Alla on tämänhetkiset ehdokkaat suositelluiksi kuviksi. Huomaa, että tämä ei ole sama asia kuin päivän kuva.

Ehdottaminen[edit]

Ohjeita ehdottajille[edit]

Lue läpi Commons:Image guidelines ennen kuvan ehdottamista.

Alla on yhteenveto siitä, mitä tulee tarkastella arvioidessa kuvan sopivuutta suositelluksi kuvaksi:

  • Resoluutio – Yleensä kuvat, joiden resoluutio on alle kaksi megapikseliä, on hylätty. Alle kahden megapikselin kuva voidaan hyväksyä vain poikkeustapauksessa. Huomaa, että kuvassa, jonka resoluutio on 1 600 × 1 200, on noin 1,92 megapikseliä, joten se on kelvoton.
Commonsissa sijaitsevia kuvia voidaan käyttää muuhunkin kuin tietokoneen näytöllä katselemiseen. Niitä voidaan tulostaa tai katsella suurella resoluutiolla olevilla monitoreilla. Emme voi ennustaa, millaisia laitteistot tulevat olemaan tulevaisuudessa, joten kuvan tulee olla niin suurella resoluutiolla kuin mahdollista.
  • Fokus – kuvan tärkeimpien kohteiden tulisi olla teräviä.
  • Edusta ja tausta – edustalla ja taustalla olevat asiat voivat olla häiritseviä. Tarkista, että edustalla olevat kohteet eivät peitä mitään kuvan kannalta tärkeää ja taustalla olevat kohteet eivät pilaa asetelmaa, esimerkiksi katuvalo ei näytä tulevan jonkun päästä.
  • Tekninen korkealaatuisuus – suositellun kuvan tulee olla teknisesti korkealaatuinen.
  • Digitaaliset manipulaatiot eivät saa vetää nenästä kuvan katsojaa. Kuvassa olevien kauneusvirheiden korjaaminen on sallittua, jos korjaus on tehty hyvin ja sen tarkoituksena ei ole vääristää kuvaa. Hyväksyttäjä manipulaatioita ovat rajaus, perspektiivin oikaisu, terävöittäminen, sumentaminen ja valotuksen sekä värien korjailu. Monimutkaisemmat manipulaatiot ovat sallittuja vain, jos mallinetta {{Retouched picture}} käytetään kuvaussivulla. Kuvauksettomat tai väärin kuvatut monimutkaiset manipulaatiot ovat kiellettyjä.
  • Arvo – päätavoitteenamme on erottaa arvokkaimmat kuvat muista. Suositellun kuvan tulee olla jotenkin erikoinen.
    • Auringonlaskuista otetut valokuvat ovat kaikki vähän samanlaisia (Valokuvia)(Suomessa otettuja valokuvia)
    • Yökuvat saattavat olla hienompia, mutta päiväkuvista ilmenee yleensä enemmän tietoa
    • Kaunis ei ole sama asia kuin arvokas

Teknisiä yksityiskohtia käsitellään kohdissa valotus, asetelma, liikkeenhallinta ja terävyysalue.

  • Valotus – valotuksella tarkoitetaan valokuvauksessa kameran filmiin tallentuvaa tai digitaalikamerassa valoherkän kennon tallentamaa valon määrää. Valotuksen tulisi olla sopiva. Laajat ylivalottuneet alueet ovat usein häiritseviä.
  • Asetelma – asetelmalla tarkoitetaan kuvan esineiden sijoittumista toisiinsa nähden. ”Kolmoissääntö” (esimerkkikuva) on hyvä nyrkkisääntö siitä, millainen on hyvä asetelma. Kolmoissäännön ideana on, että kuva jaetaan kahdella pystyviivalla ja kahdella vaakaviivalla yhdeksään osaan (3×3). Pääaiheen sijoittaminen tiukasti kuvan keskelle on yleensä huonompi vaihtoehto mielenkiintoisuuden kannalta kuin pääaiheen sijoittaminen johonkin neljästä viivojen muodostamasta risteyksestä. Horisonttia ei tulisi sijoittaa kuvan keskelle, vaan jommankumman viivan keskelle. Kolmoissäännön avulla saadaan luotua dynaaminen kuva.
  • Liikkeenhallinta – liikkeenhallinnalla tarkoitetaan sitä, miten liike näkyy kuvassa. Liike voi olla terävää tai epätarkkaa. Jompikumpi aina ei ole paras vaihtoehto, vaan tärkeintä on aikomus havainnollistaa jotain. Liike on suhteellista kuvan kohteisiin verrattuna. Esimerkiksi valokuva ralliautosta, joka näyttäisi olevan paikallaan taustaa vasten, on huonompi vaihtoehto kuin valokuva ralliautosta, joka näkyy terävästi, mutta jonka tausta on sumuista, koska tällöin liikkeen huomaa helposti. Tätä kutsutaan ”panoroinniksi”. Toisaalta valokuva hyppäävästä koripallon pelaajasta, joka näyttää olevan paikallaan taustaa vasten, on hyvä sen epäluonnollisuuden takia.
  • Terävyysalue – terävyysalueella tarkoitetaan kuvan kohteen terävyyttä ympäristöön verrattuna. Terävyysalue valitaan jokaisen kuvan kohdalla erikseen. Suuri tai pieni terävyysalue voi huonontaa tai parantaa kuvan laatua. Pientä terävyysaluetta voidaan käyttää erottamaan pääkohde muusta ympäristöstä. Näin katsojan huomio kiinnittyy haluttuun kohteeseen. Suurta terävyysaluetta voidaan taas käyttää tilan havainnollistamiseen. Lähtökohtaisesti syväterävyysalue muodostuu sitä lyhyemmäksi, mitä suurempaa aukkoarvoa valokuvaaja käyttää. Vastaavasti pientä aukkoarvoa käytettäessä syväterävyysalue voi ulottua kuvan etualalta äärettömään. Aukon arvon lisäksi syväterävyysalueeseen vaikuttaa kuitenkin myös objektiivin todellinen polttoväli ja toisaalta kohteen etäisyys kuvaajasta.

Alla käsitellään vielä grafiikkaa.

  • Terävyys – pääkohteiden ääriviivojen on oltava teräviä.
  • Kolmiulotteisuus – kolmiulotteisuuden on oltava laadukasta. Parhaiten tämä onnistuu siten, että valo tulee kohteen sivulta. Yleensä kuvaajasta päin tuleva valo ei onnistu luomaan kunnollista kolmiulotteista vaikutelmaa, vaan se johtaa litteään vaikutelmaan. Paras valo ulkona on aamulla tai illalla.
  • Värit – värit eivät saa olla liian kylläisiä.
  • Tekstuuri – kohteen pinnan on oltava kolmiulotteisen näköinen ja laadukas.
  • Perspektiivi – kuvan tulee olla kolmiulotteinen.
  • Tasapaino – kuvan kohteiden tulisi olla tasapainossa keskenään. Suurta määrää kohteita ei tulisi jommallakummalla puolella.
  • Mittasuhde – mittasuhteella tarkoitetaan kuvan kohteiden kokoa toisiinsa verrattuna. Yleensä meillä taipumus esittää pienet kohteet pieninä, mutta toisaalta pienen kohteen esittäminen suurena luonnossa suurta kohdetta vasten on myös hyvä tekniikka, esimerkiksi kukan esittäminen vuorta vasten.
  • Symbolinen tarkoitus – huono kuva vaikeasta aiheesta on parempi kuin hyvä kuva helposta aiheesta.
Valokuvaaja ja/tai sen katselija voivat tarkastella kuvan kohdetta puolueellisesti. Kuvan arvoa ei tulisi arvioida arvioijan kulttuurillisen taustan perusteella, vaan se tulisi arvioida kuvan kulttuurillisen taustan perusteella. Hyvä kuva ”puhuu” katsojalle herättäen sellaisia tunteita kuin ilo, sympatia, herkkyys, suru, inho, viha ja raivo. Hyvän kuvan herättämät tunteet eivät ole vain positiivisia.

Käytäntö[edit]

Yleiset säännöt[edit]

  1. Äänestys on auki tasan yhdeksän vuorokautta ehdotuksen tekemisen jälkeen.
  2. Käyttäjätunnuksettomat käyttäjät saavat ehdottaa ja keskustella, mutta eivät äänestää.
  3. Ehdotus ei ole ääni. Ääni on annettava erikseen.
  4. Ehdottaja voi vetää ehdotuksen pois lisäämällä {{withdraw|~~~~}} äänestyssivulle.
  5. Wikimedia Commons ei ole vain Wikipedian kuvavarasto, joten kuvia ei tule arvioida vain Wikipediaan soveltuvuuden perusteella.
  6. Jos kuva ei saa muita kannattavia ääniä kuin ehdottajan viiden vuorokauden kuluessa ehdotuksen tekemisestä, poistoäänestys tulee lopettaa.
  7. Mallineella {{FPX}} merkitty poistoäänestys tulee lopettaa 24 tunnin kuluttua mallineen lisäämisestä, jos muita kannatusääniä kuin ehdottajan ei ole.

Statuksen muutos[edit]

Kuvasta tulee suositeltu kuva, jos se täyttää seuraavat vaatimukset:

  1. Kuvaussivulla on hyväksytty ja totuudenmukainen tekijänoikeusmalline
  2. Vähintään viisi kannatusääntä
  3. Vähintään kaksi kolmasosaa äänistä kannattavia
  4. Saman kuvan eri versiosta vain yksi saa olla suositeltu kuva. Siitä kuvasta, joka on kerännyt eniten kannattavia ääniä, tulee suositeltu kuva.

Statuksen poistoehdotuksen kohdalla sovelletaan samoja sääntöjä. Jos statuksen poistoa kannattavia ääniä ei ole tullut ehdottajan äänen lisäksi viiden vuorokauden kuluessa ehdotuksen teosta, äänestys tulee sulkea.

Ohjeita äänestyksen lopettamisesta on sivulla Commons:Featured picture candidates/What to do after voting is finished.

Arvostele hyvien tapojen mukaisesti[edit]

Muista, että kuva jota kommentoit on jonkun tekemä. Älä käytä sellaista tyyliä kommenteissasi kuin ”Vihaan kuvaa”, ”Kuva on ihan ruma” tai ”Kamala kuva”.

  •  Oppose The overexposure was clear in this photo, an attempt was made to reduce it by lowering the lighting until the white was transformed into gray. And no wow for the composition --Wilfredor (talk) 06:31, 17 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  •  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]

Also the composition seems to try to place the sea and the houses, but neither of them seems like a main subject, the houses look cut off and the sea too. The contrast and low exposure make this colorful scene look like a Gothic city. --Wilfredor (talk) 06:34, 17 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

  •  Answer The explanation is given in the {{Retouched}} template, in the file page : The camera and its tripod reflected in the mirrors have been deleted in post-process. To achieve this purpose, two pictures have been taken from different positions, targeting the same direction.

  •  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? Kritzolina (talk) 13:02, 18 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  •  Oppose I hadn't bothered looking at this in detail, but I agree with Wilfredo. Charlesjsharp (talk) 10:40, 17 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
  •  Oppose Per Wilfredor. -- Karelj (talk) 21:06, 17 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.

  •  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]

  •  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.

  •  Oppose The open doors make me uncomfortable, especially the one on the right that seems more prominent, but what makes me feel negative is the trash can under the sink cabinet, it seems to be in an inappropriate place and without an apparent function, it makes me uncomfortable. --Wilfredor (talk) 06:38, 17 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]

  •  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. 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.
