* Comment Wcamp9, redirecting the file link to the uncropped version seems to have broken the nomination. I believe the right way to do this is to offer the uncropped version as an Alternative. --Julesvernex2 (talk) 18:37, 15 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Link is restored. The uncropped version can still be added to this nomination as an Alternative. I've taken the liberty to do so since Wcamp9 is new to FPC and doesn't know how the nom system works (you can't go about changing the code in the nom, unless you know exactly what you're doing).

+ Question to the native English speakers: what does "Alternate route up Pen y Fan What 3 words failed.driveway.informed" mean, in the description? -- Basile Morin (talk) 02:09, 15 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
 Comment The green flair looks like sunlight from the right to me.--Famberhorst (talk) 05:21, 15 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
A green flare with this definition (#5) in my view. A section with green branches instead of gray all around -- Basile Morin (talk) 05:53, 15 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, I agree with Basile that the lens flare is a technical fault. Personally it doesn't bother me too much so I will leave this nomination open until further votes/opinions. However, I am from the UK so perhaps I am a bit biased/overly sensitive to the mood in this photo. Cmao20 (talk) 12:52, 15 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The composition is excellent. Just the technical flaws bother me (green spot, narrow depth of field with blurred foreground, and lack of sharpness at the left). Maybe also too much clarity -- Basile Morin (talk) 22:32, 15 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Support --Paracel63 (talk) 05:40, 16 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Weak support Light and atmosphere are wonderful, and IMHO the flares are not very irritating. (There is also a restrained red flare at the left. However the unequal distribution of sharpness seems a bit astonishing, I can’t explain this at ƒ/7.1 and an 18 mm lens on an APS-C sensor. It’s OK that the foreground is out of focus, but only the cottage and a relatively small part of the wall at the right are really sharp, while the trees at the left and right are already a bit soft … maybe a bad [copy of the] lens?) – Aristeas (talk) 18:39, 16 December 2024 (UTC)  Oppose I am very sorry because I 100% agree that this is a very beautiful photo with great composition, light and atmosphere. But now, only at the 3rd glance, I see that there is something like a “cutting line” near the right border (see image note), showing that this photo is a montage – that would be fine, but the line is so coarse that the montage was done inadequately. E.g. it seems that the rightmost sheep was just duplicated (it appears two times there), and the same is true for a fence post, some branches, etc. This spoils the image for me, sorry. – Aristeas (talk) 18:46, 16 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 I withdraw my nomination Well noticed. Yes, it's unfortunately a little clumsily done and I think that stops it from being FP. Let's try something else. Cmao20 (talk) 18:59, 16 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Northern lights over Mývatn (Iceland)
@Giles Laurent: You have cleaned up the technical denoising issue and it is now a quality image. I would certainly be happy if it were mine. However, IMHO, it still doesn't have the wow of others in the FP gallery. Now that you are intrigued by the aurora borealis, this might prompt travel back to Iceland's Ring Road, Northern Canada or Norway to look for more. The aurora appears like mysterious magic across the sky. --GRDN711 (talk) 01:38, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Taking a picture of the aurora is not something that you do by simply going to a place and taking a picture. You need the right conditions which you have no power at. The aurora don't happen constantly and you need one to be happening. You also need good weather, which is something extremely rare in Iceland. I spent 2 weeks in the winter period there and there was 100% cloud coverage 98% of the time. And with clouds in front of it, there's nothing to be seen. That night was the only night that I got to see an aurora. I also know a few people that went in search of auroras in other countries like Canada or Norway and that ended up seeing nothing. -- Giles Laurent (talk) 08:18, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

SHORT DESCRIPTION
  • You may consider it's important for you to enjoy your own pictures (and so much the better!), but it's not important for the collective evaluation. The goal is not to award the FP label to all photographers who like so much their own photos, otherwise we would promote the worst works that have exceptional sentimental value. The goal is to promote the photos that consensually satisfy a majority -- Basile Morin (talk) 01:41, 18 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Understandable - not all photos have to get FP. Honestly, nothing will happen to me in life if the picture doesn't get FP :)
I've been following this thing here for a while now and sometimes I don't understand what these assessments are based on. Emotion?
In the case of a microscope photo, I still recommend looking for reference material to understand what level these photos are in the world. It's a very complex genre and some photos that seem bad to the viewer can turn out to be quite good if you compare the tests with similar photos :D Janeklass (talk) 03:22, 18 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ardea cinerea - Grey heron - in a pond of Busan Citizens Park with blue sky in Busan city South Korea
  • Thank you very much, SHB2000, for your feedback. The background is not spectacular but I find the contrast between natural environment and skyscrapers uncommon compared to what we usually see here. The fact that the park is populated by large birds in total freedom is a local specificity that I find astonishing. As for sharpness, I did my best to optimize it according to the scene including a living being, but perhaps F/13 instead of F/11 would have increased the depth of field. The weather was beautiful that day, and it's a photo I like because it combines two contradictory ideas: nature and urbanization. Like a balance between the two. Landscape connected to megacity, or urbanization with a breath of fresh air in its heart -- Basile Morin (talk) 09:50, 10 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Dusk autumn scenery near castle in Pidhirtsi, Ukraine.
The problem with drone pictures taken in low light is that they are not stabilized like a tripod. It's possible that this lack of quality impacted the result when enhancing the colors afterwards in post-treatment -- Basile Morin (talk) 02:45, 12 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Aztec Sandstone
In what way are they very similar? Different outcrop, the locations are a few km apart, which is evident from the geotags. --The Cosmonaut (talk) 20:25, 12 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
 Info There might be a mistake in the date, supposed to be the same as in the metadata exif ("1 March 2012" vs "20 February 2012"). Note that Sahara desert also looks similar on long distances. Those two picture of rocks look pretty identical on several aspects: subject, sky, light. But the other one is better. The patterns are not spectacular here, in my view -- Basile Morin (talk) 00:47, 13 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Date corrected, was a mistake indeed. Regarding the rock appearance, one could also say that all the paddies look similar 🤷‍♂️ --The Cosmonaut (talk) 03:17, 13 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
We could. You can. The important thing is to create diverse images, sometimes even with the same subjects. Thanks for the correction -- Basile Morin (talk) 06:10, 13 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
