Políticas e normas sobre candidatas a imaxes destacadas[edit]

Regras xerais[edit]

  1. After the end of the voting period the result will be determined on day 15 after nomination (shown in the time-table below). So the voting period is two weeks (plus the hours until the end of day 14). Votes added on day 15 or after are not counted.
  2. Nominations by anonymous contributors are welcome
  3. Contributions to discussion by anonymous contributors are welcome
  4. Votes by anonymous contributors aren't counted
  5. Nominations do not count as votes. Support must be explicitly stated.
  6. Nominators can withdraw their nominated pictures at any time. This is done by simply writing "I withdraw my nomination".
  7. Remember, the goal of the Wikimedia Commons project is to provide a central repository for free images to be used by all Wikimedia projects, including possible future projects. This is not simply a depository for Wikipedia images, so images should not be judged here on their suitability for that project.
  8. Pictures can be taken from the list if they have no support (not counting the nominator's) on day number 7 (day of nomination + 7).

Featured picture delisting candidates[edit]

Over time, featured picture standards change. It may be decided that for some pictures which were formerly "good enough", this is no longer the case. This is for listing an image which you believe no longer deserves to be a featured picture. These require 2/3 majority (and a minimum of 5 votes) agreeing to delist from featured pictures. If there is not 2/3 agreeing to delist it, it stays as a featured picture. For these, vote {{Keep}}  Keep (it deserves to be a featured picture) or {{Delist}}  Delist (it doesn't deserve to be a featured picture). Please provide a link to the original FP nomination (it will appear under "Links" on the image description page). Otherwise the same rules as above apply. Please use this link to add a new removal candidate.

Guidelines for nominators[edit]

Below you can find some informal rules picture should match:

  • Resolution - graphics located on Commons may be used not only for viewing them on a screen. They may be also used for printing or for viewing on very high resolution monitors. We can't predict what devices would be used in the future neither, so it is important that pictures being nominated have a resolution as high as possible. A resolution of at least 2 million pixel (e.g. 2000 x 1000) seems reasonable right now.
  • Focus - every important object on the picture should be sharp.
  • Foreground and background - foreground and background objects may be pretty distracting. You should check if something in front of the subject doesn't hide some important elements and if something in background doesn't spoil the composition (for example if the streetlight doesn't "stand" on someone's head).
  • General quality - pictures being nominated should have good technical quality.
  • Value - our main goal is to feature most valuable pictures from all others. Pictures should be in some way special, so please be aware that:
    • almost all sunsets are pretty, and most of such pictures are not different in the essence from others,
    • nightshots are pretty but normally more details can be shown on pictures taken at daytime,
    • beautiful does not always mean valuable.

Not every rule has to be matched, e.g. a picture may have a low resolution, because higher resolution photos cannot be taken (subject may be dead), or the event is not going to occur again.

Guidelines for Evaluating Photographs[edit]

There are several criteria for evaluating images.

On the technical side, we have exposure, composition, movement control and depth of field.

Exposure refers to the shutter diaphragm combination that renders an image with a tonal curve that ideally is able to represent in acceptable detail shadows and highlights within the image. This is called latitude. Images can be on the low side of the tonal curve (low range), the middle (middle range) or high side (upper range). Digital cameras (or images) have a narrower latitude than film. Lack of shadow detail is not necessarily a negative characteristic. In fact, it can be part of the desired effect. Burned highlights in large areas are a distracting element.

Composition refers to the arrangement of the elements within the image. The “Rule of Thirds” is a good guideline for composition and is an inheritance from the painting school. The idea is to divide the image with two imaginary horizontal and two vertical lines, thus dividing the image into thirds horizontally and vertically. Centering the subject is almost always considered a negative practice. Subjects of interest are placed in one of the “interest points”, where horizontal and vertical lines intersect (4 interest points are created). Horizons are never places in the middle, for they “cut” the image in half. They are placed either in the upper or lower horizontal line. Main idea here is NOT to center subject.

Movement control refers to the manner in which motion is represented in the image. Motion can be frozen or blurred. Neither one is better over the other. It is the intention of representation. Movement is relative within the objects of the image. For example, photographing a race car that appears frozen in relation to the background does not give us a sense of speed or motion, so technique dictates to represent the car in a frozen manner but with a blurred background, thus creating the sense of motion, this is called "panning". On the other hand, representing a basketball player in a high jump frozen in relation to everything else, due to the “unnatural” nature of the pose would be a good photograph.

Depth of field (DOF) refers to the area in focus in front of and beyond main subject. Depth of field is chosen according to the specific needs of every picture. Large or small DOF can either way add or subtract to the quality of the image. Low depth of field can be used to bring attention to the main subject, separating it from the general environment. High depth of field can be used to emphasize space. Short focal length lenses (wide angles) yield large DOF, and viceversa, long focal lenses (telephotos) have shallow DOF. Small apertures yield large DOF and conversely, large apertures yield shallow DOF.

On the graphic elements we have shape, volume, color, texture, perspective, balance, proportion, etc.

Shape refers to the contour of the main subjects.

Volume refers to the three dimensional quality of the object. This is accomplished using side light. Contrary to general belief, front lighting is not the best light. It tends to flatten subject. Best light of day is early morning or late afternoon.

Color is important. Over saturated colours are not good.

Texture refers to the quality of the surface of the subject. It is enhanced by side lighting… it is the “feel” to the touch….

Perspective refers to the “angle” accompanied by lines that disappear into a vanishing point that may or may not be inside the image.

Balance refers to the arrangement of subjects within the image that can either give equal weight or appear to be heavier on one side.

Proportion refers to the relation of size of objects in picture. Generally, we tend to represent small objects small in relation to others, but a good technique is to represent small objects large contrary to natural size relationship. For example, a small flower is given preponderance over a large mountain…. This is called inversion of scales.

Not all elements must be present. Some photographs can be judged on individual characteristics, that is, an image can be about color or texture, or color AND texture, etc.

Symbolic meaning or relevance…. Well, this is where opinion wars start…. A bad picture of a very difficult subject is a better picture than a good picture of an ordinary subject. A good picture of a difficult subject is an extraordinary photograph.

Images can be culturally biased by the photograher and/or the observer. The meaning of the image should be judged according to the cultural context of the image, not by the cultural context of the observer. An image “speaks” to people, and it has the capacity to evoke emotion such as tenderness, rage, rejection, hapiness, sadness, etc. Good photographs are not limited to evoking pleasant sensations….

Above all, Be polite[edit]

Please don't forget that the image you are judging is somebody's work. Avoid using phrases like "it looks terrible" and "I hate it". If you must oppose, please do so with consideration. Also remember that your command of English might not be the same as someone elses. Choose your words with care.

Happy judging… and remember.... all rules can be broken

  •  Oppose Bright part of the image wasn't handled very well and the processing treatment has left strange artifacts around the window frame. Maybe a blue sky or an interesting cloud would be better than a rainy grey day? Out of interest, what was the symbolism supposed to be here? BigDom (talk) 15:02, 17 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  •  Oppose Perhaps not the best angle for this. When faced with a very bright opening, it's often better to go for the things that the light illuminates and let the bright window be implied. So many cool angles and lines in the scene that could be used for that. Making the light grey doesn't help either. --Cart (talk) 22:10, 17 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

  •  Support Fascinating, I wouldn't have imagined you could get this effect without using bellows or a tilt-shift lens! Do you mind letting me know if I got your method right: 1) you took two images, both centred on the mirror, one with the camera in the middle of the room, one with the camera slightly shifted (to the left, judging by the slight offset in the reflection?); 2) you used the first image for the room and the second one for the reflection? --Julesvernex2 (talk) 11:42, 16 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  • Thanks! Yes, exactly, you got everything right, except for the slight offset in the reflection, which is probably caused by imperfect alignment of the mirrors opposite each other, rather than by camera shift. The second image is used just to compensate for the small area where the camera appears through the mirror. This involves “filling” this part with the (hidden) furniture or sink. The offset of the contour of the door or the wooden table opposite is not impacted.-- Basile Morin (talk) 12:11, 16 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  • Ah, I had wrongly assumed that the camera was completely off the reflection on the second image (probably not even possible, given the wide focal length), but I get it now. Nice, I need to try this out :) --Julesvernex2 (talk) 12:30, 16 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

    Sorry, but I don't get your point about the trash can. This is where you find trash cans in hotel rooms usually - if I am looking for one in a hotel room, I look under the sink first. This is where most people need it - be it for tissues, for packaging of hygenic items, or other stuff. Why do you think it is an inappropriate place?

  • ArionStar: I'm surprised about this nom. If the highlight in your eyes here is the grouper, then it is too small, detail is rather low (if that's what you are looking for, a good candidate of the same genus could be this one :) ), if the highlight in your eyes is the whole thing (grouper + environment), then it's also tricky because the red sponges are not really sharp and the whole composition is not appealing. Poco a poco (talk) 15:41, 13 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
    I like the composition; it's a classic example of marine/underwater camouflage. 15:53, 13 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

  •  Comment Thank you for your reviews. I understand that one of the three elephants beeing half in the frame can be disturbing for some of you at first glance. However the focus is more on the baby elephant that is at the center of the frame and that is surounded by his family, the two others elephants protecting the baby from both sides like guardians. Also the mother can be seen uncropped behind the two others. As for the vegetation, two elephants are simply walking over it and are still very visible above it. The vegetation also provides a sense of depth to the picture. --Giles Laurent (talk) 11:09, 18 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I thought about doing that too but the image would look very elongated like those phone images. Also leaving the tree in the foreground shows the distance and that there are more trees around.

  •  Support Fascinating, I wouldn't have imagined you could get this effect without using bellows or a tilt-shift lens! Do you mind letting me know if I got your method right: 1) you took two images, both centred on the mirror, one with the camera in the middle of the room, one with the camera slightly shifted (to the left, judging by the slight offset in the reflection?); 2) you used the first image for the room and the second one for the reflection? --Julesvernex2 (talk) 11:42, 16 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  • Thanks! Yes, exactly, you got everything right, except for the slight offset in the reflection, which is probably caused by imperfect alignment of the mirrors opposite each other, rather than by camera shift. The second image is used just to compensate for the small area where the camera appears through the mirror. This involves “filling” this part with the (hidden) furniture or sink. The offset of the contour of the door or the wooden table opposite is not impacted.-- Basile Morin (talk) 12:11, 16 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  • Ah, I had wrongly assumed that the camera was completely off the reflection on the second image (probably not even possible, given the wide focal length), but I get it now. Nice, I need to try this out :) --Julesvernex2 (talk) 12:30, 16 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

    Sorry, but I don't get your point about the trash can. This is where you find trash cans in hotel rooms usually - if I am looking for one in a hotel room, I look under the sink first.

  • The stick is probably just a mishap from its recent rummaging around on the ground. These guys are notorious for disturbing soil as they look for things to eat. They are a big problem in Sweden since they get into peoples' gardens and tear them up. One family of these pigs can demolish a big lawn in just one night etc. --Cart (talk) 00:31, 15 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

  • ArionStar: I'm surprised about this nom. If the highlight in your eyes here is the grouper, then it is too small, detail is rather low (if that's what you are looking for, a good candidate of the same genus could be this one :) ), if the highlight in your eyes is the whole thing (grouper + environment), then it's also tricky because the red sponges are not really sharp and the whole composition is not appealing. Poco a poco (talk) 15:41, 13 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

It rather follows other predators to take advantage of prey escaping from them. And as said, quality and compo are not convincing to me. --Poco a poco (talk) 17:20, 18 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

  •  Comment Thank you for your reviews. I understand that one of the three elephants beeing half in the frame can be disturbing for some of you at first glance. However the focus is more on the baby elephant that is at the center of the frame and that is surounded by his family, the two others elephants protecting the baby from both sides like guardians. Also the mother can be seen uncropped behind the two others. As for the vegetation, two elephants are simply walking over it and are still very visible above it. The vegetation also provides a sense of depth to the picture. --Giles Laurent (talk) 11:09, 18 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

An improvement, but you went a bit too far. I move now to  Neutral. Personally I've cropped the bunch of tree on the right, but no big deal Poco a poco (talk) 10:07, 19 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I thought about doing that too but the image would look very elongated like those phone images. Also leaving the tree in the foreground shows the distance and that there are more trees around. It is difficult to please everyone, for some it is clear and for others it is too clear. Generally I do not apply any filters to my photos, only when they request it, as was your case.
