• • • I considered changing my vote -- it is a beautiful photograph. If what you are saying about not manipulating the contrast (the background seems quite blue...) and other color things is true, I am thinking more about it being an evolution of the species. The paler borages -- the strong of these colors does not make them any less beautiful; I don't think that this plant will ever get the occasional pink flower, for instance. A QI whose time has not come yet? I have strong feelings about this species; they are the flavor that is closest to cucumber that I will willingly consume; yet the color often indicates the taste. -- carol 06:14, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

    • You need a good mask to blur the background, and this one clearly shows its seams. Also, gaussian blur is not that good at replicating out-of-focus blur; from what I understand, Photoshop and the GIMP have decent lens blur functions. And besides, the main problem is not the amount of blur in the background, but the fact that it is lighter than the statue and draws the eye away from it. That said, I don't think that it is a major problem in the picture. Thegreenj 21:36, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

  • The same happens with galleries. The only difference between a gallery and a category is that category cannot be moved, but redirection is possibly a more human friendly solution to that. BTW, this is commons where they are gallery not 'article'. Commons is for image storage. Like a library. Gallery are like the ends of the shelves and category are like the shelves. In a library, both are used (and I usually find what I am looking for on the shelves....) It is an extremely complicated idea that both can be used, one day perhaps all human brains can expand and grow enough to comprehend such functionality capabilites. I am not going to hold my breath while waiting for this though. -- carol 02:07, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
    • Actually, what Ikiwaner has described is a limitation (or the psychological profile) of a gallery maker. I can give evidence of a gallery maker who removes categories -- I would not be able to provide evidence of a category maker removing images from galleries nor from removing galleries. I would further suggest that part of the psychologicial profile of such a person is the need for attention andthat is how such children are perceived in the elementary schools here, often motivated by jealousy or the feeling of insignificance. I do not like psychology though, especially among adults. The fact that both can (and perhaps should) exist is a fact and reflects real life models of similar collections. -- carol 02:24, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

  • That particular DIN is not in the list of standards; I observed the nomination processes here for several months -- I determined for myself not to just use photographic terms without understanding them as there were some exceptional photographers involved. Colloquially, I find it extremely difficult to call this image a 'macro' when there are photographs of subjects that can barely be measured in millimeters being represented in good focus at digital sizes of thousands of pixels. Emotionally I want to oppose the image due to the review; I am not going to do that for all of the right reasons. Comically (with exaggeration to make a point) I supported an image of a huge building elsewhere suggesting that the image was going to be setting a new standard that reflects current activity; much of that is implied and might not be obvious. Personally that DIN thing means nothing to me; groups of self-appointed authority have a long history (since mankind could form little groups of authorities, even) of not keeping up with technology. -- carol 00:36, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

•  Oppose I really like the concept of the photo: the contrast between light/dark is neat. However, the light side a lot of artefacts in the sky and the overexposure of the building is a bit on the high side. You might be able to pull off a little photo-trickery by taking two separate photos -- one photo set for unlit conditions and the other set to account for the lamp -- then stitching them together across the diagonal (unless that's already what was done... I'm not quite sure if this is a single photo or if it's already a composition). --Thisisbossi 02:56, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

                  • There has lately been an advertisement on the television here for a computer game called Scholarship in which the hallways of a school are filled with mid-pubescent bullies. It would be nice to have the feeling that the television here and the wiki are unrelated; I wait patiently for that. It is interesting how people write here 'No ownership' when they do not want their edits reverted. Interesting and boring and only fun for some. I dug out an image that wasn't nominated anywhere and found where a well-known photographer around here had called me a well-deserved 'Psycho' in the process of looking for that image.

•  Comment The red channel is significantly overexposed, which makes the red of the petals (visible in the shade) shift to orange (in full sunlight). This is nearly impossible to fix through editing. You might try to reduce the exposure in such circumstances, or better, if possible wait for better light (e.g. softer light at dawn or dusk). --Stefan Vladuck 14:00, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
•  Comment For what it's worth, it actually is an orange flower; not red. --Thisisbossi 19:32, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
  • "Red" and "orange" are obviously not precise terms. What I meant to say is that the colour is "washed out" in the sunlit parts. In technical terms, the hue is shifted due to clipping of the red channel. If you look at the image with a suitable software, you will see that there are large areas where the red channel has the maximum value, which is a clear indicator of overexosure. --Stefan Vladuck 10:14, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
•  Oppose No proper identification. Lycaon 08:22, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

  • Your support as the nominator is implied. Thegreenj 00:41, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
•  Support it's small, but very good - Pudelek 21:22, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
•  Support cropping is good so it's better to keep this size. --B.navez 14:51, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
•  Oppose 1.7 MP (2 megapixels is normally the lower limit, but for 'easy to take' images, reviewers may demand more.) --Nevit 16:35, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
•  Support Contra: Size is small, Prop motion is frozen. Pros: Superb lighting (even light underneath wing), sharpness and color good, dramatic smoky background which makes it special. Worth 1 exception to 2MP rule if this is possible.--Matl 20:44, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
•  Support I think it's good, some extra sky would put it over the size without adding anything. Dori 21:31, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

Bookshelf Prunksaal OeNB Vienna AT matl00786ch

• Nomination Bookshelf w. historic books, National Library, Vienna --Matl 20:06, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
• Promotion
•  Oppose The quality is OK but I think the stairs in the foreground ruins the composition. A subjective issue, of course. Please feel free to move it to CR -- Alvesgaspar 19:35, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
•  Comment OK, I did. In my subjective view, the ladder/stair saves the picture from looking too flat, it adds a foreground and a crossing element to the composition. It also hints to the big library "above" the bookshelf. --Matl 21:12, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
•  Support I agree with Matl about the ladder. I also like the fact that we can see the bottom of the spines of the books in the upper row. Arria Belli | parlami 15:50, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
•  Oppose for all the reasons mentioned by Arria Belli -- CarolSpears 23:32, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

  •  Support Still beautiful! Chmehl 07:26, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
•  Oppose though I like the image and think its meets QI technical requirements I have a concern about the license until such time as its clarified the image should remain at CR. source has a clear statement of copyright All images are copyrighted by Steve Estvanik. Except for these links, you may NOT copy any of these images unless you pay for a download. as with all image sourced from the net the source must clearly provide a free license for the image or the author needs to email permissions-commons@wikimedia.org with a confirmation of the licensing. Gnangarra 14:44, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
•  Comment sorry for the confusion, but i AM the copyright holder for the image. the website listed is NOT the source for this image. http://pix-now.com however, IS also my site and i own the copyright for everything there. i uploaded a different version here and declared the licensing as directed. how can i avoid this problem in the future? Cascoly 20:30, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Seems to be just a misunderstanding, the license looks good. The website states your username (you could link to your commons userpage from your website to make it absolutely clear). --Dschwen 21:07, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
•  Support identity confirmed via OTRS (ticket #2008032410017391) Gnangarra 01:38, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
•  Support Is this a crop of an image or a stitch of multiple images? If the latter, is is possible to upload a higher resolution? It's good as it is, but I suspect you might have something even better available (just a guess). --Thisisbossi 04:24, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
