, .jpg or even .JpG, and I wouldn't give a hoot. We should be grateful that people like korall, Wolf and others are generous enough to put their pictures on Commons for free. If you want to argue the toss, start a discussion on the talk page, in the meantime, strike your votes and get some commons sense. Sarcastic ShockwaveLover (talk) 19:57, 6 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Support Beautiful picture. I was a bit concerned when I saw the file size that it might be suffering from compression artifacts or reduced color, but viewing the picture at full resolution I wasn't able to spot any problems. DOF could be a little higher, but you got the entire head and most of the body in good focus. A focus stack might have gotten better results, but I don't think the DOF is so shallow as to be a problem. The green plant parts in the lower left are a bit distracting as they intrude on the focal plane, but again, that's a minor quibble. Severnjc (talk) 17:12, 3 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The idea was to show how both features look together. Many people, who see a sun dog never bother to look up, and to see, if there's something else at the sky. I see Circumzenithal arc about 2-3 times per year. In many places it is much more common occurrence. How many of you have ever seen one?--Mbz1 (talk) 18:50, 6 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Info A Panorama of rural/agricultural landscape in south Devon, UK with some snow. It is made up from 7 images.
  •  Info It is possible that some will say there is no "wow" with this image and, in a sense, I accept that. However I see this as a high quality illustration of a highly typical landscape in the west country of the UK. It shows a timeless setting of fields, hedges, sheep, a barn, woodland in an elegant way and I feel that timelessness is worthy of being featured. With agriculture and the landscape changing such scenes will not always be there. Distant moorland can also be seen.

tree line in the Rocky Mountain National Park
Kallerna, please read the name of this image: "Fog on the tree line in the Rocky Mountain National Park." This is an image about fog. Therefore it must be grainy, this is the quality of fog. I read in the regulation of FP (see above): "Focus - every important object in the picture should normally be sharp." Normally, not always. Sharpness is needed only in normally cases, if an image can be sharp. But this image shows the grainy effectiveness of fog.--Michael Gäbler (talk) 17:58, 12 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Tumuli Tinghøjen Denmark
  •  Support Probably not as sharp as it might be but even if it was an "ordinary" hill it would be a nice one :). As it is it has a good EV and is a well composed image. The info is useful too (I do wish more people would give more info). --Herby talk thyme 10:46, 9 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Comment - I also agree that the image's description needs to be fleshed out a bit more and expanded. Cousin Kevin (talk) 20:44, 9 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment. I have now (to the best of my ability) added an English translation of the known registrations for this tumulus based on the link that was already there on the file page. I hope that adds to the fleshing out requested. As for slight blur/resolution, I was a little in doubt of what would be the best composition in the end when I was on-site, so I took a relatively wide view and experiemented with cropping it at home until I got the nominated result. Due to the crop the resolution is non-optimal. I also took another photo, where I zoomed on the tumuli. This one resolves the tumulus a bit better, but I find the composition too uninteresting to consider nominating it at FPC. With respect to Kallerna's comment about the ordinarity of the subject, I can somewhat acknowledge this. The tumuli shown is not a special tumuli but just one of several thousands. And when you just pass them they quite frankly normally look quite uninteresting. My objective with this nomination is to try and make a regular/common subject look visually appealing and interesting. Had it been just a hill, it would have dissapeared a houndred year ago as a result of repeated plowing. The bushes on the tumulus indicate that it is untouched by agricultural machinery. That is how thousands of other tumuli have dissapeared, amongst those another tumulus, which once was right besides this one. Today that area is agricultural field and completely flattened out. --Slaunger (talk) 11:28, 10 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support Interesting historical subject and nice winter light! As there is only one hill visible, the English description should mention "tumulus" (singular) and not "tumuli" (plural). -- MJJR (talk) 22:33, 10 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    Ah yes, you are right. I've corrected it on the file page(s) (and in my comment above). And thanks for your appraisal of the winter light! --Slaunger (talk) 08:21, 11 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Phalaenopsis amabilis

 Comment Somehow I liked the original crop more than -the current one. It used to be an interesting forest of orchids and now it is just an orchid. (Macro standards for single flowers are really high here.) That said, both crops suffer IMO a little from central composition (see en:Rule of thirds or en:Golden ratio). The lightning and the DOF are quite good IMO and create a nice feeling. If you are going to reshoot you might want to increase DOF slightly and lower the ISO setting. --MattiPaavola (talk) 11:25, 14 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Comment Opinions, of course, are different. A forest of orchids... that's possible... focusing on one also, interesting enough I think. More DOF, less DOF... The remark on the composition helps! I'll go for one more picture here. Lowering iso setting... 50 is this one. Paul Hermans (talk) 11:54, 14 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment The same plant, a reshoot with more focus on the golden ratio and DOF Paul Hermans (talk) 16:32, 14 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Neutral Lighting is great and I like the composition, but it seems a little oversharpened to me (certainly these are not jpeg artifacts?). Do you have suitable processing software? If not, I´m shure someone here will help you out. I would support a version with better sharpening. [That´s the problem with asking for opinions: you get a lot of them :)] Nikopol (talk) 22:16, 14 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment Thanks for your comment, Nikopol. This picture was taken, not as a jpeg but it is a raw image, imported in Photoshop CS3 and saved as a png. The aperture f9, already sharpens the picture. I had it sharpened more in photoshop and denoised because of previous remarks. Don't tell me now it is too sharp :-)
  •  Comment May I propose that the different versions made during the review would be uploaded with different file names and promoted here as alternatives since it is now quite confusing to know which comments apply to which version. (Actually, we really should be having this discussion in Commons:Photography critiques instead and just the end result should be posted here.) Anyway, my comments regarding the fourth version: the white balance is off and the right crop is too tight. My personal favourite so far is the first version (with denoising). --MattiPaavola (talk) 00:11, 15 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

An Australian Magpie digging for food, shown at the instant it ejects a grub.
  •  Neutral - Good moment, good composition, but sorry, I find the colors a little boring: the grass should be greener.

  •  Comment "The grass should be greener" sounds like something my forefather European settlers must have said when they originally came to Australia and all their crops failed :-P. If you see green grass in my photos it's an anomaly - we're still in a bad drought. Perhaps the manicured lawns around buildings are green, but out on the headland it is certainly not. --99of9 (talk) 09:55, 15 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Info Engerer Beschnitt.
  •  Oppose First of all; My compliments for the stitch. Stitching photos of a tree with so many details at this distance without parallax errors is challenging without very good camera control. At least, I find it hard to do. As a consequence of the stitch you have very many details in the branches and twigs of the tree. Having said that, the centered composition is really too uninteresting for an FP. The light is rather flat too, and I find the sign in front of the tree mildly distracting. --Slaunger (talk) 19:30, 21 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

SHORT DESCRIPTION
English wikipedia is not commons. Commons is not English wikipedia. This file was not uploaded primarly for use on English wikipedia, and Enlish wikipedia is not my "home wiki" so I do not really care about their guidelines in this case (Its totally possible that there are som good stuff in there but they do not override the guidelines on commons in the commons FP process). It is possible that a lot of local wikipedia projects have different guidelines about files. I dont know all those languages so I cannot tell which they are.
As already pointed out for you, several times, by different users, there are no specifications of the case of the file extensions for uploading on commons. If you would like to see guidlines about that on commons, please start the discussion on the guideline talk or some other suitable place. The FP candidates is not the right place for that kind of discussion. Please respect that for nominations in the future.
Yes there are file specification for uploading to commons. See Commons:First steps/Upload form - "You should use a descriptive name and follow the draft Commons language policy and/or the Wikipedia naming conventions for the language used, which give guidance on capitalisation, non-alphanumeric characters, etc." Snowmanradio (talk) 22:44, 22 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • I certainly agree the competition is getting hard on CR imagery. That said, I think that this picture (as well as File:Indre Fure, Stadtlandet.jpg and the 2 you have submitted for delisting) are quite different from the other images you mentioned. The CRs in Mila's images that are the result of tree shadows in mist/steam relatively close to the camera. On the other hand, the CRs in this picture are the result of cloud shadows in haze several miles from the camera (IMO the more frequent formation mechanism). Given the different origin of the rays, I wouldn't really say the existence of FPs of one type should exclude FPs of the other.--Nilfanion (talk) 22:12, 21 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    I acknolwedge your point about different formation mechanism, so I have striked out my "tending to oppose" remark. I still maintain my slightly upstream neutral vote though. The reason being that I would rather see contributors trying to contribute with new subjects and display a little more ingenuity in what they nominate. I think we have many gaps in our FP gallery concerning subjects, espcially concerning topics related to people, history, science, society, culture, politics, etc. Topics were getting images, which the magical wow is perhaps a little more challenging than CRs . For me, the CR images, though nice and educational when not overdosed are starting to be a bit like the notorious sunset/sunrise images, which are all beautifull, but of questionable value. This is not meant as criticism of your photo (which is very nice). More a general comment regarding the distribution of FP topics with CRs FPs taken as an example. --Slaunger (talk) 09:05, 22 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Yeah fair enough. I don't think CRs are as bad as sunsets (yet), though I didn't really go out of my way to take this picture it just happened :) I wish we would get more FPs on "valuable" topics too, but some topics are always going to be easier than others (anyone say macro?) - in any case that's a discussion for somewhere other than here...--Nilfanion (talk) 13:31, 22 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Griffon vulture Gyps fulvus in zoo Salzburg. These birds live close to the zoo but get food at the zoo. So you can see them sometimes in the zoo.
I used a very fine sharpening for the feathers, and I blurred the background to avoid unnecessary noise in the dark background which would increase the file size without any informnation. But there is no blurring to avoid any structures in the background.. This from the lens (300 mm plus 2x extender, resulting a 600 mm lens on a fullframe sensor, so a very narrow depth of focus. You can see that in the bird itself, the "farest" parts of it start to blurr also. But I would be able to produce a version as you described. I will wait for further comments.

  •  Oppose Nice bird, although the pose covers up a fair bit of the shape. Processing artifacts are still too obvious. The line between head and background is spotty on one side and smooth on the other (if you really want to do this differential processing, perhaps you need to blend it at the edges). The leaves below are too noisy (sharpened noise?). --99of9 (talk) 09:31, 18 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose Per 99of9, but I´ll support if you manage a denoised foreground and work a little on the edges. Is it possible you sharpened all of the picture and then blurred the background? I would suggest sharpening only the bird with help of a mask and selectively denoising fore/background. Nikopol (talk) 12:23, 18 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Info Thanks for the tips. So I tried to follow them and made an new approach Created a version with only a small amount of noise reduction and a version with the old sharpening. (Each version from three different aperture levels from the raw file.) Blended these versions with a smaller blending on the left side an a wider on the feathers at neck an head. Blending was done with individual pencil strokes on a mask not with a fixed radius to prevent the contours of the feathers as far as possible. Smoothed the beak, reduced the colors a little bit. MatthiasKabel (talk) 22:17, 18 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment The leaves are greatly improved. The whole image now has normal-looking noise, so I think your noise-reduction is now too small :), but am willing to overlook this given the high-res file size. I've struck my oppose, and will change it to a support when you clone out the dust spot I've marked. 99of9 (talk) 23:15, 18 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, but I had to correct one point of your corrections ;-) Yes, the photo was below of the bird, which is the natural point of view for an human watching a bird on a tree. There are some other pictures of these vultures from different point if view, perhaps also better for scientific purposes, but not such good colors as this picture.

SHORT DESCRIPTION
  •  Support Don't knock commercial!! Wouldn't it be amazing if every commercial was under a free licence? This one is, and it's got EV, and it's one of our best pictures. Therefore FP to me. --99of9 (talk) 23:21, 18 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Neutral After thinking this a little more, let me set my words differently. If other manufactures notice that there is a great product picture of an Audi in the main page with lots of visibility, they might start contributing free high quality images of their own cars here. I agree that it would certainly be a positive thing. However, while this particular product image is technically perfect, I would prefer to see the car in action for it to be an FP. Or, if it was an exhibition shot like this one, a nice catch in the composition, e.g. related to a person presenting the car, would make it FP IMO. Therefore, I decided to keep my Neutral vote, sorry. Don't get me wrong, this is certainly a valuable contribution to Commons - I just don't think it is an FP. --MattiPaavola (talk) 11:40, 19 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Some second toughts after reviewing with another monitor: the highlights are burned. Is there any change the author could lower the exposure or just the highlights from the original raw file? Also, any volunteers to lower the vignetting after that? :-) I think it would be worth it for this excellent composition. --MattiPaavola (talk) 09:48, 20 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • I did take a look at this. Most of the vignetting went quite well but the bottom right was persistent. Care would also need to be taken with lower exposure only as there are already some clipped areas at the other end too. Throw in the ca and while I agree it is a nicely composed image there is quite a bit to do to really get it to an FP standard maybe? --Herby talk thyme 17:05, 20 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Jackdaw (Corvus monedula)

  •  Support It is excellent for scientific illustrations in biology pages. Snowmanradio (talk) 19:06, 23 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment I presume that it was free-flying in the zoo grounds - can you clarify this in the image description? The image description was disappointing for a scientific illustraion, so I have put in some more details in the image description to help to bring the associated documentation to this file up to standard. Snowmanradio (talk) 19:37, 23 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
 Info You are right. I tried to clarify the image description, feel free to correct my english. MatthiasKabel (talk) 20:00, 23 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
OK, I have rephrased it a bit. I have seen Jackdaws and crows in Whipsnade Zoo, England - I think Jackdaws tend to live in family groups. Would you say that the flock was large or a group of about 10 to 20 or so? I would like to quantify the number of Jackdaws in the flock a bit better. Why not add an image description in German (or your native language)? - it is a Austrian zoo. Incidentally, have you got any photographs of the parrots in this zoo?

  •  Comment The shadow, which is cropped of a little bit distracts me somewhat. IMO the shadow should either be entirely in the frame, or cropped deliberately, so to say. (Hope you get the idea, I have difficuties expressing precisely what i mean in English). --Slaunger (talk) 21:30, 23 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, will wait for more comments and and depending on them crop the image. MatthiasKabel (talk) 22:05, 23 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
That is a good point about the shadow, and perhaps a little more foreground might help place the bird in the centre of the image and let us see a bit more snow (but not too much). When the shadow is included the bird might be too far over to the right, so some extra space might be needed on the right of the bird. another option is to do a tight crop focusing on the bird, but I suspect it might not be so clear what the bird is doing. Snowmanradio (talk) 15:29, 24 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
 Comment Concerning a tighter crop and a centered composition, I agree that is a good path for use in, e.g., a taxobox. Encouraging photos well suited for online display on Wikimedia projects is the focal point of the Valued Images program, for which this photo, when cropped as you say, may be a very good candidate within the scope Corvus monedula. However, the focal point for COM:FP is a little different IMO with more emphasis on the esthetics, technical quality, resolution and composition, and here a centered composition with a tight crop would be the wrong avenue to follow IMO. --Slaunger (talk) 15:55, 24 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Oppose Nice colours but far too noisy. kallerna 14:26, 21 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Question Is grain unacceptable in analog photography? Could grain be an element of design? Could there ever be a scale of acceptable grain or will it always be a subjective evaluation? Did critics of analog photography put a magnifying glass to every image looking for grain? When choosing a car does one look at the underside to see if it is aesthetically appealing? Does an out of focused part of an image ruin the entire image? It could, or it could not. A photograph is a collection of elements, and very, very seldom will they all be at their technically best. Noise is the digital version of grain. Grain/noise is a result of ISO. ISO is a result of light conditions most of the time. There has always been grain/noise, there will always be grain/noise. Whether it works or not will largely depend on the degree of magnification/reproduction and viewing distance. Even the most grainless/noisless image will show grain/noise at certain magnification. Let´s throw Robert Capa´s work into the trash... too grainy ;o) --Tomascastelazo (talk) 21:05, 21 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment No, Grain is fine. Especially in analog photographs. We sometimes added grain to digital images to make them look less sterile (in print). There is really no point in zooming to 100% and then to say, ahh, but it has grain. This image, downsampled to 3000x2000 px has grain directly comparable to digital images. But it makes no sense to downsaple it just that the "grain comments" stay away. --Amada44 (talk) 10:28, 23 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support I really like the colors, and I don't mind the noise in this case. --Lošmi (talk) 00:47, 22 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment Welcome back, Tomas! I have missed your photography! Especially i am hoping to see more of your people photography in the near future. I really love the idea with the composition in this photo. It seems for me though that the colors have been tweaked, for instance, that the fruits have an increased stauration or that the background has been selectively desaturated? If something has been done to tweak it, i think it would be relevant to mention on the file page. I don't know what has happened but the fruits look a little too colorful IMO. Concerning noise, it does seem a little excessive, although I actually perceive a lot of it as texture. I was wondering if an overall better photo could be acheived by selectively desaturating the BG elements quite a bit, and then also decrease the saturation a little on the fruit to remove some of the perceived articifiality that I get from it - that would probably also reduce the noise problems to a more reasonable level? --Slaunger (talk) 22:32, 22 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Slaunger: Thanks for the welcome! This is the scoop on this pic: light conditions low, hence ISO 800, hence noise, hand held camera; autolevels in PS, middle tones adjusted for more saturation, background as is, not unsaturated, sharpened and added contrast. Normal darkroom procedures, 45 sec adjusting all. The original capture of the camera, due to chip bias, WB, etc., etc., is not a true reflexion of the scene, and even less of what the brain sees. So I adjusted image to reflect what my brain saw, my vision. Color fidelity in anycase is never right, too many variables. Image is as I like it noise and all. --Tomascastelazo (talk) 16:37, 26 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    • OK, thanks for explaining what you have done. Now, I did you a favor by correcting a spelling mistake in one of your categories. Now, would you be so kind to add the editing details in a {{Retouched}} template to the file description, because that is where they belong. As I recall you are usually, let's say, quite laid back concerning the image descriptions and categorization of your photos, thus I am asking you kindly hoping to motivate you. Meanwhile, I will consider your reply and think about my vote... --Slaunger (talk) 19:48, 26 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    • Seeing on my talk page that you do not consider your edit a "retouch" - which I can follow - it is of course OK just to add a description of the editing steps in the description, such that others curious to understand how this photo was realized could learn about it. --Slaunger (talk) 20:28, 27 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Lights on a vintage Daimler-Benz truck (Mercedes-Benz Museum, Stuttgart, Germany)
  • I would support this version, since the sharpening is done well (except for some haloing, but IMO it´s not grave) and because I love the colors. But there is one thing: This time, you did not correct the perspective. It is only a small change, but in comparision, I think like the composition of the old version better ;) Nikopol (talk) 15:23, 23 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Next try :-) Your point is valid from an aesthetic point of view, but when I look at the raw picture I'm afraid that the parts on the probably hand-build truck are far from being really vertical and/or parallel. I did my best to correct this in the image. --Pjt56 (talk) 17:08, 23 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Yes, I already imagined that the correction might maybe not be completely realistic (though pleasing in terms of composition), and I think you found a good compromise there. On this version, with the decrease of halos you again reduced overall sharpness (I would have recommended selectively taking out only the halos in a mask, since the rest of the image was desperately longing for sharpness). But as it seems, all your fine work will not convince the rest, so maybe you really should try reshooting if you want to return to the museum anyway. But thanks a lot for your work!
