-
- Nomination Capital of a column of the cloister of St. Francis in Amelia --Livioandronico2013 14:55, 16 February 2015 (UTC)
- Decline I really do not often decline images only because of composition, but here the disturbing background is not well handled. --Smial 15:15, 19 February 2015 (UTC)
what an honour Smial --Livioandronico2013 20:30, 19 February 2015 (UTC)
Comment If you disagree, feel free to send the image to CR, others may have other opinions. No problem. -- Smial 22:07, 19 February 2015 (UTC)

- Nomination portrait of Sir Roger Moore. By User:Allan warren --Nonexyst 11:28, 16 February 2015 (UTC)
- Decline Doubtless a valuable image of high encyclopedial value. Unfortunately, the blurry plant in the foreground prevents a promotion to QI. --Cccefalon 14:19, 17 February 2015 (UTC)
* Comment Hey, the plant is essential part of the composition, because the espionage microphone is hidden there ;-) -- Smial 15:08, 19 February 2015 (UTC)
-
- Nomination HMS Warrior and the Spinnaker. Mattbuck 07:13, 16 February 2015 (UTC)
- Promotion After comparing with your other Spinnaker images, e.g. File:Portsmouth MMB 50 Harbour - The Spinnaker and Portsmouth Harbour railway station.jpg, I think, that the image is tilted cw. --Cccefalon 02:28, 17 February 2015 (UTC)
Done Mattbuck 22:58, 18 February 2015 (UTC)
It's a complicated structure. I trust your expertise on the shape of the tower and that it is rectilinear now. Anyway, it feels vertical now. Good quality. --Cccefalon 13:17, 19 February 2015 (UTC)
I just tilted it about a degree anticlockwise, that looked a bit better. Nothing about it appears vertical! Mattbuck 22:37, 19 February 2015 (UTC)

-
- Nomination Exterior figures at Jesuitenkirche, Vienna --Hubertl 07:36, 15 February 2015 (UTC) Comment It's too dark and I'd suggest to fix the horizontal perspective specially on top since it is a frontal view!?--Moroder 10:32, 17 February 2015 (UTC) * Done Please have another review, Moroder! --Hubertl 17:05, 18 February 2015 (UTC)
- Promotion Good quality. --Moroder 12:47, 19 February 2015 (UTC)

- Decline CA at the top, general low JPEG quality leading to artifaction and posterisation. --Mattbuck 22:50, 17 February 2015 (UTC)
* Comment (For the records) The jpg quality settings aren't so bad, the problem is not too high compression setting, but too strong noise reduction. --Smial 14:55, 19 February 2015 (UTC)
-
- Nomination Sanctuar of Sobek at the temple of Kom Ombo, Egypt --Oltau 08:14, 14 February 2015 (UTC)* Comment please correct the perspective distortions. --Hubertl 10:30, 14 February 2015 (UTC)

- Nomination One of Britains best examples of a neolithic long barrow, located on the Ridgeway, close to the Uffington white horse in Oxfordshire. By User:Msemmett --Nev1 22:41, 13 February 2015 (UTC)
* Comment The comparatively tiny resolution cannot deceive the reviewers eye: Magenta CA in the branches. --Cccefalon 09:23, 14 February 2015 (UTC) - Decline Very nice composition, but there are strong perspective issues and some CA. --Smial 14:46, 19 February 2015 (UTC)

- Nomination Distributor in the tool shed, Quarzwerke, Sythen, Haltern am See, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany --XRay 05:17, 12 February 2015 (UTC)
- Promotion Ermmmmmmmmm - the description is absolutely wrong: The three units represent AFRISO leakage indicators for the safety hull of three tanks with water hazarding fluids. --Cccefalon 13:53, 17 February 2015 (UTC)
FWIW, sort out this description and I think it's QI. Mattbuck 22:33, 17 February 2015 (UTC)
Fixed I've updated the description. Thanks for your help.--XRay 10:00, 18 February 2015 (UTC)
Though the colour of the shadows do challenge me, I would agree with Matt that it is QI. --Cccefalon 13:20, 19 February 2015 (UTC)
-
- Nomination Crossharbour DLR station. Mattbuck 09:20, 10 February 2015 (UTC)
- Promotion Unfavorable lighting. The front respectively the main object is too dark. -- Spurzem 12:41, 10 February 2015 (UTC)
I'll get on this tomorrow. Mattbuck 23:10, 14 February 2015 (UTC)
Done Mattbuck 20:43, 15 February 2015 (UTC)Good enough for QIC. --Smial 14:28, 19 February 2015 (UTC)
-
- Nomination Agios Minas, the cathedral of Heraklion, Crete. --C messier 14:16, 6 February 2015 (UTC)
CA visible, a bit too dark Poco a poco 19:25, 6 February 2015 (UTC)
Done--C messier 14:28, 8 February 2015 (UTC)
Left side leaning out a bit. Mattbuck 23:40, 10 February 2015 (UTC)
I used as reference point the building behind. --C messier 17:43, 11 February 2015 (UTC)
I think that Matt is right. The problem is probably barrel distortion Poco a poco 20:58, 11 February 2015 (UTC)
I tried to fix it if it was barrel, but I got the building inclined. They are just to close to be a camera distortion. --C messier 13:56, 12 February 2015 (UTC)
I gave it a try, revert if you don't like it. The problem is that I cannot promote it anymore Poco a poco 21:07, 13 February 2015 (UTC) - Promotion It´s ok for me now. --Hubertl 09:10, 19 February 2015 (UTC)
- Nomination Agios Minas, the cathedral of Heraklion, Crete. --C messier 14:16, 6 February 2015 (UTC)
Consensual review
[edit]File:Giant_Manta_AdF.jpg
[edit]- Nomination Frontal portrait of Giant Manta Ray (Manta birostris) filter feeding. These huge animals (with a wingspan of up to 7 meters) swim in the strong current slowly flapping their 'wings' (pectoral fins) with amazing elegance. Raja Ampat, West Papua, Indonesia. By User:Arturo de Frias Marques --1989 00:36, 16 February 2015 (UTC)
- Decline
- Oppose Posterized area --Cccefalon 01:27, 16 February 2015 (UTC)
- Comment I think a POTY finalist deserve at least a discussion with other opinions. KTC 12:10, 17 February 2015 (UTC)
- Oppose - Unsharpness (presumably due to water) and noticable posterisation banding (not due to water). It may be a POTY finalist but it's not a quality image for me - I think that the POTY is likely on the basis of the wow factor, which it certainly has. Mattbuck 22:44, 18 February 2015 (UTC)
- Oppose Posterized area --PIERRE ANDRE LECLERCQ 22:53, 18 February 2015 (UTC)

- Promotion
- Support Even when it´s not perfectly sharp, weak QI. --Hubertl 10:56, 16 February 2015 (UTC)
- Oppose Right side is ok, but left side is decidely blurry. --Mattbuck 22:36, 17 February 2015 (UTC)
- Weak Support. Sharpness could be better. -- Spurzem 12:20, 18 February 2015 (UTC)
Total: 2 support (excluding the nominator), 1 oppose → Promoted --Hubertl 09:02, 20 February 2015 (UTC)
File:Heuliez GX 317 n°627 Réseau Mistral Mourillon.jpg
[edit]- Nomination Bus in Toulon --Billy69150 11:25, 12 February 2015 (UTC)
- Promotion
- Support Nice detail; DoF handled well --Daniel Case 07:10, 16 February 2015 (UTC)
- Neutral The quality is ok, but there's too much sky. I've noticed this in a lot of your photos - you cramp the subject into the bottom half of the photo. Please either start cropping or aim a bit lower when shooting! --Mattbuck 22:33, 17 February 2015 (UTC)
- Support Perhaps it could be tighter cropped but this is no reason to decline. -- Spurzem 12:23, 18 February 2015 (UTC)
- Support per Spurzem. On this picture, the sky isn't a problem because the bus is photographed within it's environment. --TwoWings 15:50, 19 February 2015 (UTC)
- Support I have no problem with the amount of sky. Royalbroil 04:49, 22 February 2015 (UTC)

File:PRR_13182_Ore_Car.JPG
[edit]- Nomination Ore Car --Ram-Man 04:11, 17 February 2015 (UTC)
- Decline
- Oppose Notable magenta CA.
Area on the right side completly #FFFFFF--Cccefalon 08:21, 17 February 2015 (UTC)- These are reflections like this, not the result of overexposure. Ram-Man 12:28, 17 February 2015 (UTC)
- I was not talking about the reflections, this was ok for me. It was about the area at the right side of the car. However, after reviewing it with dimmed light, I could see that there is structure in it, so the remaining issue are the pretty dominant chromatic aberrations. --Cccefalon 13:28, 17 February 2015 (UTC)
- There are CAs, but IMO CAs are no reason on their own to oppose an otherwise sharp, detailed, and well rendered image. Great if someone can fix them, but reviewers rarely fix them here. Ram-Man 13:50, 17 February 2015 (UTC)
- Excuse me, don't you find it blunt, to ask me for fixing your image? As far as I can see, you are using Photoshop for postprocessing your images. In my humble opinion, it is not asked to much, to fix obvious issues by yourself. The QIC rules clearly point out, that such CA are a photographic fault. I always give people a chance to fix their CA, but if you are unwilling to do that petty step, I have no other chance than to decline. Sorry for that, I really wanted to see your photo QI sealed. --Cccefalon 14:37, 17 February 2015 (UTC)
- CAs are not an absolute photographic fault nor are they distracting (See image guidelines). There is a reasonableness standard. They are not the fault of the photographer, but instead the equipment. It's unreasonable to expect very specific high quality equipment to qualify for a QI. Ram-Man 18:06, 17 February 2015 (UTC)

- Comment Just to see how "easy" it is, I tried correcting CA in photoshop and not only did it fail to remove the CA, it added the inverse CA and blurred the image. -- Ram-Man
- Try using the sponge tool on desaturate. Lens correction rarely removes 100% of CA. Mattbuck 22:38, 18 February 2015 (UTC)
- Oppose - CA on the letters, bottom not very sharp. Mattbuck 22:38, 18 February 2015 (UTC)

File:Barite_and_Fluorite_Specimen_17.JPG
[edit]- Nomination Barite and Fluorite --Ram-Man 04:11, 17 February 2015 (UTC)
- Decline
- Oppose Sorry, this one is oversharpened and is bearing jpeg artefacts. --Cccefalon 13:31, 17 February 2015 (UTC)
- This has not been oversharpened. There is some noise texture (not JPEG artifacts?), but it's extremely minor. The image may not contain a full 16MP of real detail, but I don't downsample to pass QI. It the end user did, these issues would disappear. Ram-Man 13:38, 17 February 2015 (UTC)
- Oppose - Low DOF, and purple shadowing in the black stuff. Mattbuck 22:34, 18 February 2015 (UTC)
- It's not shadowing. The fluorite is dark purple. And the DoF at f/9 on a 4/3" sensor is right around the diffraction limit. Ram-Man 12:23, 19 February 2015 (UTC)

- Oppose I disagree: Noise and artefacts. --Cccefalon 08:23, 17 February 2015 (UTC)
- Support. Good lighting, good perspective, low noise. For me QI -- Spurzem 09:55, 17 February 2015 (UTC)
- Oppose per Cccefalon. Denoising artifacts are too strong here for me (visible especially on the black parts) --Kreuzschnabel 16:11, 17 February 2015 (UTC)

- Decline
- Support Good quality. --Hubertl 00:25, 16 February 2015 (UTC)
- Oppose I disagree: The perspective should be done (easy to achieve here). Another issue is the blurry branch that is reaching into the main motif. For me not a QI therefore. --Cccefalon 02:40, 17 February 2015 (UTC)
- Oppose The perspective is fine for me, but the twigs/fruits in the foreground are distracting and partly covering the subject. --El Grafo 16:25, 17 February 2015 (UTC)

[edit]- Nomination Haunted house behind trees in a dark afternoon. Park Carlos I, Caldas da Rainha, Portugal -- Alvesgaspar 20:41, 15 February 2015 (UTC)
- Decline
- Oppose Either trees or house. The trees are just distracting. --Hubertl 11:01, 16 February 2015 (UTC) -- Comment Well, that was the way I wanted the photo! -- Alvesgaspar 11:06, 16 February 2015 (UTC)
- Support This is not a case of poor composition, although I'll admit that the difference between subject and distraction is not always obvious or objective. The trees and house may both be part of the subject of this photo. There is no rule saying this can't be the case. And the picture is rendered correctly, so QI for me.

- Oppose Christian Ferrer is right, although we could (maybe) live with that. But the distracting net in the foreground completely ruins the subject, in my opinion. Alvesgaspar 10:38, 16 February 2015 (UTC)
- But you can not remove this net so long as we have pigeons in town. And I will not kill them. That's the problem. -- Spurzem 14:06, 16 February 2015 (UTC)

- Comment The bottom could do with sharpening too. Mattbuck 21:26, 16 February 2015 (UTC)
- Comment Not a clear decline to me. The white parts just don’t have much detail to show so their brightness (not to say overexposure) is acceptable for me, at least there is no posterization. Perspective has to be taken care of though (see background buildings on left and right). Framing is very tight. --Kreuzschnabel 09:16, 17 February 2015 (UTC)
- Thanks for your comments. I'll make better at next time. This picture was shot in a small space, that explain the tight frame and the "perspectives issues". - Bzh-99 11:20, 21 February 2015 (UTC)

- Oppose The DOF is not enough. Why only f/6,3? The unsharp front part is very disturbing. --Hockei 12:53, 14 February 2015 (UTC)

- Support as Kreuzschnabel --Christian Ferrer 13:45, 16 February 2015 (UTC)
- Support obviously this was taken in a lower light situation. Perhaps under a tree? Late in the day? I don't know the reason, but because most of the subject is sharp and the background is pleasing, I'm inclined to support, even if it's not absolutely perfect. This is high enough quality to be published in a print magazine. Ram-Man 04:07, 17 February 2015 (UTC)
- Support I agree with Ram-Man. The scape and most of the raceme are well-depicted. Often pubescence and ribs on the scape are interesting and distinguishing features. The spider silk and background add interest to the image. --Wsiegmund 05:34, 17 February 2015 (UTC)

- Oppose Strongly overexposed window in the background. It would have been better to close the door. Not repairable IMO. --Steindy 00:56, 14 February 2015 (UTC)
- I agree that the blown area is not reparable, but that is a minor flaw which does not distract from the main subject -- Alvesgaspar 15:18, 15 February 2015 (UTC).
- Comment Alvesgaspar, if you think that this as a „minor flaw“, then you should remember this in your reviews of other photos. I think it is a fatal mistake that would have been easily avoided. Regards --Steindy 22:37, 17 February 2015 (UTC)

- Oppose Agree, plus a too tight crop and disturbing geometric distortion. This is, I believe, the result of using a small focal lens and taking the shot too close to the subject. Alvesgaspar 10:43, 16 February 2015 (UTC)
- Support Detailed and good quality. --Steindy 22:43, 17 February 2015 (UTC)

- I agree Cccefalon. It looks strange. Even the boat in the rear. Firtsly i thought its overprocessed due to a high ISO. But its just ISO 100. Cant describe it, but I know what you are talking about. -- DerFussi 08:26, 15 February 2015 (UTC) -- DerFussi 08:26, 15 February 2015 (UTC)

- Oppose Blown out sky, also some CAs on the left side. --Steindy 00:25, 14 February 2015 (UTC)
- Support I disagree. CA is really small and can possibly be reduced. But there is absolutely nothing blown in the sky, it's simply grey. --Smial 05:24, 14 February 2015 (UTC)
I will attest that the sky was grey. As people who read my reviews well know, I have a low tolerance for overexposure and detest remapping white to grey to "fix" it. Mattbuck 23:12, 14 February 2015 (UTC)
- Would you accept such a grey sky if other candidates would present it? As I know you decline on principle if the sky is not dark blue. Best regards -- Spurzem 10:03, 15 February 2015 (UTC)
- I decline an image if I feel the sky is overexposed. I'm perfectly happy with grey skies if that is what the sky was like when the photo was taken. Mattbuck 10:10, 15 February 2015 (UTC)
- Would you accept such a grey sky if other candidates would present it? As I know you decline on principle if the sky is not dark blue. Best regards -- Spurzem 10:03, 15 February 2015 (UTC)
Support CA is very discreet, almost invisible, otherwise well-exposed, good quality and composition. And I've never seen Mattbuck decline a images due to grey sky. --ArildV 10:48, 15 February 2015 (UTC)
- Support This is fine. A grey sky is fine. I'd even occasionally support a blown sky, so I certainly agree with Mattbuck's baseline standard for acceptance. Ram-Man 04:04, 17 February 2015 (UTC)
