Commons:Kandidater till utvalda bilder

From Wikimedia Commons, the free media repository

Det här är kandidater till att bli utvalda bilder.

För ett arkiv av tidigare nominerade se: Commons:Featured picture candidates/Log

Det finns också en kronologisk lista av utvalda bilder.

Nominering

[edit]

Om du tror att du har funnit eller skapat en bild som kan anses värdefull, lägg till den här nedan i sektionen för nomineringar, högst upp i listan, med hjälp av den här länken (Hjälp). För det behöver du inte ha en inloggning, även anonyma användare får nominera.

Men innan du nominerar, kolla upp så att bilden har lämplig bildbeskrivning och licens.

Omröstningsregler

[edit]
  • Röstningen pågår i 9 dagar. På den 10:e dagen blir resultatet fastställt.
  • Om en bild efter 5 dagar inte fått någon mer positiv röst än från den som nominerade, så kan kandidaten tas bort ifrån sidan.
  • Nomineringar ifrån oinloggade bidragsgivare är välkomna
  • Bidrag ifrån oinloggade bidragsgivare till diskussionen är välkomna
  • Röstning från oinloggade bidragsgivare räknas inte
  • En nominering räknas inte som en röst, men den som nominerar får rösta
  • Den som nominerar en bild kan när som helst ta bort bilden ifrån omröstningen

En kandidat kommer att bli en utvald bild om följande krav uppfylls:

  • Lämplig licens (så klart)
  • Minst 7 stödjande röster
  • Förhållande mellan stödjande/motsättande röster på minst 2/1 (minst två tredjedels majoritet)
  • Två olika versioner av samma bild kan inte båda bli utvalda; endast den med högst antal stödjande röster blir utvald.

Röstning kan göras med "{{Support}}" (stöd) eller "{{Oppose}}" (ej stöd), neutralitet kan anges med "{{Neutral}}".

Ta bort utvald-status ifrån bilder

[edit]

Efterhand kan standarden för utvalda bilder ändras. Bilder som tidigare var tillräckligt bra, kanske inte längre anses vara det. Här listas bilder som du tycker inte längre förtjänar att vara utvalda bilder. Då behövs 2/3 majoritet (och minst 7 röster) som håller med om att ta bort utvald-statusen ifrån bilden. Om inte 2/3 av de röstande håller med om att ta bort den, så är bilden fortsatt utvald. Här röstar man med {{Keep}} (bilden förtjänar att kvarstå som utvald) or {{Delist}} (bilden förtjänar inte att kvarstå som utvald). När du nominerar en bild här, ta med länken till den ursprungliga utvald-bild-nomineringen (den finns under Länkar på bildens beskrivningssida. Använd den här länken för att lägga till en borttags-kandidat.

Shrimp and crayfish boat LL-25 MiTina turning into her home harbor in Norra Grundsund, Lysekil Municipality, Sweden.
Standing on the jetty taking photos, I noticed the boat was approaching the harbor a bit faster than I thought it might, also taking the turn into the harbor a bit sharper than it should throwing up a good bow wave and backwash. After it had moored I jokingly commented on this to the captain. He said that he saw me on the jetty with my camera and was showing off to give me a good photo. :) After editing the photo, I sent a copy of it to the boat's internet page and gave them the rights to use it as they pleased. I figured, "one good turn deserves another". They still use this photo on social media and other things. :) All by me, -- Cart (talk) 21:46, 5 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    @Cmao20, those artifacts can be fairly easily removed using this program, assuming you have reasonably up-to-date hardware (I don't). The images are too large for my usual methods. JayCubby (talk) 22:40, 3 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose I don't believe that this is a valid set either, there are a bunch of these relics but here we see "only" 14. Apart from the quality I see very similar items without any explanation what do they have in common. A skull and bones belonging to it could be a set, but with no explanation and this quality I cannot support 14 FPs Poco a poco (talk) 17:04, 4 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose I agree with Poco here. The information on each file is the bare minimum, even after I added the basics to each file. If there is an article about the items, it's best to link to it in the file description on each page, posting it here serves no purpose since this page will be archived in a week and in effect hidden from public view. The images are not so different from each other or eye-catching that a set is needed, complete or incomplete. It would be better to pick the best skull of the best photo quality, or skull and bones, to represent the group. --Cart (talk) 11:43, 5 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Mamie Till at Emmett Till's funeral
  • @JayCubby - I did remove my vote as I ponder this a bit more. I experimented with cropping the photo and found it to be much more evocative, though found it difficult to get it "just right". I tried the crop on the left to just enough to remove nearest gentleman's face, leaving the full expression of the other man; and, a crop from the right to remove the sliver of the person next to the woman with her arm raised. But, per Cart, I'm wary of advocating for that change. - ERcheck (talk) 05:39, 3 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Support --Kritzolina (talk) 05:44, 5 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support Been thinking about this for a long time now, and it is a very moving photo of very good quality taken at what must have been a rather chaotic event. It's a document of an historic event that I think should be preserved and featured in its entirety, after that people can use it as a base for other crops. Sure, we featured Heroico instead of the original, but that was mostly because the cropped version is the best one known and mostly used. I don't see any similar precedence with this. --Cart (talk) 12:03, 5 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
     Comment - The above version is itself cropped. On EmmettTillExhibit.org, which was created in partnership with the Till family, The Emmett Till & Mamie Till-Mobley Institute, the Emmett Till Interpretive Center, and The Children's Museum of Indianapolis, see Image 16. In that "original" photo, Till's grandfather is also in the photo. As such, if one accepts a crop from the right, accepting a crop from the left (which is actually not taking out key people), would seem acceptable. - ERcheck (talk) 15:30, 5 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Now the problem with that is that the full photo, probably from the original negative, is apparently owned some foundation or museum, so we are not sure that one is free to use and can probably not get our hands on it. The cropped photo above on the other hand, is from a paper copy owned by the Smithsonian and we know it is free. This is why so few old iconic photos get promoted. There are often many versions of them floating around and people here are forever quarrelling about which version to promote. (I can't remember how many attempts were made for different versions of Heroico for years.) I still say I vote to promote the whole photo we have and know is free, and let other crops be made from it, instead of mucking things up further. --Cart (talk) 17:04, 5 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    I full-heartedly agree with Cart here! Kritzolina (talk) 17:46, 5 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Charlesjsharp, just a general point, because I don't think the official rules on categories are all that clear and I have struggled with them in the past too - Cart and Aristeas did a great explanation of categories here. In short, ask yourself questions based on Kipling's honest serving men. In the example of this nomination, I see that you had the 'what' and 'where' covered, though you could have been more specific with the 'where', but you missed the 'when' (Cart has now covered that with adding 'Nature of Vienna in August') and you also had an opportunity to categorise based on the animal's specific behaviour (eating hazelnuts), i.e. not just 'what is it' but 'what is it doing'. Cmao20 (talk) 00:36, 5 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • "if he doesn't do it, why should I do it..."
"if he doesn't do it, then I shall do this..."
Dear Lord, it sounds like we are dealing with a bunch of six year old boys here!
A.Savin, while I understand your frustration, keeping an 'oppose' on such grounds is just petty and it won't change Charles' behavior one bit. Let me offer an alternative solution. If Charles, despite being a veteran nominator here and being told and corrected over and over again, still doesn't fulfill the basics of presenting a complete file in the noms, that can be seen as negligence, disrupting the workflow here and causing undue friction on the site. Constantly relying on others to do the work for you and pointing fingers instead, could be grounds for a block. As we know, blocks aren't punitive, but if we are looking at a future where FPC voters repeatedly have to save Charles from himself, that is bleak indeed. It is dangerously close to what got ArionStar blocked from this site. 'Pinging' Cmao20 too, as they are part of the discussion. --Cart (talk) 11:09, 5 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Comment I may risk being uncharitable here but I struggle to understand how this picture, which is almost completely lacking in detail at full size, gets rave reviews from you whereas my nomination gets an oppose vote for 'lack of detail'. Cmao20 (talk) 00:03, 2 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support Kingfishers are great subjects. Acroterion (talk) 12:41, 1 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    The comments below are valid criticisms, thank you for highlighting them. They should also be curable to enhance the image to FP expectations both technically and aesthetically. ROCKY, is it possible to induce the uploader to upload a less-aggressively-processed version? They appear to have been active in March. Acroterion (talk) 17:06, 1 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose A beautiful and difficult shot, regrettably ruined by excessive sharpening and noise reduction --Julesvernex2 (talk) 14:39, 1 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Weak oppose Sadly, I have to agree with Julesvernex2. It's unfortunate that excessive sharpening and denoising have resulted in a washed-out and overly uniform look – many details appear lost. With more careful post-processing, especially when using AI-based tools, significantly better results are possible. Perhaps the nominator could kindly ask the author via e-mail whether a new development from the Raw file might be feasible? Best, -- Radomianin (talk) 15:14, 1 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Weak oppose per Jules and Radomianin, so sorry. It always makes me sad when I see that people have great skills and make every effort to achieve wonderful photos, but then damage these images by rash post-processing so that they look like smartphone shots. This is such a stunning photo, it has deserved much better post-processing. Nerd hint: the pattern in some of the OOF drops of water at the top may be caused by the Phase Fresnel (PF) lens element; this is an additional reason why this photo needs careful editing – one should not emphasize that pattern by sharpening.– Aristeas (talk) 16:26, 1 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Ah, good point! This review warns about the risk of getting "Fresnel bokeh" on specular highlights, indeed one more reason to be careful when editing this image Julesvernex2 (talk) 10:02, 2 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • The writing on the two cars, the stone ballast in front of the train are not clear. The trees appear as smudges. Given the 23 MP res and 1/1600 shutter, I expect better better detail. Perhaps the camera was set to medium or low jpg quality? Or while saving in post-processing? An FP should be printable at the highest res without need for downsampling. --Tagooty (talk) 03:24, 31 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • I strongly disagree with the idea that an FP should be printable at the highest res without need for downsampling. Ultimately this is just punishing creators for uploading high resolution files. A 23 megapixel image that is slightly blurry at full size but sharp when downsampled to 10 megapixels is superior to a completely sharp 10 megapixel image in every way. Anyway, I take your criticisms, but we've recently promoted far less sharp images than this. Cmao20 (talk) 10:59, 31 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Oppose Hi Osmo, and welcome to FPC. This is a very beautiful view, and I would love to see a photo of this archipelago as FP. Unfortunately an iPhone can almost never provide enough detail and image quality for this, especially for such panoramic photos. The best way to get acquainted with what quality is good enough is to first nominate your photos at COM:QIC. That way you are guided into the process in a more gentle way and get feedback for your photos. Best, --Cart (talk) 16:42, 28 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Hey! Thank you for your kind response. Is the quality an actual issue here? The quality is very good and in the same level as any other photos of panoramic views (in my opinion of course). I think that you might have gotten this idea from your personal opinion of photography with phones? Or is it general consensus-driven "rule of thumb" that pictures can't be featured if they have been taken with a phone? Sorry I'm not trying to be an AH, I'm genuinely confused. --Osmo Lundell hey 00:46, 29 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    All images are evaluated at 100% magnification. The standards for quality for FPs is very high, it's only lately that some phones aided by good editing programs have been able to compete here. Take a look at some of the other nominations here with a lot of support. Open them up full and you'll see the difference. Also see my comment below about images from phones. It's usually something of a shock for people who are used to phone photos, how much more image quality is required here. This is because FPs are expected to hold quality enough to have partial images extracted from it if necessary, or to be printed in large format. Also none of us here go by just our own experiences with phone photos. Many of us have been reviewing photos here for years, thousands of photos each year, so we have seen all sorts of photos from all sorts of cameras. Sometimes a photo from a cheap compact camera can outshine a photo taken by an insanely expensive Hasselblad or a shot that NASA spent millions to get. It all depends on how good a photographer and editor you are. --Cart (talk) 01:32, 29 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose Sadly I would not say the quality is 'very good'. It is good for a phone camera but I fear this will not cut it at FPC. The detail at full size is not really there - zoom in to pixel level size and look how little sharpness and definition there is on anything - compare to the nominations on this page right now that have a lot of support and the difference is clear. Nevertheless I think the motif is great and I really like the composition. But I don't think it can be FP. Cmao20 (talk) 02:08, 29 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment Osmo dont let to kill mans ambition for photo. I think smartphones are good enough today to made more than good shot. We already have many FP, even from cheaper phones. With some edit, and horizon is rotated. I would go normal "non-binned" 12 Mpx. --Mile (talk) 18:40, 28 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Mile, I know you mean well and hopefully you won't take this the wrong way, but sometimes your English is a little hard to understand. Can you please explain the first and last sentences in your post here, I don't understand what you are saying and I really want to since you know so much about photography. I'm always ready to listen to your advice. --Cart (talk) 18:54, 28 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Cart, phones can provide good quality and FP can be made with them, but often edition is needed. Don't we have Category "Made with Smartphone" yet ? We should if it doesnt exist. --Mile (talk) 20:30, 28 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Yes I know that it has happened in some cases (like this or this where not much detail is needed, both made in good light, while this nom is trying a very-hard-to-do light situation), but it's still much harder to get the detail and sharpness needed for FPs with a phone, and like you say some editing is usually needed. We don't rank FPs by the camera they were made with, that is beside the point, only the end-result matters. Some motifs are easier to capture well with a phone, and panoramas are among the hardest. I don't dismiss phone photos in general, I always examine them carefully and sometimes I'm surprised by how good they are, but this one is too blotchy for me. It looks like there is a strong wind, and all that motion makes it even harder for the phone to perform well. Take a look at these two images, both taken by me with the same phone, both edited as well as I could with the same Photoshop version, and notice the difference between the windy one and the one taken on a calm day. I could almost be thinking about nominating the "calm" photo, but people here would think I was nuts if I tried the "windy" one. --Cart (talk) 20:57, 28 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose The concept of the image is nice, and the composition through the aperture of the tower is cool. But when viewed at full resolution, the pixels are blotchy. The image isn't sharp, especially the grasses, but even the wood of the tower. --Needsmoreritalin (talk) 20:12, 28 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    I think my color correction export might have f'd the result. I'm willing to just up the RAW file, but Commons doesn't support it I guess? Thanks for your comment and for kind words too! --Osmo Lundell hey 00:48, 29 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment It absolutely is possible to get FPs from smartphones, (this picture I took, for example), but this image really lacks the required sharpness. Also, my picture was taken on the iPhone's RawMAX settings, which produces large raw images with more detail captured than with usual that can be edited in post-proccessing. It might be worth trying if available.--UnpetitproleX (Talk) 14:51, 29 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    No one is saying it isn't possible to get FPs from phones, we have several examples of that (about 0.08% of all FPs are) , just that it's much harder than with larger sensor cameras. --Cart (talk) 14:57, 29 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    I know that, Cart, of course. I was responding to Osmo Lundell and others who may be under the impression that the oppose votes are due to it being a phone picture. The quality just isn't there in this image. There's also perspective issues I think. UnpetitproleX (Talk) 21:09, 29 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Hey, I also think it’s not the sharpest out there definetly, but the quality smd sharpness of the individual birch leaves is not the point of the image, and the quality/sharpness is in align with other panoramif photos, for example the ones Cart gave as an example above. Additionally I responded directly to Carts comment, because indeed it was his opinion which I mistook for a general guideline. But the consensus seems clear already and I respect the community and this conversation as always. I’ll return with a different nomination soon! --Osmo Lundell hey 21:38, 29 May 2025 (UTC) quick typo fix! --Osmo Lundell hey 21:40, 29 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    The photos I linked to was not examples of what quality we expect from FPs, far from it! They were only meant to illustrate how wind can affect a phone photos quality, not something I would consider nominate here. Also we all express our individual view on photos, unless a guideline is explicitly quoted.
    You can wait this nom out, or if you wish, you can withdraw it by posting the {{Withdraw}} tag on it. Looking forward to other photos. I'm always happy to see work by other Nordic photographers as there aren't many of us here on FPC. ;) --Cart (talk) 23:13, 29 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    I'll wait this nom out, the conversation might still keep rolling! PS. Du har rätt, Nordics unite! Fattade kopplingen först när jag slängde ett öga på din användarsida, kul! Kanske ses vi på nästa års Mello eller på nån wikimeetup om du dyker upp där! Också min point var att precis som i de där panoramorna, är hela bildens kontext det viktiga här, inte själva zoomandet. But enough of that :D --Osmo Lundell hey 12:06, 30 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support In my opinion, the composition is the whole point of the photo, you would not crop this photo and it looks good enough at full size  REAL 💬 ⬆   00:05, 30 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
