Formalien[edit]
Nominierung[edit]
Leitsätze für die Nominierung[edit]
Bitte lies alle Leitsätze (Englisch) vor der Nominierung.
Dies ist eine Zusammenfassung von Kriterien, auf die du bei der Einreichung und Bewertung von Exzellenz-Kandidaten achten solltest:
- Auflösung – Fotografien mit einer Auflösung unter 2 Millionen Pixel werden in der Regel abgelehnt, außer unter „stark mildernden Umständen“. Beachte, dass ein 1600 x 1200 großes Foto 1,92 Megapixel hat und damit weniger als 2 Millionen.
- Grafiken auf Commons können auch in anderen Weisen als zur Anzeige auf einen herkömmlichen Computerbildschirm verwendet werden. Sie können auch als Ausdruck oder zur Anzeige auf hochauflösenden Bildschirmen verwendet werden. Man kann nicht vorhersagen, welche Geräte in Zukunft Anwendung finden, deshalb ist es wichtig, dass die nominierten Bilder die höchstmögliche Auflösung haben.
- Eingescannte Bilder – solange es keine offizielle Richtlinie gibt, findet man unter Help:Scannen für verschiedene Typen von Bildern Hinweise für die Vorbereitung, die hilfreich sein können.
- Fokus – jedes wichtige Objekt im Bild sollte normalerweise scharf sein.
- Vordergrund und Hintergrund – Objekte im Vorder- und Hintergrund können stören. Kontrolliere, ob etwas vor dem Motiv des Bildes wichtige Elemente verdeckt. Auch soll nichts im Hintergrund die Komposition verderben, zum Beispiel eine Straßenlampe, die über dem Kopf einer abgebildeten Person „steht“.
- Allgemeine Qualität – nominierte Bilder sollten von hoher technischer Qualität sein.
- Digitale Manipulationen betrügen nicht in jedem Fall den Betrachter. Digitale Nachbearbeitungen, um Fehler von Fotografien zu korrigieren, sind allgemein akzeptiert, vorausgesetzt, sie sind begrenzt und gut gemacht, ohne dabei betrügen zu wollen. Akzeptiert werden normalerweise Beschneiden, perspektivische Korrekturen, Schärfen und Verwischen sowie Farb- und Belichtungskorrekturen. Umfangreichere Korrekturen wie das Entfernen von störenden Hintergrundobjekten sollten in der Bildbeschreibung mit Hilfe der Vorlage {{Retouched picture}} klar beschrieben werden. Nicht oder falsch beschriebenen Manipulationen, die dazu führen, dass das Hauptmotiv falsch dargestellt wird, sind unter keinen Umständen akzeptabel.
- Wert – unser Hauptziel ist das Hervorheben der wertvollsten Bilder von allen anderen. Bilder sollten irgendwie etwas Besonderes sein. Darum sei dir bewusst, dass:
- nahezu jeder Sonnenuntergang ästhetisch ansprechend ist und die meisten keinen wesentlichen Unterschied aufweisen zu anderen,
- Nachtaufnahmen hübsch sind, aber dass man normalerweise mit Aufnahmen bei Tag mehr Details zeigen kann,
- schön nicht immer wertvoll bedeuten muss.
Auf der fachlichen Seite gibt es die Belichtung, die Komposition, die Bewegungskontrolle und die Fokustiefe zu beachten.
- Belichtung bezieht sich auf die Verschluss-Blende-Kombination, die ein Bild mit einer Tonkurve wiedergibt. Idealerweise bildet diese Tonkurve in akzeptabler Genauigkeit Schatten- und Spitzlichtbereiche im Bild ab. Dies nennt man „Belichtungsspielraum“. Bilder können im niedrigen Teil der Tonkurve (unterer Bereich), im mittleren (mittlerer Bereich) oder hohen Teil (oberer Bereich) liegen. Digitale Kameras (oder Bilder) haben einen engeren Belichtungsspielraum als Fotofilme. Fehlende Genauigkeit im Schattenbereich ist nicht unbedingt ein Nachteil. Tatsächlich kann dies ein gewünschter Effekt sein. Eingebrannte Spitzenlichter sind dagegen ein störendes Element.
- Komposition bezieht sich auf die Anordnung der Elemente im Bild selbst. Die „Drittel-Regel“ ist ein guter Grundsatz für die Komposition und ein Erbe der Gemäldemalerei. Die Idee ist, das Bild mit jeweils zwei horizontalen und zwei vertikalen Linien zu teilen. Dadurch wird das Bild in horizontale und vertikale Drittel geteilt. Das Motiv im Zentrum des Bildes zu platzieren, ist oft weniger interessant, als es auf einem der vier Schnittpunkte der horizontalen und vertikalen Schnittlinien zu platzieren. Der Horizont sollte eigentlich niemals in der Mitte des Bildes liegen, wo er das Bild in zwei Hälften „teilt“. Die obere oder untere horizontale Linie ist oft eine gute Wahl. Der Hauptgedanke ist, den Raum zu nutzen, um ein dynamisches Bild zu schaffen.
- Bewegungskontrolle bezieht sich auf die Weise, wie die Bewegung im Bild abgebildet wird. Die Bewegung kann stillstehend oder verschwommen sein. Weder das eine noch das andere ist besser; es kommt auf den Zweck der Aufnahme an. Bewegung ist relativ innerhalb der Objekte des Bildes. Zum Beispiel vermittelt uns das Fotografieren eines relativ zum Hintergrund stillstehenden Rennwagens kein Gefühl für das Tempo oder die Bewegung. Also zwingt uns die Fototechnik, das Motiv stillstehend vor verschwommenem Hintergrund abzubilden, wodurch ein Gefühl für die Bewegung entsteht. Dies nennt man „Schwenken“. Andererseits kann eine Aufnahme eines im Vergleich zur Umgebung stillstehenden Basketballspielers während eines hohen Sprunges das „Unnatürliche“ der Natur dieser Pose sichtbar machen.
- Fokustiefe (DOF – Depth Of Field) bezieht sich auf den Fokusbereich vor und hinter dem Hauptmotiv. Die Fokustiefe wird abhängig von den spezifischen Erfordernissen jedes Bildes gewählt. Große oder kleine Fokustiefe kann auf die eine oder andere Weise die Qualität der Aufnahme vergrößern oder schmälern. Geringe Fokustiefe kann die Aufmerksamkeit auf das Hauptmotiv des Bildes lenken, das Hauptmotiv erscheint dadurch von seiner Umgebung gelöst. Hohe Fokustiefe bringt Abstände zwischen Motiven zur Geltung. Objektive mit kurzer Brennweite (Weitwinkel) ergeben eine hohe Fokustiefe, umgekehrt haben Objektive mit langer Brennweite (Teleobjektive) eine flache Fokustiefe. Kleine Blendenöffnungen bringen große Fokustiefe, und umgekehrt große Blendenöffnungen bringen flache Fokustiefen.
Bei den grafischen Elementen gibt es Form, Volumen, Farbe, Struktur, Perspektive, Balance, Proportion, usw.
- Form bezieht sich auf den Umriss des Hauptmotivs.
- Volumen bezieht sich die dreidimensionale Qualität des Motivs. Diese wird durch Seitenlicht herausgebildet. Im Gegenteil zum allgemeinen Glauben ist Frontbeleuchtung nicht die beste Wahl. Frontbeleuchtung lässt das Motiv abflachen. Das beste Tageslicht hat man am frühen Morgen oder nachmittags.
- Farbe ist wichtig. Übersättigte Farben sind nicht gut.
- Struktur bezieht sich auf die Oberflächenqualität des Motivs. Diese wird durch Seitenbeleuchtung verbessert.
- Perspektive bezieht sich auf den „Grad“ zusammen mit Linien, die in einen Fluchtpunkt innerhalb oder außerhalb des Bildes enden.
- Balance bezieht sich auf die Anordnung der Motive innerhalb des Bildes, die entweder das scheinbar gleiche Gewicht haben oder schwerer auf einer Seite erscheinen.
- Proportion bezieht sich auf die Größenunterschiede der Objekte im Bild. Normalerweise tendieren wir dazu, kleine Gegenstände klein im Vergleich zu anderen darzustellen. Eine gute Methode kann aber sein, kleine Objekte groß im Gegensatz zu wirklichen Größenverhältnissen abzubilden. Zum Beispiel: Eine kleine Blume überwiegt gegenüber einem großen Berg. Dies nennt man Maßstabsinversion.
- Nicht alle Elemente müssen berücksichtigt werden. Einige Fotografien können anhand individueller Eigenschaften beurteilt werden. Für ein Bild kann die Farbe oder die Struktur wichtig sein, oder Farbe und Strukur, usw.
- Symbolische Aussage oder Relevanz…. Der Meinungskrieg kann hier beginnen…. Ein schlechtes Bild von einem sehr schwierigen Motiv ist ein besseres Bild als ein gutes Bild von einem gewöhnlichen Motiv. Ein gutes Bild von einem schwierigen Motiv ist ein außergewöhnliches Foto.
- Bilder können kulturell beeinflusst sein durch den Fotografen und/oder den Betrachter. Die Bedeutung des Bildes sollte vor dem kulturellen Hintergrund des Bildes beurteilt werden, nicht durch den kulturellen Hintergrund des Betrachters. Ein Bild „spricht“ zu Menschen und hat die Möglichkeit, Emotionen auszulösen, wie zum Beispiel Zärtlichkeit, Zorn, Ablehnung, Heiterkeit, Traurigkeit usw. Gute Fotografen sind nicht darauf beschränkt, gefällige Emotionen zu provozieren.

Abwahlkandidaten der exzellenten Bilder aufstellen[edit]
Mit der Zeit ändern sich die Standards für die Exzellenten Bilder. Es kann entschieden werden, dass Bilder, die vorher „gut genug“ für die Exzellenten waren, es nicht mehr sind. Dies ist zum Aufstellen eines Bildes, welches deiner Meinung nach es nicht mehr verdient, exzellent zu sein. Dazu wähle mit
- {{Keep}} Keep (das Bild verdient es immer noch, als exzellent zu gelten) oder mit
- {{Delist}} Delist (das Bild verdient es nicht mehr, als exzellent zu gelten).
Wenn du denkst, dass ein Bild nicht mehr den Exzellenz-Kriterien entspricht, kannst du es für die Abwahl nominieren, indem du den Bildnamen in dieses Textfeld (einschließlich des Zusatzes Image:) hinter den bereits stehenden Text im Feld kopierst:
In der eben erstellten neuen Seite für die Nomination des Abwahlkandidaten solltest du einfügen:
- Informationen über den Ursprung des Bildes (Ersteller, Uploader),
- Einen Link zur originalen Exzellenz-Kandidatur-Seite (es erscheint unter „Links“ auf der Beschreibungsseite),
- Deine Begründung für die Nominierung und dein Benutzername.
Danach musst du einen Link zu der erstellten Seite oben auf der Seite mit der Liste der Abwahlkandidaten manuell einfügen.
Richtlinien für Exzellenz-Kandidaten[edit]
Allgemeine Regeln[edit]
- Nach dem Ende des Abstimmungs-Zeitraumes wird das Ergebnis am Tag 10 nach der Nominierung festgestellt (im Zeitplan weiter unten gezeigt). Also dauert der Abstimmungs-Zeitraum 9 Tage, plus die Stunden bis zum Ende von Tag 9. Stimmen, die an Tag 10 oder danach abgeben wurden, werden nicht gezählt.
- Nominierungen von anonymen Mitwirkenden sind erwünscht.
- Mitwirken bei Diskussionen von anonymen Mitwirkenden sind erwünscht.
- Nur Nutzer mit einem commons-account, der mindestens 10 Tage alt ist und 50 Beiträge hat, können wählen. Ausnahme: Die eigene Nominierung kann gewählt werden, unabhängig von Alter und Beiträge.
- Die Nominierung zählt nicht als Stimme. Unterstützung muss explizit angegeben werden.
- Nominierungen können vom Einsteller jederzeit zurückgezogen werden. Dies geschieht einfach durch das Schreiben von „I withdraw my nomination“ (eng. Ich ziehe meine Nominierung zurück)
oder durch Hinzufügen von{{withdraw}} ~~~~
. - Denke daran, das Ziel von Wikimedia Commons ist es, einen zentralen Speicher für freie Bilder, genutzt von allen Wikimedia-Projekten, bereitzustellen, einschließlich für mögliche zukünftige Projekte. Dies ist nicht einfach ein Speicher für Wikipedia-Bilder, deshalb sollten hier die Bilder nicht danach beurteilt werden, ob sie zu diesem Projekt passen.
- Bilder können vorzeitig am Tag 5 (fünfter Tag nach der Nominierung) von der Abstimmungsliste genommen werden („Regel des 5. Tages“):
- Wenn sie keine Unterstützung erhalten, die Einsteller nicht mitgezählt.
- Wenn sie 10 oder mehr Pro und kein Kontra erhalten haben.
- Bilder, welche durch die Vorlage {{FPX}} markiert wurden, können 48 Stunden, nachdem die Vorlage gesetzt wurde, von der Liste entfernt werden, vorausgesetzt, das Bild hat außer von den Einstellern keine positiven Stimmen (Unterstützung) erhalten.
- Bilder, welche durch die Vorlage {{FPD}} (FP denied) markiert wurden, können 48 Stunden, nachdem die Vorlage gesetzt wurde, von der Liste entfernt werden.
- Es dürfen von einem Benutzer maximal 2 Nominierungen gleichzeitig platziert werden.
Regeln zur Wahl und Abwahl[edit]
Ein Kandidat wird in die Galerie der exzellenten Bilder aufgenommen, wenn folgende Bedingungen erfüllt sind:
- Passende Lizenz (selbstverständlich)
- Mindestens 7 positive Stimmen (Pro-Stimmen)
- Das Verhältnis von unterstützenden zu ablehnenden Stimmen ist mindestens 2/1 (eine Zwei-Drittel-Mehrheit)
- Zwei verschiedene Versionen desselben Bildes können nicht beide exzellent werden, sondern nur das mit der höheren Zahl an Stimmen.
Die Abwahl-Regeln sind dieselben wie zur Wahl der exzellenten Bilder bei gleichbleibenden Abstimmungs-Zeitraum. Die Regel des 5. Tages gilt für Abwahlkandidaten, die keine Stimme für die Aberkennung des Exzellenz-Status' bis zum Tag 5 erhalten haben, außer die des Antragstellers.
Ein erfahrener Nutzer kann die Anfrage beenden. Wie man eine Anfrage beendet, siehe unter Commons:Kandidaten für exzellente Bilder/Was tun, wenn der Abstimmungszeitraum zu Ende ist.
Vor allem sei freundlich[edit]
Bitte bedenke, dass das Bild, das du beurteilst, das wohlüberlegte Werk von jemandem ist. Vermeide Phrasen wie „it looks terrible“ (eng. sieht schrecklich aus) oder „I hate it“ (eng. Ich hasse es). Wenn du dagegen Stellung nehmen musst, tu dies bitte mit Rücksichtnahme. Bedenke außerdem, dass deine Englischkenntnisse nicht die gleichen sein müssen wie die eines anderen. Wähle deine Worte sorgfältig.
Viel Spaß beim Bewerten …, und denke daran: Alle Regeln können gebrochen werden.

- Too late, but FWIW I like this photo a lot -- the lighting and setting/background have drama that may compensate for technical shortcomings (and for a superior motif, I don't think facing away is a problem). That said, I think it's probably not going to pass FPC, but you should be proud of the photo anyway. — Rhododendrites talk | 20:50, 31 May 2024 (UTC)

- Thank you for your review. I guess you are talking of one of the two trees? They are the reason the chamois were there: close to them the snow is less deep and they can dig the snow with their hooves to eat the grass. The trees are thus part of the habitats of these chamois, which is one of the reasons why the gallery Animals in their habitat was chosen for this picture. Also, I actually personally think that they give a nice touch to the image with their soft colors illuminated by the sunset. Also both trees point to the subject and the chamois clearly stands out with its dark color in this snowy background with soft sunset illuminated colors. -- Giles Laurent (talk) 17:38, 26 May 2024 (UTC)
- Support From the point of view of the chosen gallery, I think the composition is appropriate. In my opinion, the blurred elements in the foreground and background can be considered a compositional style. -- Radomianin (talk) 19:51, 26 May 2024 (UTC)

- Thank you for your review. I still personally think that the background tree is a nice echo of the foreground tree, giving the viewer a sense of what the foreground tree actually looks like while also beeing relevant to the chamois' environment. Giles Laurent (talk) 13:08, 27 May 2024 (UTC)
- It's a fair point, but the tree takes the salience. SHB2000 (talk) 22:09, 27 May 2024 (UTC)
- I still think that the chamois stands out way more than the background tree for multiple reasons : 1) the chamois is the clear subject in the middle of the frame ; 2) the chamois is wearing it's black winter coat which makes it stand out compared to the light-colored snow ; 3) the bokeh is cleary separating the subject from the background ; 4) the foreground tree creates perfect leading lines that point directly at the center of the frame where the subject is placed ; 5) the snow horizon on the background on the left side creates another leading line to the center of the frame where the subject is placed ; 6) the snow on the middleground of the image that goes from the bottom right of the picture to the center also creates another leading line pointing to the subject ; 7) finally, even the background tree is pointing right at the subject. -- Giles Laurent (talk) 22:47, 27 May 2024 (UTC)

- Thank you for your review. The gallery "animals in their habitats" was especially created to feature pictures where a step back was taken and where a wider view is presented. Per creator of this gallery : "It is so great to see the animals as part of photos of their habitat. So please, when you super-record the critters, do also take a step back and compose a few great photos where we can see a bit more of the places where they live". This image is exactly that, it allows to have a wider view that changes from the usual "mugshots" that we often see on animals here. The wider view on this shot was intended for various reasons. It emphasizes the small size of the subject and the fact that it is still a small baby on a big snow covered environment with only a few trees. The wider look also allows to see two trees that are relevant to the environment of the chamois in winter because close to them there is less snow on the ground and the chamois can more easily dig the snow with their hooves to eat the grass. Finally the wider shots also allows to showcase the swiss alps in the background beautifully illuminated by sunset light to complete the scene. If the image would have been cropped/framed to only include the chamois, it would have in my opinion a lot less educational value because we would be missing all these interesting elements about it's habitat. Moreover the wider shots allows to showcase the beautiful sunset colors which is a rare thing to capture with wildlife photography. -- Giles Laurent (talk) 09:55, 29 May 2024 (UTC)
- If so, the habitat should not be OOF. —kallerna (talk) 13:25, 29 May 2024 (UTC)
- The chamois is still the main subject of the image so it's normal to have the focus on him. The bokeh is destined to bring the viewer's attention to the main subject while still allowing to have an idea of the surroundings, without needing to see them in details (or they would steal attention from the main subject). We have several FP on the gallery "Animals in their habitat" that also have bokeh background : 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. Moreover, except if background is extremely close to the subject (or if the subject is far away), you will always have bokeh at 600mm. The use of a 600mm zoom was intentional, as it creates a compression effect that allows the background elements to look closer than they really are. Here is an exemple with a photo (from the internet) of the Château de Chillon with a probably like 25-35mm lense. The red square illustrates where the Dents du Midi are. Here is now a photo of the Château de Chillon taken from more far away with a 155mm zoom in order to have the Dents du Midi mountain appearing in big behind the castle to make them look like they are closer than they really are. This same technique was used in this shot in order to have the Swiss Alps appearing in the background (else they would be extremely small in the background because they are 40-60km further away). -- Giles Laurent (talk) 14:01, 29 May 2024 (UTC)
- This new gallery was not an improvement for several of us. See Strange disconnected extra gallery.
- kallerna takes great photographs of animals in their environment, like File:Vicugna vicugna Salar de Chalviri.jpg and File:Faroese sheep Sumba 1.jpg (both FP) and I think that if you choose to include the background, then this visible context should be attractive / aesthetic in some way. Otherwise the animal is just too small -- Basile Morin (talk) 01:42, 30 May 2024 (UTC)
- You are comparing a domestic animal like a sheep that can extremely easily be approached + an animal that can also easily be approached by humans (vicuna) to a chamois, a wild animal that can't be approached like that. Both pictures you linked were taken at 21mm and 48mm at a close distance (=no bokeh), which is usually not something that can be done with this animal where you have to use a telephoto lense like the 600mm that I used (=inevitable bokeh). To photograph the animal I had to crawl on the snow and hide my body behind a natural bump on the ground with only my head, camera and hands appearing to the chamois, in order to not disturb him and not feel threatening to him or he probably would have fled. -- Giles Laurent (talk) 10:37, 30 May 2024 (UTC)
- There are a bunch of photos of Rupicapra rupicapra on Commons and Wikipedia. So it doesn't seem so difficult to approach them.
- Backgrounds in focus don't necessary "steal attention from the main subject", at least not in the two examples shown above.
- The problem with long focal lengths is they focus on small things. Everything around gets blurry. So the compromise "subject + around" is difficult. Since it quickly gives an insignifiant small subject lost in a big uninteresting space. I think that's what Kallerna says when writing the photo is mainly just "background". Regards -- Basile Morin (talk) 11:13, 30 May 2024 (UTC)
- If you look the images from your link you will notice that they have been all taken from very far or with a telephoto lense, and/or went into a big crop, which proves my point that they are not as easily approachable as a domestic sheep or a vicuna. The group of chamois that I saw was a bit nervous and I have no doubt they would very likely have fled if I would be standing up and not lying on the ground with just my head visible. Moreover, for the sheep image you link I personally have my attention very much directed to the houses on the right because they are in clear focus and I personally don't like animal photography with human constructed elements but that's just my personal taste. Finally I don't think that the subject gets lost in a big uninteresting space for this photo because as said above it emphasizes the small size of the subject and the fact that it is still a small baby on a big snow covered environment with only a few trees. -- Giles Laurent (talk) 11:24, 30 May 2024 (UTC)
- Proportionally, it's a huge background with small animal. And the background itself is... white, with almost nothing apart from distracting blurry elements -- Basile Morin (talk) 11:40, 30 May 2024 (UTC)
- I know it's more rare to see such composition on FPC because here people usually only do mugshots of wild animals but there still are other images in the same situation as linked above : 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. I personally think that this composition brings value to the image because it allows to have a view of the environment and also because it tells a story that a narrow croped/frame picture would not be able to tell. Also I personally think that the background would be distracting if it was in focus and that the bokeh beautifully separates the subject from the background while still beeing possible to understand the context. -- Giles Laurent (talk) 12:05, 30 May 2024 (UTC)
- Environment are greats when they fit. Have a quick glance at this picture. What do you see? Two dark forms. One is okay, and one is a strange bush, like saying "hello, I'm here but just a big unclear shape. Try to find something else in this large, large frame" -- Basile Morin (talk) 12:43, 30 May 2024 (UTC)
- The only dark form I see is the chamois and I think the background tree brings welcoming nice warm colors to a mostly cold snow background giving a nice mix of warm and cold to the image. The background tree also echoes the foreground tree giving the viewer a sense of its shape. It also is relevant to the chamois environment because the herd went where the trees were for more easily accessible grass. -- Giles Laurent (talk) 13:14, 30 May 2024 (UTC)

In theory perhaps, but not out of focus like that, so that when you zoom in, it's just blur in your face! :-) Basile Morin (talk) 13:36, 30 May 2024 (UTC)
- If you see at unzoomed size that it's a tree I don't see why you would want to zoom at it to see if it's still a tree. Bokeh areas is not meant to be zoomed at since it's not the main subject. You will have the same result when zooming in bokeh areas of these pictures : 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 and it is a normal thing. -- Giles Laurent (talk) 13:53, 30 May 2024 (UTC)
- Hmm... Is it not the third time now these 5 links appear on this page? Lol :-) Honestly the big brown mass was not so obvious as a tree at first sight. You were there, but not the observers. Problem is that these elements you don't see the necessity to see in large size actually dominate -- Basile Morin (talk) 14:08, 30 May 2024 (UTC)
- I repost them for convenience to have clearer view of what is beeing refered to. But I agree that the discussion has become cyclical and that everything was already said (many times). I think it's still quite visible that it's a tree with all the branches and some of them with snow. Yes the domination is actually precisely the point of this composition: to have a small baby chamois depicted in a vast open environment with difficultly accessible grass as everything on the ground is deeply snow covered, except close to the trees. -- Giles Laurent (talk) 14:16, 30 May 2024 (UTC)

- Oppose Nice light but 1) the feet are hidden, 2) the big blurry brown mass is distracting, and 3) the snowy branch is out of focus. Cluttered composition in my view -- Basile Morin (talk) 01:42, 30 May 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you for your review. I don't think the feet beeing hidden is a problem for ungulates and we have multiple FP in that situation (in addition to the image of the domesetic sheep you sent yourself above) : 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, etc. Moreover, as explained above, to photograph the animal I had to crawl up a a natural bump in the snow to only have my head, hands and camera appearing to the animal so that it would not feel threatened by me. If I had stood up to have the chamois feet in the image, not only would the chamois have probably fled, but also the composition would have been extremely boring because you would not have the swiss alps in the background and just a boring high-angle shot with just ground visible in the background (click here for an illustration). As for the two trees you mention, they are relevant to the chamois environment. In my opinion the image would have been much more cluttered if they were in focus (which anyway can not be the case at 600mm) and they would also be very distracting in my opinion because they would steal the attention from the chamois. So I still think that having them blured not only creates a good classical foreground, midleground, background photography which gives a 3 dimensional sense to the image but also allow to keep the attention on the main subject. Also, as already said, the foreground tree creates a perfect leading line to the subject just as many others that are present in the image. -- Giles Laurent (talk) 11:09, 30 May 2024 (UTC)
- Would, would, would... if, if, if :-) So to be short, it's sometimes just a question of luck. The environment here was not so cooperative in my personal opinion, but your subjective taste is of course totally acceptable -- Basile Morin (talk) 11:23, 30 May 2024 (UTC)
- Seeing how the chamois were a bit nervous, I have almost no doubt they would have fled if I stood up (but we can never be 100% certain of course). Also, I have been a dozen times to this place and I have no doubt that I was extremely lucky to cumulate multiple favorable factors for this image : 1) there is only a few days/weeks every year that you can have snow there as it is not very high in altitude and also because winters are becoming warmer and warmer lately ; 2) chamois are not often seen there (most of the time it’s just ibexes that are seen) ; 3) the picture was taken with beautiful sunset colors which is rare and lucky for wildlife photography because usually the wild animals will not be placed in a good place or you will face challenging light conditions with for example contre-jour and for this shot I was lucky that the baby chamois was well placed to not have contre-jour, it was also lucky that the chamois was not in a shadow area that would not be benefiting from the sunset colors and it was also lucky that the chamois lifted its head in a way that it could be beautifully illuminated by the soft sunsets light ; 4) the combination of all of the previous elements is extremely lucky because it is way more likely to see the chamois without snow or with no beautiful sunset colors ; 5) it was very interesting to witness how the chamois adapted to this unusual situation for them (snow covering their food and having to go to places with less snow to dig to reach the grass) ; 6) having that small baby chamois far enough from the rest of the herd (especially form the mother) was extremely lucky and allowed to isolate the subject in this big snowy fairy tail environment ; 7) 98% of the time the chamois was just eating/digging the ground with head down and it was only during a very small few seconds that it had its head up like that to monitor me (even though I just had my head, hands and camera visible for him in order to not appear threatening)(but most of the time it was the rest of the herd that kept monitoring me) ; 8) most of the time with wildlife animal you are not able to place yourself to have the elements you want in the background. For this shot I was extremely lucky to be able to have the Swiss alps in the background. 9) the chamois was really perfectly placed with all these leading lines pointing to him, which is uncommon for wildlife photography. With all these elements I honestly personally think this image is of FP level. -- Giles Laurent (talk) 12:00, 30 May 2024 (UTC)
- You see some qualities but minimize the drawbacks :-) 1) animal partially hidden at the bottom (in addition to being small in the environment), 2) background totally unclear, out of focus (not recognizable mountains) 3) unaesthetic branch. Question of visual balance -- Basile Morin (talk) 12:43, 30 May 2024 (UTC)
- Because I honestly personally don't think they are drawbacks (and even if they were, all of the qualities of the image would outweigh them in my opinion) : 1) I don't think having feet partially hidden is a problem for ungulates (see the 15 links above) and is actually even more normal when walking on snow ; 2) for me the background is clear : there's a vast environment with only a few trees and a mountain in the background. I don't think it needs to be in focus as it would steal attention from the subject (and as said above would not be possible anyway at 600mm). The background also tells a story and is relevant to the chamois environment ; 3) I personally think the foreground branch is very aesthetic because it is beautifully covered in snow with beautiful delicate sunset colors. I also like the way they create leading lines to the subject. I understand your opinion, even if I don't agree with it, and I think everything was said. Best regards and have a nice day, -- Giles Laurent (talk) 13:14, 30 May 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you very much! I had a wonderful day :-)
- It's very clear on the picture that the feet are hidden, not because deep in the snow but because the foreground is higher in level.
- 15 examples above (wow!) but all of them with animals at full size. Different from here, small mammal + partially hidden -- Basile Morin (talk) 13:36, 30 May 2024 (UTC)
- I'm happy to hear you had a wonderful day. I understand your view about partially hidden feet and proportion. What I am saying is that not only it's not disturbing for ungulates having feet not visible but that also it is also unavoidable to have that in snow anyway, even if a few inches would have been gained by standing up (at the cost of having the animal flee away and having a way less interesting background). On some of the 15 links mentioned you will even have much greater portion not visible. I personally prefer this picture than these two FP chamois pictures I made : image n°1 and image n°2 because on these two links it's just a chamois "mugshot" and there's not much context to it. This actual image is way more special in my opinion because of the fact that it was shot in a snow environment, moreover with beautiful sunset lights, and that this picture is even is able to give a context of the chamois' environment and behavior in winter in that place. -- Giles Laurent (talk) 14:06, 30 May 2024 (UTC)
- "Unavoidable"? Type "chamois in snow" on Google and you'll see almost all the pictures display the feet (example).
- The number of extraordinary buildings that failed at FPC because something distracting was ruining the composition... Same case here in my view. On the surface, the animal represents maybe 3 or 4 %. The rest is like empty on a "symbolic" level. Content matters -- Basile Morin (talk) 14:22, 30 May 2024 (UTC)
- Unavoidable on deep snow, not on undeep snow that was already flatened by walking on it. I personaly don't think the trees are distracting and that on the opposite they bring value to the composition has it's part of it's environment and explains why the chamois would prefer to be close to it. This picture has just as much "animal surface" than these ones for example : 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and it is a perfectly normal thing for depicting animals in their environment. -- Giles Laurent (talk) 14:35, 30 May 2024 (UTC)

- @El Golli Mohamed with your comment saying "it's really easy for those who have never practiced wildlife photography to criticize", you certainly ignore that the best art critics in this world aren't artists themselves. They just know what they're talking about, with enough background and knowledge. Moreover, this platform is open to everyone. No diploma requested to participate. That's also valid for all the voters who support birds or very cute cats. Similarly you can also meet people having strong convictions on architecture photography without knowing anything about the subject nor the difficulty. Please stay focus on the topic, if you have something interesting to share about the content, just let us know -- Basile Morin (talk) 00:24, 31 May 2024 (UTC)
- What you say is not contradictory to what I said. I didn't say that it was forbidden to criticize a style of photography that you have never practiced, but that it was too easy to do so. After that, saying that you know a subject very well without ever having practiced it doesn't really convince me. El Golli Mohamed (talk) 07:34, 31 May 2024 (UTC)
- You may be upset or frustrated because I opposed a picture of your birds and my vote suddenly put an end to the enthusiastic series of supports. Hopefully because something true was said.
- What I'm explaining concerning reviews: First, great art critics are usually not artists. Which means they don't practice at all. No painting in their hands. Only knowledge, feelings, sensibility. And they usually know what they're talking about. Same happens when you enjoy a music or a movie, you don't need to be musician nor director or comedian, you just need to master a field that is about giving fair appreciations. And criticizing an art work is never "too easy" for these professionals. Secondly, it's far more easy to cast an empty vote with nothing written, or with nothing constructive, than expressing a subjective opinion, finding the words, detailing a reasoning, and if necessary courageously going against the consensus. I appreciate Giles's works in general, but I'm sorry not all the FPCs are always promoted. And I think all the authors (myself included) often lack objectivity. That's why various points of view are necessary -- Basile Morin (talk) 08:51, 31 May 2024 (UTC)

- Support As a wildlife photographer, I understand the challenges that often arise when capturing images in cold climates and at high altitudes. I have gone out to photograph in temperatures of -20°C to -30°C, which is common in this region of Quebec. I have also been at 5,000 meters above sea level in the Andes (reaching there on foot without a cable car). In such conditions, it's not just tough on the stomach; I remember that taking three steps felt like running an entire stadium, the heart beats very fast, the hands feel like they are burning despite special gloves, and the stomach feels like you have diarrhea all the time. I agree that an image should speak for itself, but we must consider the circumstances: a cold and high place is very different from a photo of farm animals. I respect others' opinions, but I want to support this photo for its merit and difficulty. --Wilfredor (talk) 22:18, 30 May 2024 (UTC)
- Support Excellent shot. I would have cropped it a bit on the left, given that there's a lot of weight on the right. That being said, I particularly like that the image shows the habitat. The bokeh of the lens is nice and in general there's nothing wrong with out-of-focus elements in an image.

- The beak is just about okay, but not the crest above, nor the eyes, nor even the crest around the neck. The focus is really further away, probably because the bird was moving forward. Or because the focus point was not adequately targeted -- Basile Morin (talk) 02:02, 1 June 2024 (UTC)

- Thanks for asking, Charles. As for dissenting votes, I prefer to use them very thoughtfully. If possible, I try to convey my opinion with a comment or, if in doubt, a neutral vote. However, if it's necessary to prevent a promotion in the interest of common consensus, I do so - as in this example. Best regards, -- Radomianin (talk) 21:34, 30 May 2024 (UTC)
- I understand. But your policy, whilst it avoids creating enemies, skews nominations in favour of promotion. I have had to give up opposing nominations except in exceptional circumstances (e.g. ethics), so I have also stopped supporting excellent nominations which is a shame. The general enmity and frequent hostility from other users made my life too stressful, so I can see where you are coming from. Unfortunately, it is not possible to hide the identity of voters. Charlesjsharp (talk) 09:05, 31 May 2024 (UTC)
- Many thanks for your thoughts, Charles. I think a detailed, reasoned dissenting vote is very valuable to be constructive for the image and the photographer. However, a constructive comment can be equally helpful in not scaring off new talent. An offer of help can also rescue a nomination. Because FPC thrives on diversity, which is not always the case. I have also learned a lot on this forum over the years, and yet I can't get enough of participating regularly and enjoying the contributions of fellow users. Speaking only for myself, it may not always be easy, but as in real life, learning from mistakes strengthens your skills and ultimately your level of confidence.

Please allow me to share my opinion as an outsider: It is not okay to insult, El Golli Mohamed. It is also not okay to feel provoked or to provoke. We should always remember the principle of assuming good intentions. If someone feels provoked, it might be a good idea to wait a bit before responding calmly. I think it would be appropriate for you to settle your differences, perhaps with an apology. What is the point of remembering past incidents? I'm sure you're both friendly and outgoing people in real life, so you should look to the future and not lose focus on the main goal of our presence here: Working together to build a valuable media library for reusers.

- I assume it's about this nomination. You withdrew the nomination two days after it was created. I think this was a bit hasty. Please don't be discouraged by comments and be patient. With some nominations, reviewers are undecided at first and decide to review the image later. Your assumption, mentioned on the nomination page, that there is a lobby that does not want to judge the photo is not correct, in my opinion. You may want to consider reversing your withdrawal to allow the nomination to run its course. -- Radomianin (talk) 21:05, 31 May 2024 (UTC)

- Weak oppose It's a great shot that you got at the right moment. But unfortunately, the head and eyes are out of focus, probably because the bird swam toward you. Even post-processing would not be able to fix this problem. Normally, the wow factor takes precedence over technical quality, but in my humble opinion, the lack of focus on the most important part of the body is a criterion against promotion. I'm sorry about that. -- Radomianin (talk) 19:24, 31 May 2024 (UTC)
- The ferruginous crest of the grebe is the most interesting part of the bird and it is in focus. You can't shoot at F11 in wildlife photography to have all the depth of field from the tip of the beak till the crest in focus for such a situation. El Golli Mohamed (talk) 21:00, 31 May 2024 (UTC)
- I understand that it is very challenging to create such ambitious images. However, as I see it, the focus in your photo is mainly on the flight feathers, as even the impressive crest is not completely in focus. I suspect that the bird's movement towards you was faster than the autofocus. I think if the crest had been sharper, the eyes and head would also have been more in focus than they are now. -- Radomianin (talk) 21:58, 31 May 2024 (UTC)

- In reality, the city's lighting situation certainly not have been as static as the picture makes it seem. Milseburg (talk) 14:58, 27 May 2024 (UTC)
- @Milseburg The image is a composite, which means that it went through some tweaking to achieve the desired effect. By my looks, the image must have been captured during totality, then the eclipse phases were added to some parts of the sky based on the location during that phase. I'm not a photography expert, so if anyone can explain it better and more accurately than me, please do. WildMouse76 (talk) 15:17, 27 May 2024 (UTC)

- Comment The new image is not much improvement, it has blurs where the previous was sharp. Eg the top edges of the petals. The focus stacking needs rework. The tool I use, Zerene Stacker, allows one to copy a part of a specific image into the output. I find this useful for sharpening blurry areas that the automatic stacking cannot fix. --Tagooty (talk) 03:24, 26 May 2024 (UTC)

- It's probably one of a series of photos from the fueling mission, and explanation to why the planes were so close to each other and lazy file naming. It could be renamed "Airman in F-15E takes photo of KC-10" ;-), given what is going on in the photo, or "F-15E during fueling stage from KC-10". --Cart (talk) 10:09, 23 May 2024 (UTC)
