Consensual review

[edit]

File:Don_Quijote_de_la_Mancha._Teatro_Teresa_Carreño_3.jpg

[edit]

  • Nomination Don Quijote --The Photographer 16:47, 15 December 2013 (UTC)
  • Promotion  Oppose The half cut person on the left side should be cropped out. In consequence the main actors get centered. Noise level is ok. I am not sure about copyright stuff, but my review is explicitly about photographic quality. --Cccefalon 20:32, 16 December 2013 (UTC)
     Comment If you have questions regarding the copyright of this photo, please write to Laura Fiorucci, she is in charge of the decoration and scenery. thanks --The Photographer 18:08, 27 December 2013 (UTC)
     Support OK, though I'd personally prefer more noise and clarity rather than the blur we get instead. Mattbuck 12:52, 22 December 2013 (UTC)
  •  Support Per Mattbuck --Christian Ferrer 15:50, 24 December 2013 (UTC)

File:13-04-27_Groezrock_Crossfaith_Hiroki_Ikegawa_07.jpg

[edit]

  • Nomination Bassist Hiroki Ikegawa of japanesse Crossfaith at Groezrock 2013, Belgium --Achim Raschka 10:04, 15 December 2013 (UTC)
  • Decline
  •  Oppose Unfortunately the slanted incident of light is destroying the photo; it makes it look like a failure of the footage and attracts to much attention. Furthermore the noise level of the dark parts is too much and is bearing artefacts when watching in full resolution. Finally I complain the bad crop of the right hand. Not resolvable, sorry. --Cccefalon 14:52, 21 December 2013 (UTC)
    I disagree. With some careful noise reduction and somewhat tighter crop at teh top and the left side it's great. --Smial 10:16, 22 December 2013 (UTC)
     Not done Mattbuck 00:02, 28 December 2013 (UTC)

File:Tarragona,_Pont_del_Diable_--_2006_--_4.jpg

[edit]

  • Nomination Pont del Diable, Tarragona, Spain --XRay 07:35, 20 December 2013 (UTC)
  • Decline
  •  Oppose - Ruined due to the sky. Believe me, I know this problem of bright skies ruining nice pictures. The weather condidtions when I was in Camdobia were like this and it is imposible to have a well exposed picture with such a sky and areas in shadow, a shame --Poco a poco 11:55, 20 December 2013 (UTC)
  •  Support Pardon me but I checked the histogram and not a single pixel is burned out. Again, according to Image guidelines and the example, this photo is exposed well and according to me, a QI. --Urmas83 15:55, 20 December 2013 (UTC)
    Pardon me, but the histogram is only one half of the truth. I can "fix" the histogram of each picture, do you wanna bet?. This doesn't mean that the exposure is right. You can reduce the overexposed areas locally so that "technically" the tool will tell you that there is no overexpsoure, but in cases like this one that is not possible anymore, because, even in the case of a RAW, the pixel information is just gone, and the result is just moving from #FFFFFF (white) to something like #F2F2F2 (grey). Please, slow down and stop questioning my judgements. What you do is called wikihounding Poco a poco 18:20, 20 December 2013 (UTC)
  •  Oppose - sky is dodgy, but there is little to no fine detail. Just look at the trees on the left. Mattbuck 23:25, 27 December 2013 (UTC)

File:Museums_in_the_Vatican_City.jpg

[edit]

  • Nomination Museums in the Vatican City --Staselnik 00:53, 15 December 2013 (UTC)
  • Promotion
  •  Support Good quality and great annotations. --Stepro 01:43, 19 December 2013 (UTC)
  •  Oppose very interesting view, high documentation level, great annotations indeed, but the top half is unsharp IMO, + strange distortion/correction of the pinnacle at right bottom, and distractive elements (main cuppola?) at left bottom (composition). I'd be happy to read other opinions, please.--Jebulon 19:54, 20 December 2013 (UTC)
  •  Support acceptable for me --Christian Ferrer 20:08, 20 December 2013 (UTC)
  •  Oppose -- I have to agree with Jebulon because some parts of the picture are too blurry. Not only the top half but also the foreground. A shame, because this is a quite interesting view. -- Alvesgaspar 14:47, 21 December 2013 (UTC)
  •  Support I see Sharpness issues only at the edges. It's not disturbing in my opinion You could crop away from left and bottom a bit. But you have my support anyway. --Urmas83 20:36, 26 December 2013 (UTC)
  •  Support - seems ok to me. Mattbuck 23:23, 27 December 2013 (UTC)

File:Facade_of_Saint_Peter's_Basilica.jpg

  • Nomination Facade of Saint Peter's Basilica --Staselnik 15:02, 14 December 2013 (UTC)
  • Decline
  •  Support Good quality. --XRay 11:44, 20 December 2013 (UTC)
  •  Oppose barrel distortion, white parts of the sky are overexposed, strange composition (dome not visible), light not optimum. I ask for a discussion, please.--Jebulon 13:35, 20 December 2013 (UTC)
  •  Oppose -- Annoying geometric distortion, crop too tight, unsharp, poor lighting. -- Alvesgaspar 14:42, 21 December 2013 (UTC)

    ✓ Done Photo replaced by a new--Staselnik 22:17, 20 December 2013 (UTC)
  •  Oppose The greenish line across the sky is really disturbing. Plus, is there any special reason to keep a crop that is showing foliage in the upper right part of the photo? --Cccefalon 08:18, 26 December 2013 (UTC)

File:LighthouseKiipsaate.jpg

[edit]

  • Nomination Sunset at Kiipsaare lighthouse --Urmas83 13:21, 19 December 2013 (UTC)
  • Promotion  Support Väga hea, maybe even FP. --Iifar 13:57, 19 December 2013 (UTC)
     Comment very nice pic (agree to FP nomination), but I don't believe that the lighthouse is leaning in that way to the left. Please apply perspective correction. --P e z i 21:46, 19 December 2013 (UTC) Comment It is leaning indeed.You can google "kiipsaare lighthouse" and you will see. --Urmas83 07:36, 20 December 2013 (UTC)

  • Decline Good quality. --Stepro 01:36, 19 December 2013 (UTC)
     Oppose Unsharp in 100% view --P e z i 18:32, 19 December 2013 (UTC)

  •  Oppose -- The main subject looks out of focus to me -- Alvesgaspar 14:35, 21 December 2013 (UTC)

File:Vaade Toolse linnuse varemetele merelt.jpg

[edit]

  • Nomination Ruins of medieval Toolse stronghold --Urmas83 13:28, 18 December 2013 (UTC)
  • Promotion
  •  Oppose Blurry -- Alvesgaspar 23:51, 18 December 2013 (UTC)
  •  Comment don't think it's blurred, but it's tilted clockwise --P e z i 21:11, 19 December 2013 (UTC)
  •  CommentThere is actually nothing in this picture that you can rely on when talking about the possible tilt. The walls are leaning. You can even see the metal construction attached to walls at right that should prevent it from falling apart. The coastline is not even, it is closer at right and more distant at left. When I captured this picture, I leveled my camera with the help of tripod leveler and I trust on this.--Urmas83 10:26, 20 December 2013 (UTC)
  •  Support you are right, there's nothing to rely on for tilt; was just a feeling and therefore "comment" and not "oppose". --P e z i 10:47, 20 December 2013 (UTC)
  •  Question Is that sky for real? it looks odd to me. It goes from cyan to very dark Poco a poco 13:37, 22 December 2013 (UTC)
  •  Comment I agree with you, it looks odd. That's why I have nominated this photo. It is interesting, in my opinion. It is processed, to some degree. Weather conditions where interesting this moment. Few minutes after capturing this photo I turned my camera to the other direction and captured this photo. The last one is not processed.--Urmas Haljaste (talk) 21:59, 22 December 2013 (UTC)

[edit]

  • Nomination Azulejos in the exterior of the Igreja dos Terceiros. Braga, Portugal. Alvesgaspar 21:07, 17 December 2013 (UTC)
  • Decline
  •  OpposePerspective issues. Horizontal lines are not straight and vertical lines are also leaning. I encourage you to use higher ISO to get better exposure time. 1/80 is not the best when hand holding the camera. A little blurry and colors are disturbingly vibrant. --Urmas83 11:25, 19 December 2013 (UTC)
  • I ask for antother opinion. No significant geometric distortion that I see -- Alvesgaspar 12:37, 19 December 2013 (UTC)
  • weak  Support Slight barrel distortion, but not very disturbing. -- Smial 08:00, 20 December 2013 (UTC)

  • Nomination Ruins at Krk island in Croatia --Urmas83 18:15, 14 December 2013 (UTC)
  • Decline
  •  Oppose Insufficient quality. Noisy see and trunk of the tree, sorry. Is it HDR or lighting correction?) --Moroder 18:48, 17 December 2013 (UTC)
  •  Comment.Quality is sufficient enough. I don't see too much noise and the trunk looks pretty good!--Urmas83 22:48, 17 December 2013 (UTC)
  •  Oppose Per Moroder plus unnatural oversaturated colors. -- Alvesgaspar 14:48, 19 December 2013 (UTC)
  •  Support I cannot see much noise in the pic. Trees at the shore on the left are blurred but that does not impair overall quality too much. Bit of CA near the edges. There has obviously some tone mapping been applied (bright halo around wall edge in front of the sky). --Kreuzschnabel 18:30, 19 December 2013 (UTC)

  • Nomination Heiko Thomas, Berlin politician (Bündnis 90/Die Grünen) and member of the Abgeordnetenhaus of Berlin (as of 2013). --DerHexer 20:50, 15 December 2013 (UTC)
  • Decline

 Support Good quality. --P e z i 00:10, 16 December 2013 (UTC)
 Oppose The quality of the photo is ok, but I feel uneasy by the too tight crop at the top in relation to the wide space left and right. Could you try another crop or recover more space at the top? --Cccefalon 06:26, 16 December 2013 (UTC)

 Comment you are right. Crop should be changed --P e z i 09:33, 17 December 2013 (UTC)
In my humble opinion, I don't think that this disturbs in any way as nothing is cut off from the hair or even head. Furthermore, I like the position and shape better than in File:Heiko Thomas (Martin Rulsch) 2.jpg. Both are not cropped but original files, btw. Cheers, DerHexer 11:15, 20 December 2013 (UTC)
  •  Oppose I agree with the opposers. The present crop transmits a feeling of claustrophobia as if the ceiling was falling down on your head! I believe that a smart cloning solves the problem -- Alvesgaspar 14:21, 21 December 2013 (UTC)

    not comprehensible argument --Taxiarchos228 21:26, 15 December 2013 (UTC)
    Let me rephrase - the grilles at top and bottom are clearly not crisp (for some unknown reason, which I attributed to camera shake, or possibly due to automatic shake reduction software locking on to a moving subject). Mattbuck 21:32, 16 December 2013 (UTC)
  •  Oppose bad PoV and camera shake at the top and bottom. Camera shake would be not critical, but in combination with composition it makes this image not good enough, sorry. Possibly it was an attempt to take a photo with tracking of this moving subject, but then the motion blur is too short. --Shansov.net 03:35, 25 December 2013 (UTC)
  •  Oppose Sorry, nice view, but motion blur. -- Smial (talk)

    Famberhorst 07:41, 14 December 2013 (UTC) You can use the most powerful ordinarteur which you want and to spend so much time which you want, clouds burned and if the historigram says nothing it is because there is nothing of registered for zones concerned, all the details burned, it is exactly the problem. --Christian Ferrer 08:03, 14 December 2013 (UTC) There are many other photographers in this page, I said my opinion (clouds burned), maybe that somebody else will tell us his opinion --Christian Ferrer 08:10, 14 December 2013 (UTC)
  • Weak  Support. There is some clipping in small areas of the clouds. Maybe this is a second layer of clouds in front of or lower than the others?
