Oppose "At least the chin shouldn't be cropped" was a pretty fair judgment, in my opinion. It also seems that the flash fired, which creates an artificial harsh light. Maybe this nomination / renomination is more based on a sentimental affect, if this cat was a personal pet? That could bias the subjective emotional impact of the picture? -- Basile Morin (talk) 01:37, 30 August 2024 (UTC)

Kommentar Very nice, but I'd rather wait for a file with more resolution, it's too small. Poco a poco (talk) 18:50, 29 August 2024 (UTC)
Question I hate to ask this - but I think I botched it the last time I tried. If I upload another version of this image, how do I post it into the nomination? The last time I uploaded an image, it replaced the image nominated. I just want to follow the proper procedure. I have a 4488 x 2988 pixel version I can upload. Sadly, I cannot locate the original .PSD file or the Raw file. --Needsmoreritalin (talk) 02:13, 30 August 2024 (UTC)
Kommentar Thanks for the question, Needsmoreritalin. If the new image is significantly different from the existing one, then a new version should be uploaded and placed with the headline template
====Alternative====
below the first image and all comments of this nomination. For example:[[File:New version.jpg|480x320px]]
. However, if it is only slightly different and represents a qualitative improvement, you can update the existing photo with a new upload. It is a pity that the original raw is not available. -- Radomianin (talk) 05:40, 30 August 2024 (UTC)

- Unlike VI, each species does not need to have an FP. An FP is supposed to be one of the finest images in Commons. I look for something exceptional -- colours, posture, action, lighting, composition, etc along with high technical quality. I compare it to others in the FP gallery where it will be placed if promoted. See eg this image of a similar posture, f/8, etc -- much better sharpness throughout. Tagooty (talk) 14:39, 29 August 2024 (UTC)
- Not all birds live in tropical areas and therefore haven't beautiful colors, so they do not deserve to have FPs. El Golli Mohamed (talk) 19:41, 29 August 2024 (UTC)

Oppose I agree with Tagooty this bird is not the prettiest I've seen and detail is just ok. Even if we have no FPs of this bird and that's a relevant information of the nomination, it cannot be a reason of weight to make it FP. I have documented hundreds of species underwater and I find many of them not worthy for FP because they don't have any interesting features. Poco a poco (talk) 15:57, 29 August 2024 (UTC)

- @El Golli Mohamed, you need to stop revenge voting. Just because someone doesn't agree with one of your images becoming a featured picture does not mean you should revenge vote. They are only criticising the photograph, not the photographer. No one should expect all of their photos to become featured pictures. The community loves your photos, but some don't meet a certain standard. It's not worth being blocked for and losing a significant contributor of FPCs on Commons. This behaviour is unacceptable, and I strongly recommend you stop. Zzzs (talk) 00:11, 30 August 2024 (UTC)

Support Remembers me the "Three blind mice" in the James Bond film Dr. No --Llez (talk) 12:20, 29 August 2024 (UTC)
Kommentar Sorry, but there is a problem with the file description and naming. The painting is not the one attributed to Pieter Bruegel the Elder, that is located at the en:Museo di Capodimonte, at Naples. It's instead the one in Paris. So, it should be attributed to Pieter Brueghel the Younger, even though the Google Art project says something different. Besides, on the Louvre Museum website, the attribution to Pieter Brueghel the Younger is presented just as an old one. I did just correct the article on en.wiki: en:The Blind Leading the Blind. --Harlock81 (talk) 12:45, 29 August 2024 (UTC)
- Sorry, but how do you know this is a copy by Brueghel the Younger? I guess the Louvre is an authoritative reference. Yann (talk) 13:34, 29 August 2024 (UTC)
- For sure, this file does not reproduce the one painted by Pieter Bruegel the Elder. The Louvre says: "La parabole des aveugles, d'après Pieter I Brueghel", The Blind leading the Blind according to, not by, Pieter I Brueghel. Also, at the attribution: School of Pieter I Brueghel, etc. The museum does not say it was painted by Pieter Brueghel the Older. The attribution of the painting in the Google Art Project is wrong, and consequently here. So, description and naming are wrong, for sure. This file reproduce the painting to which this category refers: Category:Parable of the Blind by Pieter Brueghel the Younger. The attribution of the painting to Pieter Brueghel the Younger is presented as dated by the Louvre Museum. So, the name of the file and the name of the category should not refer to Pieter Brueghel the Younger, but to the School of Pieter Brueghel the Older. The author should be considered unknown. Finally, the oldest painting, attributed to Pieter Bruegel the Elder, is the one conserved in Naples. Consequently, this one is a copy, painted by some pupil of him. --Harlock81 (talk) 13:55, 29 August 2024 (UTC)
- Sure, it is a copy of the painting from Capodimonte, but attributing it to Brueghel the Younger is certainly wrong. Yann (talk) 14:01, 29 August 2024 (UTC)
- Sorry, but I don't understand your point. This picture reproduce the same painting to which this category refers, or not? I'm not saying that Brueghel the Younger is the author. It could be a way to distinguish two artworks that are similar: the one once attributed to Brueghel the Younger (and conserved in Paris), and the one painted by Bruegel the Elder (and conserved in Naples). For now, this file is in the wrong category, it is attributed to the wrong painter, and its title is misleading. --Harlock81 (talk) 14:19, 29 August 2024 (UTC)
- Images in Category:Parable of the Blind by Pieter Brueghel the Younger are of so poor quality that it is difficult to say. Anyway the attribution there may also be wrong, and we need external references, not self-references from Commons. For all we know, it may be a copy by Bruegel the Elder himself. Yann (talk) 14:41, 29 August 2024 (UTC)
- Ok, thanks for your answer. The artwork hanging in the Louvre Museum, that is the one reproduced here, is the one once attributed to Brueghel the Younger (this does not imply that Brueghel the Younger actually painted it). This category refers to the artwork (once, in my opinion) attributed to Brueghel the Younger. It seems logical to me the conclusion that the category refers to the painting hanging in the Louvre Museum. Instead, you are not excluding that there is another artwork of Brueghel the Younger to which the category may refer. I'm quite sure that is not the case, but ok, let's go on. --Harlock81 (talk) 15:32, 29 August 2024 (UTC)

Kommentar High level of detail but lead room missing in my view. Very tight crop at the right -- Basile Morin (talk) 01:12, 28 August 2024 (UTC)
- I'm taking as reference pictures uploaded on [1]https://www.planespotters.net/ or [2]https://www.jetphotos.com/ where pictures' crop are very tight. So it is very usual to have this kind of picture with narrow crop for aicraft. I totally understand that it can be considered a lack a lead room but in my view, the picture represents only the object itself, not really the fact that he is landing on a runway. If you think that the picture will be more interesting, I can enlarge the crop and change ratio from 2:3 to 16:9. If I keep original ratio, I will have airport fences at the bottom of the picture. Shougissime (talk) 18:31, 28 August 2024 (UTC)
Oppose Sorry, the crop is way too tight, and the overall image isn't compelling. An attractive sky or background, or dramatic lighting or angles are important for an FP of an airplane. I would crop fairly tightly behind the plane, but give it some room in front, the same way you've done for pictures of bicyclists. You don't need to crop to a particular ratio, do what's best for the image. I wouldn't use Jetphotos or Planespotters as guides for featured content on Commons.

Support Impressive building, nice composition and well-handled daytime light. The level of detail at full resolution is maybe slightly lacking but at most sizes it's pretty good. I've made a suggestion for cropping a little off the left and bottom to get rid of the cut-off window and help with the symmetry a bit, which I think could make this very good image even better.

Kommentar Dust spots virtually everywhere, should be fixed first. --A.Savin 23:22, 25 August 2024 (UTC)
- Are you sure it's the spots and not a natural part of the landscape? I don't see them on the water surface. JukoFF (talk) 10:47, 26 August 2024 (UTC)

Question Impressive image. However, the color is supposed to be turquoise, according to en:Maly Semyachik, and lake shore looks very weird to me (see note). Yann (talk) 16:39, 26 August 2024 (UTC)
Kommentar Good point, thanks for the research, Yann. Regarding the different coloration, I found the following information in the Russian language WP article: In the late 1960s and early 1970s, the color of the lake changed to turquoise, and in 2008 to azure gray. The coloration of the lake is caused by tiny sulfur particles floating in the water column and carried by underwater fumaroles. This information might help to explain this one point.

- Thanks for your review. Aperture F/10 and time 1 /250 s is the maximum combination I could get here, and only 100 mm focal length. Going closer would have scared the birds. Focus was of course intentional -- Basile Morin (talk) 01:24, 25 August 2024 (UTC)
Support I have told people about the corkscrew fallus, this image offers proof. As I understand it, the mallard's has barbs on it. It not a pretty picture, so to speak, but it documents something rarely observed, and the image brings into clear and sharp detail the evolution of a duck's fallus. --Needsmoreritalin (talk) 01:44, 24 August 2024 (UTC)
- Yes, having browsed through the categories, I noticed we have incredibly few images of this type, and even fewer quality images. I totally agree this one will never make a poster for a living room :-) But it's also original and perhaps more educational than a bunch of solitary ducks walking or swimming on a pond.

Support Pretty rare capture. The focused area is very sharp etc. The light is not thrilling, but it is favourable insofar as it avoids harsh shadows (which would obscure the, hem, private parts). And it’s unavoidable that the subjects look away. We have promoted misc. bird photos etc. of rather mediocre quality because of the rarity of the species; hence we should promote this rare scene, too. – Aristeas (talk) 13:31, 27 August 2024 (UTC)

Oppose Thank you for editing! The image was improved slightly. It has some more detail and proper EXIF data now. But the colour banding is still visible in the form a pixelated parts at the sky. Additionally it is cropped intensively from 21 megapixels down to 11.6 megapixels. So all in all I really love the scene with its composition and light, but technicaly this image might have trouble even becoming Quality Image so I can sadly not consider it FP.
