"She jumps out the screen in her red uniform" - except its orange and you should be able to tell that from the photo. Rmhermen (talk) 06:14, 4 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support — Julian H.✈ (talk/files) 14:16, 1 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support. Sorry, I do agree with Colin on this one. This is far more interesting than the bland portraits they usually take. This is an artistic portrait and you can tell that it isn't accidental that the photo is 'underexposed' in parts. Targeted lighting is a completely legitimate method and I think it's been executed very well in this case - the only question is whether you like it or not. As with any art, we're all entitled to make our own mind up about that, but the photo does not contain major flaws in any objective sense. Diliff (talk) 15:58, 1 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment I checked the file history, visits the source pages several times. Personally I don't like full body portrait; so prefer a half body one similar (but a bit more generous crop on bottom) to one in Flickr. But showing the full costumes may have more EV.
Does PD NASA overrides non commercial restriction imposed at http://www.si.edu/termsofuse/ ? Jee 03:41, 2 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
The "half body" is just a crop someone made. The actual portrait has the same vertical size but is actually a bit wider. See this photo of it. It is interesting the white balance appears different in that photo and the colours more saturated -- but it is hard to tell what is right. Another photo from that set has Collins with her helmet off and two examples here and here look different to this. I prefer a less sickly coloured sky. -- Colin (talk) 14:24, 2 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for nominating this image.

NorbertNagel, we often have several featured pictures of the same subject, sometimes even the same angle of view. This view and the other are different enough that many would not even suspect they were the same building. So please strike your invalid reason for oppose. -- Colin (talk) 16:54, 30 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I understand, that we have different opinions on this topic and that it may have happened earlier that several pictures of the same subject have been featured, but this does not mean that my position is invalid. I ask you to respect my opinion as I respect yours. -- Norbert Nagel (talk) 17:38, 30 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
You are suggesting this is how FP should operate, which is a question beyond this individual picture. The idea behind FP is to select the best pictures on Commons, not the one best picture. I can respect differing views on one picture but if you want a different FP from the rest, then you need to get consensus for that change. I can also respect your view of how FP should work, but fundamental shifts such as this may be considered disruptive change is suggested by voting at the image-level. You've chosen a rather bad example to make your point. We do often oppose or go neutral on images that are too similar to others (especially recent) but never because it is the same building, even from the other side. -- Colin (talk) 17:55, 30 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Norbert, so if there is already one FP of an entire category, by your logic there should not be a FP of any other photo in that category? In this case, the category is for an office complex, and in that complex there are many notable buildings, each deserving of a FP IMO. As the two images are both clearly a different subject and a different object, the category they are in is mostly irrelevant. All it does is suggest that perhaps we could create more specific categories for each subject. That is not the fault of the image(s). Diliff (talk) 18:28, 30 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  •  weak oppose: First: I've seldom seen such brilliant combination of HDR and stitching technique - probably the highest quality shots of that type we have on Commons - you master the processing of those images in a nearly perfect way. The same with the image here: The quality is far beyond QI average - I've only discoverd a small artefacts from stitching / fusing (see note). The reason why I oppose anyway is mainly due to compositional aspects: the different widths of the framing building at the left and right, diagonal elements on the floor starting amid the image and not going through the complete picture, the building at the right background distracts the symmetry, an unclean border of the right framing building and finally the different types of surfaces at the left and right which also distract the symmetry. All in all: This centered shot can for me only work with perfect symmetry which is distracted by several elements. --Tuxyso (talk) 18:34, 30 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    • Thanks for your comments. I agree with you that it could possibly be improved by centring the image so that the widths of the two surrounding buildings are equal. I left it slightly off-centre because I thought the tree would seem cropped otherwise but I concede it might be better. I'm happy to upload a centred image over the top of this one. I assume this is not enough to convince you to support however. I did take a similar panorama of this building another evening but I wasn't as pleased with the lighting as it was too dark. It may solve some your compositional issues. The view is from much closer so the building is more distorted, but the distracting foreground elements are minimised. What are your thoughts? Not as a potential FP candidate, but in terms of the composition. Diliff (talk) 22:30, 30 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
      • I prefer the closer view. I am personally a great fan of close shots of buildings because the lines and architecture are accentuated well there. See for example this shot I've photographed with a T&S optic. To your closer image: It is much better that the pyramid-shaped building at the right is hidden. But there are still distracting elements at the left and right. I would crop them out - see my proposal. But cropping is always a matter of personal taste. But you are right, light is better on the nomination. --Tuxyso (talk) 23:15, 30 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
        • I will see if I can revisit (for a third time!) and improve on both images with good composition and good lighting. As you say, cropping is a matter of personal taste. I try to 'let them breathe' (as Richard Bartz mentioned on another nomination) but sometimes it's just not possible. In this case, the building is cropped either by the framing or by the buildings - you can take your pick about which. ;-) Diliff (talk) 23:45, 30 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Isabelle Faust with her stradivarius
We find it easy to pick fault in some remote professional's donation (e.g., although well done and looking fantastic on preview, one of the eyes isn't completely in focus at 36MP peeping or similar fussiness). Here, because Savin is one of us, we were too kind last nomination by saying nothing and he has misinterpreted that when renominating. Or perhaps we are looking to make allowances. Why? Nobody makes allowances for one of our holiday landscape/building snaps being the wrong light or bad weather? I have a whole gallery of Scandinavian professional portraits, some candid like this and some posed, and many of them could be FP perhaps and many far better than this. Do a Google Image search on the "Isabelle Faust" to see how a good portrait of her (posed or playing) might look. Then come back here and consider if "very good in every respect" is a reasonable conclusion and whether my comments are harsh but fair. FP is supposed to be our very best and make us go wow with appreciation. -- Colin (talk) 16:13, 31 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Woodcarved summit cross on the mount Seceda 2519 m.
  • ✓ Done New version, thanks, you're right, oversharpening is certainly (one of) my biggest default. --Christian Ferrer 08:55, 3 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    • Well, to my eyes, nothing much has changed. The fence poles still have the halos left & right, and the cross a slightly less noticeable halo on the left. However, I've given this image some more thoughts, and I must say I'd even oppose this crop being featured if these halos were completely fixed. First, I do think there's something wrong with the snow; see my comment on the original nomination. But more importantly, I feel that by cutting off the cliff at the bottom right you lose the vertical dimension. It's nearly as if the cross stood on some unremarkable hill.

Rudrón river (Burgos, Spain) starts at the exit of this karstic system. Differents water streams merge and cross the valley depicted here, entering inside the cave (on the left) called Basconcillos Cave. Rudrón river, with this name, exits from this karstic system several meters away.
  •  CommentYes, it flares on the right but it does not affect to the general composition. You should note this is a huge image due to it is a panorama made merging 5 vertical photographs and the position of the sun is perfect to give light to the main entrance of the cave. I had to take a decission: to maintain in darkness the cave with no sun in the composition or wait until the best hour to take the pictures, that is, with light inside the cave (you can check the river entering inside) and the green valley. I preferred the last option.

If my photos are for your eyes of a status insuffisant, you can pass your way or oppose. -- Christian Ferrer (talk) 19:06, 05 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
"Convince" is too strong and not what I asked. I feel many of your nominations are technically ok pictures but lack "wow", or even any clear subject. Why do you go "wow" when you see this picture. If you can't express your own amazement at the picture, why should anyone else be struck by it. Thanks. -- Colin (talk) 21:23, 5 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Colin, I could very well say why I find it wow, but I prefer to let each make the own opinion each. Good state of mind, isn't it? -- Christian Ferrer (talk) 21:38, 05 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I find it odd why on Commons FP people don't give a rationale for their support/nomination like they do on en:wp. We are left with a picture and to figure out why it is special. A really special picture is obvious and gets 10 supports before the next day. Sometimes it takes some help to know why something is good - it isn't obvious. But also, if you can't explain to others why it is special, then I feel you shouldn't nominate. Seriously, Christian, why is this special? You might not convince me, but you might convince someone else to support. -- Colin (talk) 22:52, 5 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
If you or someone else see nothing special in this picture, maybe it is not special and do not deserve to be promoted, I choose to let my photographer's talents to convince you. Is it so bad? Sorry if my pictures irritate you or someone else. I work hard to improve and I consider good to use my current and future actives nominations to make you share my work and my "extraordinary photos of landscapes". -- Christian Ferrer (talk) 06:06, 05 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
The company, Lafarge, may be the worlds largest cement manufacturer, but this plant doesn't look special at all. And the light is not good photographic light. And the landscape doesn't, I'm sorry to say, look that nice. There's really nothing FP about this. -- Colin (talk) 21:23, 5 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Macaca nigra self-portrait
I'm sorry; but I sympathize with the efforts of "the photographer in background". (per Saffron's comment below) Jee 03:02, 10 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • I have been in contact with the photographer and he indicates that the first time this image was uploaded to Wikimedia he requested it be taken down and it was. He is quite unhappy it was re-uploaded and asserts his copyright over this image and is seeking legal advice to escalate this further. Saffron Blaze (talk) 23:01, 9 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
This is quite a serious issue. If that what you state above is true, those three images should be suggested for deletion asap. Sandstein and odder are OTRS members, with the result that their real names ( + probably the adresses) are relatively easily ascertainable. I think none of both would be pleased to be taken to court by a photographer who claims copyright on that pictures and has a real chance to have it adjudged. --A.Savin 21:29, 10 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
It makes no sense to me to sue individual volunteers. If somebody has doubts about the PD rational, he/she can start a DR and the community will discuss and decide. Also the photographer is able to contact the WMF legal department. If they think he is right with his claim, they will remove the files. Sueing an individual volunteer instead of contacting WMF will fail in most jurisdictions I guess. Jcb (talk) 21:44, 10 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
No opinion on this process, but the deletion discussion at Commons:Deletion requests/File:Macaca nigra self-portrait.jpg resulted in keeping the image, and as discussed there other media organizations have also refused to recognize copyright claims in this image. Sandstein (talk) 21:49, 10 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • A glorified blog whose underlying mantra articulates that "I want a PRINCIPLED Free Culture Movement" is to be trusted as a reliable "media organization" when it comes to the discussion of copyright, given their disdain for the photographer in this case, is quite a dubious position to take.

 Info This is not Krishna, this is Shiva. --Joydeep Talk 07:57, 12 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • That's not the gist of the discussion from what I've read. Lets say I take Vishnu, and depict him in a new way, perhaps inspired by public domain works and in a similar style. The new poses, backgrounds, etc. would still draw a new copyright. Otherwise every depiction ever published of any public domain figure would also be public domain, which is certainly not recognised. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 05:49, 12 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Agree; but most of the "components" I'm seeing on those pictures (including two small pictures on the stick) are very common in India. They are heavily re-printed and sell on roadside for a price of their printing cost. The watermark we are seeing there is that of the re-publisher. Here, in India, we use everything for free, including Microsoft Windows. :) Jee 06:16, 12 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • LOL, it's very similar in Indonesia ;-). However, as the servers are in the US, and US copyright law is a bit stricter, I'd want proof that this print is already public domain before supporting (unless, of course, we determine that it is de minimis). — Crisco 1492 (talk) 09:04, 12 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Saints Cosmas and Damian, miniature from the Grandes Heures of Anne of Brittany, f. 355, (16th century)

  •  Oppose Restoring scratches, blemishes, etc. went quite well, and applying a black background is a good idea. As the high resolution original reveals, the colours in this nomination are a tad too bright. Assuming the original faded over the years it's quite reasonable to apply some sort of brightening and contrast enhancement. I'd be glad to support an improved version. The book's binding (and the resulting bend) is always an issue, but I think it's fair to assume that separating the original is not an option.

  •  Support As some may know, the "Community" nominates me as a kind of specialist of restoration, and of this special book. No one have any idea of how such a restoration is difficult, and needs time and care in post-processing. Far much more than for any photograph here around. And this one is very well done. Yes, the brightening is maybe a bit strong (faces), but illuminated books, especially made for a Queen, were painted with "harsh", and flashy colors, with exagerated contrasts, in order to remain colorated for years or even centuries. Remember that this was painted around 1500; 500 years ago ! And we kept enough of original colors, to be able to restore almost how it was. Look, one can see the brush marks ! So, I support strongly this picture of the famous two brothers, patrons of med. doctors. My advice: add a bit of darkness, and reduce the brightness a little, then adjust the contrast.--Jebulon (talk) 09:15, 12 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
New file uploaded. I understand Chistoph Braun's arguments ( he's an expert too) but I think Jebulon, who worked on this book before me, understood what I tried to do : I wanted to show the picture as it could be seen by Anne de Bretagne the first time she had a look at it... I know it's difficult and probably impossible but it can be honestly tried, especially with somebody else's advice. So I've modified a bit my first picture according to the upper appreciations. I hope the difference with the original is now not so big as it was previously.--JLPC (talk) 18:20, 12 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

 Question But What about of image size? --Wilfredo R. Rodríguez H. (talk) 12:52, 15 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Size is definitely better with the new version, but at a moment I don't see that this addition in size will add much to the image. It doesn't bring out new details. Kruusamägi (talk) 15:24, 15 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Yes; there is a huge size difference. But I failed to understand your intention here. From the EXIF, I assume both are same work with background retouched in the first nomination. But there is no such information give there. Personally I discourage delist and/or replace if the benefit are marginal as there is a lot of background works we are doing for every FP (including the silent work by Thierry Caro to categorize them properly).

Chevrolet Malibu 1977 BW
✓ Done The montain in "original" version is really artificial. I built photography based on another of the same montain, I think that histogram is fixed. Nice review --Wilfredo R. Rodríguez H. (talk) 14:53, 12 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, the histogram still looks the same. It's shifted to the left, topping out at about 200, with the range above basically empty. The distribution is completely different from the color version. I tried desaturating the color version myself: a little gamma correction in the highlights, bringing the gamma down a notch to bring out more details on the ground in the foreground left, and then a luminosity-based desaturation. That gives a, IMO, much better balanced B/W picture. But of course, it still has that problematic upper left corner from the color version...
The mountain is now really better, but again this rather heavy-handed edit now lost the left half of the triangular sign on the pole, and gives a strange effect where the shrubs to the left of the pole are dark, and immediately to the right are very bright. If you could upload a color version with the original, unedited upper left corner, I can give this a try myself to produce a B/W version.
I like this image, but I also think the less editing is done the better. Lupo 16:24, 12 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
You're becaming maniac with the histogram, I invite you to see image itself. There is no perfect histogram, each image has a different exposure which creates a different histogram. A perfect histogram kill artistic compositions --Wilfredo R. Rodríguez H. (talk) 17:19, 12 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
No, I'm not a maniac. I find the image too dark and too subdued, and the histogram and especially its comparison with the color version tells me why. But you're free to disagree, of course. Lupo 20:11, 12 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Typical Serbian Christmas meal, each described with note. Photo done by stacking of 4 photos. Candle tilted in real, however some PD within glasses. PD correction didn't work nice, also due to narrow crop so I left it original.
The Photographer no longer sees the picture, just the CA. -- Colin (talk) 19:21, 15 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I would agree, the CA on the bottom left is stronger and worth tackling, whereas the "CA" that The Photographer has been edit-warring on the file-description-page to keep is essentially sub-pixel. -- Colin (talk) 08:13, 16 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • ✓ Done CA removed, good observing Julian, haven't saw it earlier. The Photographer - I really cant help there, I cant see any CA there, if you could be more precise I could solve. --Mile (talk) 14:22, 16 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
At the Candle edge and over the scarf skirt bottle you can see chromatic aberration, ie an aura of green and red. Still there --The Photographer (talk) 15:19, 16 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
There's actually still strong CA in a few places in the highlights of the silverware. But on the candle and napkin the CA is at perfectly acceptable levels. The Photographer, sub-pixel-peeping a 16MP image is disruptive. Please stop. It will only encourage people to upload downsampled images and then Commons is the loser. If you want perfection, I'd be grateful if you could buy me a Zeiss Otus for my birthday. -- Colin (talk) 18:18, 16 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
 Comment I am absolutely against perfection because it kill artistic pictures. However, I Will not a beginner's and important error pass becasue the Featured Pictures are the best pictures of commons. Somebody asked me a question and I answered. This error is perfectly correctable in one click with lightroom or photoshop and with some more in gimp. I do not understand how something so easy to fix can be this problematic. This error that you consider negligible, would not have passed the requirements of image quality (see image quality section in commons). If we allow this kind of easy corrected mistakes to pass, we should rethink about this section requirements. This section should use the requirements of quality images (and more), but now is being considered a section with lower requirements. I doubt that this would have happened in QIC. --The Photographer (talk) 18:33, 16 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
You are making a "beginner's error" in thinking the amount of CA on that candle is in any way important. And this sort of fussing is harmful. Software tools can't guarantee to remove all CA and certainly not all kinds of CA and they do so by altering the image, which can be harmful to colour accuracy elsewhere in the picture. And such CA can only be fixed by the creator who has access to the source uncropped image and ideally the RAW file. Attempting to fix CA by editing a JPG or a cropped JPG may actually do much more harm than good. By all means point out minor flaws as a suggestion, but withholding support on the level of issue you annotated is rude and ignorant. -- Colin (talk) 18:57, 16 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • ✓ Done red CA removal at serviette. Hope satisfied now, did it at 400%. I should say in start - photo is at full crop, no downsizing and hiding like some could or would do. Pixel peeping (among PD) is often done by hardcore begginers but its more domain on dpreview fanatics, but with time it come to normal behaviour. Judge with tolerance full sized photo, be harsh on downsized one. Have a margin for compact camera owner, and other for full frame owner. That would be my advice. --Mile (talk) 18:42, 16 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done Every CA still there. I added another note, you can see strong chromatic aberration. I really love this image, If you wan, I could try fix it, send me a mail. --The Photographer (talk) 19:19, 16 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
 Comment I make so bold. I uploaded a version with chromatic aberration fixed, if you dont like this version, you could simply revert --The Photographer (talk) 22:19, 16 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Your version was based on an old upload so I've reverted it. Mile had already uploaded an improved version (with other quality improvements overall such as to background and stacking). His version doesn't eliminate the CA entirely but the worst bits are now much reduced. -- Colin (talk) 14:38, 17 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

 Comment I am sorry, IMHO I preffer another objects like super nova or god hands. I am not expert in this topic, but I know what is PIA14712, maybe this image has a hight EV and it is important but the image only show a big grey rock. --Wilfredo R. Rodríguez H. (talk) 16:48, 22 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
It only show a big grey rock because Vesta is a grey rock but although it is a big asteroid it is a small solar system body. May be you will find the wow in the fact that previously to the DAWN mission, this was the best image we had from Vesta so although it is known to exist for more than 2 centuries we finally could see it in detail. Last but not the least, "wow" is of course a very subjective criterion but IMHO is hard to be wowed by a Nebula when there are already 29+5 of them in FP and no dwarf planet, asteroid or even Neptune and Uranus. --G Furtado (talk) 00:20, 23 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I love the photos from NASA, this image has a great story, however, IMHO does not have enough interesting visible elements in color, composition, shape and use of space . Sorry --Wilfredo R. Rodríguez H. (talk) 03:23, 26 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it was a joke based in this for my friends in real life but I forget upload the right version. I hope this is not misinterpreted. I have always been against photo retouching, especially something so obvious. I am sorry, right version is up now. --Wilfredo R. Rodríguez H. (talk) 12:27, 21 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    •  Question That's actually a good question. I sincerely apologize if I'm wrong, but the bull does in fact appear somewhat fake. How come there's a torero and a bull (both surprisingly sharp btw) in action while the arena is still being serviced by staff? --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 05:33, 21 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Sofia kyrka (church). Södermalm, Stockholm.
I think I know what ArildV wanted to show with the image. All that matters is the church, not the ambiance. ArionEstar (talk) from Google Translate. 14:00, 29 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment I've been away from the commons few days. The problem with this almost 80 meters high church is that it is built on a small plateau on the top of a steep hill in a park with tall, old trees. It has been discussed before in FP (see also link to an aerial photo). So either I have to do like the image below or use an even more extreme wide angle (photo taken with 24mm on full-frame camera). Unfortunately I do not have access to any such objective, and it would require even more perspective correction.--ArildV (talk) 14:49, 29 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Comment Inded it's an other image, but of the same subject, from the same author, with the same material, from the same point, with the same regulations, with the same light (2 minutes of difference between the both), with the same edition, the only difference is 116 mm and 82 mm. I don't want the both promoted, one is enough. I so consider them as versions similar enough to be considered as reasonably alternatives. --Christian Ferrer (talk) 05:54, 27 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Indeed, this is "another image"... So you have three active nominations for the moment, my friend...--Jebulon (talk) 12:44, 27 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Only two can be promoted it is thus only two nominations, I find its rather similar to be considered as alternative and I do not intend to withdraw --Christian Ferrer (talk) 15:56, 27 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose per Jebulon. Either nominate each individually or accept that only one can be promoted. For future reference, if I get the sense images are being uploaded just to wear down resistance I will oppose both. Saffron Blaze (talk) 04:15, 30 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Saffron Blaze No problem, I understand, but I uploaded absolute whole lot of my images on Commons, but the lack of time makes that I cannot publish them quite at the same time. I did it this time because it seemed to me relevant because of the first comment. I believed to read in this page this sentence : "Happy judging… and remember... all rules can be broken". Specially in certain cases or the images are very, very similar. Here it is as a crop but for the better, there is no loss of resolution. --Christian Ferrer (talk) 06:06, 30 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

BMW Museum und BMW Headquarters "Vierzylinder"
Honi soit qui mal y pense
@Taxiarchos228: Where exactly do you spot a "strong visible blurry area on the upper left corner (BMW museum)"? If that references to the turbulences caused by the the hot air coming from the chimneys beneath: That's physics and therefore unavoidable. Besides this blurriness isn't an mistake but a picture of reality, its only slightly visible at 100% and doesn't even touch the picture's main subject. --Martin Kraft (talk) 12:48, 24 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Even if you are right because of the blurry area, this is not the main reason for my voting. We have here a boring and ordinary view, nothing special and nothing featureable for me. Please be polite and don't assume me personal stuff, otherwise you'll be mentioned at AN/U. --Wladyslaw (talk) 20:05, 24 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
The real "main reason" for your voting is so obvious – I don't have to comment on that ;) --Martin Kraft (talk) 21:34, 24 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
If you have nothing factual it's indeed better not to comment any more. --Wladyslaw (talk) 19:14, 26 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@Pava: Hm, as far as I can tell, the Vierzylinder-Skyscraper is exactly in the focus plane?! Where do you see something off-focus?
And besides I am not shure, wether its worthwhile to extend a chrisp clear focus to the foreground trees, the only possibility to do so, might be focus stacking – The first tree is less then 1/3 the distance between me an the building ;) --Martin Kraft (talk) 11:08, 25 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
see note (after delete it)--Pava (talk) 15:30, 25 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@Pava: I seriously can't identify any off-focus at the BMW-Sign???
As mentioned above, the focal blur of the trees in the foreground is intended an technically almost unavoidable. --Martin Kraft (talk) 17:30, 25 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I just answered your question, you asked me to be tax and I have been there. Then, in short, is the most obvious point of the building, which is not out of focus a cloud --Pava (talk) 22:11, 27 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@Pava: My intension is really not to argue – I'm just trying to understand, what you mean. And, to be honest, I still don't get it.
On my screen the skyscraper ist perfectly sharp. Maybe your browser zoom is activated and you are evaluating the image at more than 100%?! Btw. which "cloud"? --Martin Kraft (talk) 22:42, 27 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I do not see that logo out of focus, if other users see it on fire then I will not know how to read a photograph, but it seems to me clearly out of focus. It is a very important detail of the building, is not, for example, a cloud or other object irrelevant. But apart from this there is the whole band of trees that disturbs a lot to me.--Pava (talk) 23:11, 28 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@Pava: By now I'm in doubt wether we are talking about the same picture?! This is a 100% crop of the logo region from the picture above. That's sharper than many other pictures on this page at 100%. Besides the denoising this IMO is all the focus sharpness one could expect from a more than 10 year old standard telezoom lens at 140mm?! --Martin Kraft (talk) 10:28, 29 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

wait for other opinions is useless to discuss endlessly--Pava (talk) 23:48, 29 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
