I don't know. --Wisniowy 08:54, 18 February 2009 (UTC)}
Support Good enough. However, it appears (not necessarily is) slightly tilted clockwise. Also, the picture could be improved by digitally smoothing out the small noise in the sky. Good control on the whites; shadow in the tower, bright light and snow is not the easiest combination. Since the EXIF is missing, it would be a bonus to add the information to the Information template. --Siipikarja 10:04, 18 February 2009 (UTC))

Why is it so noisy at 100 ISO ? --Richard Bartz 17:15, 14 February 2009 (UTC)

It's underexposed and the background is brighter than the subject, but both can be fixed with post-processing: see File:Kangaroo Australia 01 11 2008 - retouch.JPG. --Carnildo 01:05, 15 February 2009 (UTC) Comment Can you nominate the edit, please ?. --Carnildo 08:42, 15 February 2009 (UTC)

Comment Too tight crop at the top and the pole is a little bit disturbing. Interesting picture anyhow. What's the story behind the paint markings in the necks of the sheep? People are carrying snowboards in the background. :) --Siipikarja 22:46, 13 February 2009 (UTC) The picture is underexposed, sorry -Richard Bartz 13:44, 14 February 2009 (UTC)

Three dust spots visible in the sky.I'm not convinced by the focus but I like the composition. --Eusebius 22:02, 24 January 2009 (UTC)
Corrected the spots. As for focus, the camera thought it was right... stupid technology. Mattbuck 14:53, 25 January 2009 (UTC)
On balance I decline it. One thing that worries me is that it doesn't actually show the subject (a viaduct) very well - it just looks like a railway going around a curve (I suppose that means I don't like the composition ;-) --Tony Wills 10:30, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
Well, it is still a viaduct, just not a normal view of one. Mattbuck 22:07, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

- Nomination Petrus church in Jaffa --Berthold Werner 14:52, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

If you upload images like this one, which are not really sharp, you'd better scale them down. That reduces memory and traffic consumption, without constraining much of the usability. -- Aleph 15:05, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

Regretfully, I decline this. It's a great sight, and it makes me wish I could see it for myself. But as Eusebius said, it could use some more space on the left, as it's currently rather unbalanced. Mattbuck 02:48, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

Carol, thank you for the interest in my image. Please take a look here File:Ice crystals at the cake box2.jpg (it is not the same image that was cropped of for the nomination, but similar). You see the cake in a box with ice crystals. If I did not crop my image, sure somebody would have been complaining about background. So, I cropped it. I like ice.

OpposeNeutral What Mattbuck said. --Siipikarja 23:38, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
- Comment Mattbuck says moreless nothing and this smells like arbitrariness. Starting deciding based on a subjective impression is a strange trend - if you haven't a concrete opinion then you dont need to put in your two cents. If you think it's boring or you can't do anything with it then remain neutral. I mean what's wrong with the picture ? It's simply snow - no banging landscape panorama, maybe not entertaining but this isn't a entertainment channel here. It displays snow in a very minimalistic way. You can even look beneath and the shadows are very fine. There are hundred of QI pictures with a centered composition --Richard Bartz 01:53, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
Comment This is not an entertainment channel here, you're right. This is an educational channel. From Commons upload form: "Wikimedia Commons is for educational or informational content." Commons already has plenty of pictures from snow. Now, what does this picture contribute? As Tony Wills pointed out earlier, uniqueness is not a requirement for a QI. I don't see any technical flaws in the picture, so I change my vote to neutral. But from my point of view, the picture still has little or no educational/informational content. --Siipikarja (talk) 15:00, 6 February 2009 (UTC)- It shows a state which is called crusted snow a layer of snow on the surface of the snowpack that is stronger than the snow below, which may be powder snow. So I can't see a reason why it should be useless, moreover it's inventive packaged for such a dry subject . --Richard Bartz 15:24, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
- Comment Fair enough. Please add the information you provided to the description template of the image. When someone needs an image of crusted snow, he/she will find your image easier. --Siipikarja 15:52, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

- The sky wasn't manipulated, although I did notice the sky being unnaturally clear and blue. I just attributed it to being early in the morning with very clear skies. On the other hand, I may have raised the saturation a bit too much ... -- YooChung 15:36, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

- Comment I don't disagree that shallow DOF can be very beneficial for framing, but this seems like too much frame to me. I think the two plants that are in focus are sharp and beautifully rendered, but in my view the significant amount of bokeh surrounding them distracts from what should be the subject(s) of the picture. The user was kind enough to upload a cropped version here that I like immensely. (It also takes care of the odd black protrusion in the top left corner of the image.) --Jonny-mt 11:36, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

Done You're right Richard, there was a perspective distortion. I did a keystone correction, but left the vertical lines still slightly tilted since making them dead vertical made the building look like ice cream cone -shaped. By the way, thanks for introducing me the term keystone correction. --Siipikarja 12:14, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

- Comment After having a second look at the image, I decided to revert the keystone correction. The picture might have a perspective distortion, but the building looks more natural without the correction. This is quite a challenging image as what comes to perspective: straight lines with perpendicular planes shot from a difficult angle. --Siipikarja 10:54, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

I know there are lots of undescribed spiders, it now appears that many sites that attach species names to pictures of NZ flies may not be very precise (see File talk:Fly feeding on fly 01.jpg).

- Oppose Mediocre quality, washed out details, blown sky to the right. Lycaon 08:50, 11 February 2009 (UTC)
- Support The "washed out details" are due to thermical flicker which is caracteristic for an open pit mine of this size. Image meets the criteria in any aspect. Furthermore, the image gives an excellent impression of the dimensions of open pit coal mining. --High Contrast 09:03, 11 February 2009 (UTC)
- That would make it an FP and possibly a VI but not necessarily a QI. Lycaon 07:48, 12 February 2009 (UTC)
- Oppose Hard to vote against an FP, but I agree with Lycaon. The over exposed sky should not be there. --Siipikarja 17:02, 15 February 2009 (UTC)

- Oppose Good composition, but the sky is overexposed. --Siipikarja 10:17, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
- Comment Sorry but the sky is not overexposed. Its wasnt a day with a blue sky when I took the picture. It was a very hazy day. There are some minor highlights in the snow but not in the sky. Other opinions please --Simonizer 16:38, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
- Comment The sky may not be pure white (#FFFFFF), but it is very close to it. It is distractingly bright. Since it is not overexposed, it should be possible to make the sky darker by simply adjusting the brightness / contrast. --Siipikarja 17:33, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
- Comment It looks better if you increase the contrast. --Jolly Janner 17:15, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

- Is it pro or a con? --High Contrast 07:58, 22 February 2009 (UTC)
- Okay, then the Running total is 2 pro, 1 oppose, then, isn't it? --High Contrast 09:47, 22 February 2009 (UTC)
- Yes. --Eusebius 09:54, 22 February 2009 (UTC)
- Okay, then the Running total is 2 pro, 1 oppose, then, isn't it? --High Contrast 09:47, 22 February 2009 (UTC)
- Support Only very small noise and sharpness of the rocks is ok in my opinion. I would promote it for QI --Simonizer 09:11, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
- Support Very cool image and the noise is not distracting at reasonable review sizes. J.smith 18:02, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
- Oppose Overprocessed, possibly in-camera. Lycaon 20:53, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

- Decline
SupportI like it (composition and colours), even though (because?) most of it is black or very dark. --Eusebius 08:56, 16 February 2009 (UTC)- Oppose At 1.47Mp, this image does not meet the minimum size requirements of 2Mp --Relic38 16:38, 17 February 2009 (UTC)
- Oppose True, sorry about that. --Eusebius 13:59, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

- Comment I think I can see dust spots on the inside of the cap. --Jolly Janner 20:48, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
- I Think it's on the compass itself !? --Berthold Werner (talk) 12:39, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
- I think there is lots of dust on the compass itself, but there are two dust spots on the camera lens, which have resulted in two discoloured circles on the inside of the cap. Jolly Janner 12:42, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
- Is this an oppose? ;-) --Berthold Werner 15:21, 20 February 2009 (UTC)
- For the moment. You can probably remove the dust spots using a tool. I might try it myself, if I'm allowed to. I'd much rather see an image improved rather than opposing it. I will support it if they are removed. Jolly Janner 15:32, 20 February 2009 (UTC)
- Support --Mbdortmund 23:51, 20 February 2009 (UTC)
- Oppose Dust spots should be removed. --Siipikarja 11:41, 22 February 2009 (UTC)
I withdraw my nomination I'll take another shot and nominate again. Danke für die Unterstützung! adamantios (talk) 12:09, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

- Comment Sky was very grey and homogenous. --Coyau 12:06, 17 February 2009 (UTC)
- Support In my view it's OK: high sharpness level outbalanced (for me) --High Contrast 13:07, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

Support OK --Coyau 23:07, 16 February 2009 (UTC)Notyourbroom and Siipikarja are rignt. Can't be a QI without noise removal. --Coyau 15:03, 18 February 2009 (UTC)- Comment I see a lot of noise that could be smoothed out digitally... Especially if this is accepted, Phil13 should look into cleaning it up a bit. --Notyourbroom 23:29, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
Comment Yes, removing the noise from the sky would make the picture better. --Siipikarja 10:43, 17 February 2009 (UTC)
- Noise removed. Lycaon 18:10, 22 February 2009 (UTC)
