提名

如果您認為您已經找到或拍攝了一張可能符合標準的影象，並使用了適當的影象描述和版權標記許可，那麼請按照如下步驟操作：

1. 按照括號內的格式（Commons:Featured picture candidates/File:提名影象名稱.jpg）在下方的文字框輸入影象名稱，然後點選“建立新提名”按鈕。

如果本次提名為第n次提名，請按照括號內的格式（Commons:Featured picture candidates/File:提名影象名稱.jpg/2）展開操作。

所有的新圖片集提名頁面都應按照括號內的格式（Commons:Featured picture candidates/Set/My nomination）進行。

2. 按照編輯頁面上的說明進行操作並儲存頁面。（注：開啟編輯頁面後，您在上方看到的“LIST OF NOMINATIONS (Put your nominations to the TOP of this section (after this comment))”大意為“這裡是候選圖片列表，請將您的提名提交到本節的頂部（在本行後）”；您在下方看到的“DO NOT ADD NEW NOMINATIONS ABOVE THIS LINE, BUT ON TOP”大意為“不要在本行上方新增新的貼士（除了頂部）”。）

3. 點選此處並按如下格式在圖片候選區的頂端加入新內容：

{{Commons:Featured picture candidates/File:提名影象名稱.jpg}}

推薦操作：請COM:FP的列表處新增一個分類。

可選操作：如果您不是影象的建立者，請通知在他/她的討論頁添入“{{subst:FPC-notice|Your image filename.jpg}} -- ~~~~”（不含括號）。

注意調校你的熒光屏

光暗度

在討論影象的光暗度的時候，投票者有必要知道他們的螢幕顯示有否被適當地調整。不同的螢幕顯示，它們顯示陰影細節的能力亦大有不同。旁邊為一幅畫了四個暗灰色的圓圈的圖片。如果您能辨明其中三個（甚至四個）圈子，那表示你的的螢幕可以正確地顯示陰影細節。如果你只能夠看到三個以下的圈子，你可能需要調整你的螢幕以及/或者電腦顯示設定。一些顯示裝置可能無法被調整至觀察陰影細節的最理想度數，故此請在投票的時候考慮這點。如果可行的話，也可以考慮把它打印出來。

色彩度

在伽瑪調整的螢幕顯示上從幾尺之外觀看右圖，圖中四個不同顏色的圈子會自然混入背景之中。如果他們完全跟背景混合，你則須要調校你的伽瑪設定（在電腦的輸出設定上，而不在於螢幕顯示），直到它們能彼此融合。調校的過程也許會非常困難，然而輕微的偏差並不是致命傷。未能更正的個人電腦顯示通常會顯示出比背景深色的圈子。請注意，在液晶顯示（無論膝上電腦或者平面螢幕）上觀看圖片，你的觀看角度有很大可能影響螢幕上的影象質素。如有需要，請點選影象以獲得更多技術資訊。

Info A rare species of Indonesian owl, described as an elusive and little-known bird. IUCN rated 'Near threatened' as a consequence of small population and habitat loss. No FPs of this species. Whether this one is FP might depend on what you think of the blurry branch, but I'm fine with it, it helps frame the birds. I'll add that I can't find a better picture of this species on the internet, let alone a male-female pair under a Creative Commons license. created by JJ Harrison – uploaded by JJ Harrison – nominated by Cmao20 -- Cmao20 (talk) 14:45, 8 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Support - Almost looks like a painting! I'm not the keenest on the vignetting, but this is certainly an excellent image. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 15:40, 8 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Neutral Hmmmm... The birds are awesome, but I'm not a fan of this sort of vignetting. It looks like a very ordinary version based on exposure and highlights. If you use a combo of shadows, dehaze and dark hues instead, such a vignetting would look more natural and not so intrusive. --Cart (talk) 16:10, 8 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I can understand this criticism. I made this nomination mainly because of the rarity of the photo and the good detail on an elusive species, but you do make a valid point. Let's see how votes go for now. Cmao20 (talk) 16:45, 8 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Of course, you made the right choice to pick this one. For its medium fault, it is the best we have of the species.

Support -- UnpetitproleX (Talk) 16:11, 7 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Sorry, but this is a bit too generic per the Value section: "almost all sunsets are aesthetically pleasing". An almost minimalistic photo like this with lines as the main feature, must be perfectly composed and that means ending lines in corners and not cutting of triangle corners. A few steps to the left here would have made this so much more interesting. --Cart (talk) 16:23, 7 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Its a sunrise from above the clouds, I don't think that's quite generic tbh. I, for one, have yet to see one myself. :) UnpetitproleX (Talk) 19:03, 7 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comment It is difficult to get a sense of scale, though it seems that there is a person (blurry) in top left on the hill. - ERcheck (talk) 03:24, 8 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
There are two (possibly three) people, actually. All on left side: one in the distance, with back to camera, one a bit closer, behind grass and facing the camera. A third possible person is the dark blob, though it could also be a rock. UnpetitproleX (Talk) 03:33, 8 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Info So I've played nice for a while here, which means it's time for an odd/outrageous/non-conforming nomination. Like I sometimes do, I like to introduce photography styles that have not yet made their way to FPC. This time it's Cinematic style photography, which means that the light, colors and composition are edited in a way that makes it look like a still from a movie. Sometimes these photos are edited to emulate the style of a specific movie (Blade runner, The Matrix or any movies that contain rainy neon lights in Tokyo, etc. are popular) or the work of a director (like the "Accidentally Wes Anderson" we have in another nom). My nom here is using the orange-blue "light doping" that is so popular in say crime or action movies, to transform an ordinary aisle at IKEA into a place where it looks like you might expect a fight to take place. :) Probably a nom that will go down in flames, but it's fun to make these photos once in a while.

Self-serve aisle with pallet racking shelves in IKEA store in Torp köpcentrum, Uddevalla, Sweden, edited in cinematic style using normal functions in Lightroom. No "ready-made" filters or settings used. All by me, -- Cart (talk) 13:46, 7 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

If I may make a comment in between. Thank you, Cart, I really appreciate it when people here sometimes deviate from the rather sober line (not meant in a derogatory way). It's not easy to present a different style, but it's good because it also encourages and establishes creativity. Admittedly, it is a tightrope walk, because photo editing can quickly appear too artificial. Your photo here is a very good way of not looking too artificial, but presenting an impressive photo. --XRay 💬 07:43, 8 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Support Cool idea, and yes, I immediately thought of Blade Runner. Cmao20 (talk) 20:38, 7 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Support Cinematically edited, evoking the tight, claustrophobic corridors of the spaceships in the Alien movies. A powerful, atmospheric image that transforms the ordinary into something striking. -- Radomianin (talk) 23:34, 7 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - When I first looked at the image, before reading Cart's description, my first thought was of Raiders of the Lost Ark warehouse. Smiled when I read "emulating the style of a specific movie". While the style is not the same, the feeling is. - ERcheck (talk) 03:33, 8 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
That classic scene is hard not to have somewhere in the back of your head when you're editing a photo of a warehouse. :-) --Cart (talk) 03:37, 8 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Movie references (spoiler)
:My first thought was You've Got Mail (I can hear Meg Ryan's voice), which of course was referring to The Godfather.- ERcheck (talk) 05:45, 8 June 2025 (UTC) — That earns you one point for the quote film, another one for the film quoting the quote, and finally one point for answering this in a stylish way. --Cart (talk) 12:11, 8 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Info created and uploaded by Poco a poco, nominated by Yann
Info Common sole (Solea solea), Arrábida National Park, Portugal. It lives on the sandy or muddy seabed of the northern Atlantic and the Mediterranean Sea where it often partially immerses itself in the substrate. The small eyes are close to each other on the right side of the body. This gives the fish the possibility of lurking half-buried in the sand for passing prey. The common sole, just like all other flatfishes, hatches as an "ordinary" fish with one eye on each side of the body. The young metamorphose to flatfish begins when they are about one centimeter long. It grows to a maximum length of about 70 centimetres (28 in).

Support The QR code on the sign doesn't bother me at all. It just is what it is. If anything I quite like that someone in some conservation department put up a sign so that curious people can find out more about their surroundings. The composition is lovely and so is the light. A flaw is that the highlights have been lowered too much in an attempt to recover detail that isn't there, meaning that what ought to be bright white is a dull grey.

Info Shrimp and crayfish boat LL-25 MiTina turning into her home harbor in Norra Grundsund, Lysekil Municipality, Sweden.

Standing on the jetty taking photos, I noticed the boat was approaching the harbor a bit faster than I thought it might, also taking the turn into the harbor a bit sharper than it should throwing up a good bow wave and backwash. After it had moored I jokingly commented on this to the captain. He said that he saw me on the jetty with my camera and was showing off to give me a good photo. :) After editing the photo, I sent a copy of it to the boat's internet page and gave them the rights to use it as they pleased.

Neutral Nice photo with high quality but the composition does not convince me completey. Looking at the driving direction of the ship it should be placed much more to the right (at 2/3 from the left and not at 1/3 as you've choosen - for me it looks a bit unbalanced. Otherwise the color contrast between ship/water to the rock in the background is nice and also the traces on the water. Thus: too good to oppose :) --Tuxyso (talk) 06:59, 7 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Using Lead room is what we usually do/need for photos of vehicles, but that doesn't apply for action shots of moving objects where we have something behind whatever is moving to indicate speed and direction. It's the same for boats, ships, airplanes, rockets or tractors. Take a look at a mockup of this MiTina photo, and how it would look with your 2/3 placing. The boat still looks nice, but it slows the boat down considerably and cuts off the interesting backwash and trail in the sea. It's a good shot of a boat, but not an action shot. To indicate speed in a photo, we like to see the mess left behind the vehicle as it appears to burst out from the frame. --Cart (talk) 11:35, 7 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Cmao20 (talk) 23:20, 6 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Quality does not convince me. If the light conditions are not good enough for a hand-held shot, just take a tripod. The photo also has remarkable border unsharpness - extermely visible at the left side. Regarding noise: Even if it's a 41 MP photo, that doesn't stop anyone from applying a proper noise reduction technique to a RAW image - for example the AI-based NR in Lightroom. All in all: For me not enough effort is done here to make the photo an FP. --Tuxyso (talk) 07:06, 7 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Done @Tuxyso: I have applied NR to the sky and the distant hills on the left. Also, cropped a small strip on the left to remove the unsharp tree etc. Hope this is better. --Tagooty (talk) 10:06, 8 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

- Thanks for your effort, Tagooty. The noise on the sky is now much better managed. But for the noise level on the detail areas is (the trees, the buildings) is still too high. If you have the possibility I suggest to give the very good AI-based NR-technique of LR a try. --Tuxyso (talk) 06:56, 9 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose I'm sorry, while it is a good documentary photo and a worthy VI, it doesn't give me that wow-feeling I expect from an FP. The best thing this photo has going for it is the display of the Belt of Venus and now with the cut, some of that is gone. The general light is flat and makes the buildings look glary. As is often with a subject divided into two parts, leaving a void in the middle, I think it would have been better to make the framing around the left part of the village and the pink glow in the background. Take in too much and you often lose the image. (crop suggestion for an 'Alt'? It's big enough for this.) --Cart (talk) 12:49, 8 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comment This is a very nice little waterfall. However, I think you shouldn't be afraid to keep some of the shadows and black hues in the image. In this I've made a few tweaks to the exposure, reduced saturation and luminosity a bit, deepening some shadows, adjusted white balance a couple of clicks and tweaked the highlights. For me that gives the photo a more "3D look". Use it if you like or take some pointers from it. Best, --Cart (talk) 14:09, 6 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Support Been thinking about this for a long time now, and it is a very moving photo of very good quality taken at what must have been a rather chaotic event. It's a document of an historic event that I think should be preserved and featured in its entirety, after that people can use it as a base for other crops. Sure, we featured Heroico instead of the original, but that was mostly because the cropped version is the best one known and mostly used. I don't see any similar precedence with this. --Cart (talk) 12:03, 5 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - The above version is itself cropped. On EmmettTillExhibit.org, which was created in partnership with the Till family, The Emmett Till & Mamie Till-Mobley Institute, the Emmett Till Interpretive Center, and The Children's Museum of Indianapolis, see Image 16. In that "original" photo, Till's grandfather is also in the photo. As such, if one accepts a crop from the right, accepting a crop from the left (which is actually not taking out key people), would seem acceptable. - ERcheck (talk) 15:30, 5 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Now the problem with that is that the full photo, probably from the original negative, is apparently owned some foundation or museum, so we are not sure that one is free to use and can probably not get our hands on it. The cropped photo above on the other hand, is from a paper copy owned by the Smithsonian and we know it is free. This is why so few old iconic photos get promoted. There are often many versions of them floating around and people here are forever quarrelling about which version to promote. (I can't remember how many attempts were made for different versions of Heroico for years.) I still say I vote to promote the whole photo we have and know is free, and let other crops be made from it, instead of mucking things up further. --Cart (talk) 17:04, 5 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Cart, like you I also had a look at the other pictures in the category before nominating this one.

While the colors do well for most of the other motives (and yes, there are really good other shots in this category), this scene still works extremely well in B&W for me. I would like to hear opinions of others on this. Kritzolina (talk) 05:39, 3 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Sure thing! I didn't cast a vote since I don't want to stand in the way for people who really like this B&W version, but I wanted to ask. --Cart (talk) 05:53, 3 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Support I love it. IMHO black and white is great here because it gives the image a timeless and magical effect – could be a scene from some fantasy novel or Middle Ages movie. Works perfectly with the century-old stone walls and houses. One of my absolute favorites after browsing > 7000 images for the international WLF jury. – Aristeas (talk) 07:14, 3 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Support Per Aristeas! Well, apart from browsing 7000+ WLF images, which I didn't do, kudos for the hard work :) --Julesvernex2 (talk) 18:50, 3 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose black/white does not convince be for a photo showing carneval. At the first glance I though the photo is a scan from a 50 year old camera. Taking into consideration that a state-of-the-art camera (Fuji X-T5) was used here the quality is only average and does not reach the FP bar here. --Tuxyso (talk) 06:54, 7 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I may risk being uncharitable here but I struggle to understand how this picture, which is almost completely lacking in detail at full size, gets rave reviews from you whereas my nomination gets an oppose vote for 'lack of detail'. Cmao20 (talk) 00:03, 2 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Support Kingfishers are great subjects. Acroterion (talk) 12:41, 1 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The comments below are valid criticisms, thank you for highlighting them. They should also be curable to enhance the image to FP expectations both technically and aesthetically. ROCKY, is it possible to induce the uploader to upload a less-aggressively-processed version? They appear to have been active in March. Acroterion (talk) 17:06, 1 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose A beautiful and difficult shot, regrettably ruined by excessive sharpening and noise reduction --Julesvernex2 (talk) 14:39, 1 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Weak oppose Sadly, I have to agree with Julesvernex2. It's unfortunate that excessive sharpening and denoising have resulted in a washed-out and overly uniform look – many details appear lost. With more careful post-processing, especially when using AI-based tools, significantly better results are possible. Perhaps the nominator could kindly ask the author via e-mail whether a new development from the Raw file might be feasible? Best, -- Radomianin (talk) 15:14, 1 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Weak oppose per Jules and Radomianin, so sorry. It always makes me sad when I see that people have great skills and make every effort to achieve wonderful photos, but then damage these images by rash post-processing so that they look like smartphone shots. This is such a stunning photo, it has deserved much better post-processing. Nerd hint: the pattern in some of the OOF drops of water at the top may be caused by the Phase Fresnel (PF) lens element; this is an additional reason why this photo needs careful editing – one should not emphasize that pattern by sharpening.– Aristeas (talk) 16:26, 1 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Ah, good point! This review warns about the risk of getting "Fresnel bokeh" on specular highlights, indeed one more reason to be careful when editing this image Julesvernex2 (talk) 10:02, 2 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Julesvernex2 is right, great capture but very poor quality and overprocessed at full size Cmao20 (talk) 23:58, 1 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Info created, uploaded and nominated by Kritzolina. When I recently visited Prague, I was fascinated by the structures the motion of this sculpture created, especially the colored reflections on its moving pieces in front of the background of utalitarian office buildings. I took several shots of it, this one captures best what I really like about this artwork. -- Kritzolina (talk) 05:50, 31 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Support Very beautiful and carefully composed. Cmao20 (talk) 11:01, 31 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose I find the sculpture of the head pretty coold and FP-worthy but this picture is cluttered. I recognize no head here. Poco a poco (talk) 11:31, 31 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Support Nice close-up of this kinetic (as in constantly moving) sculpture. For those who have not read Kafka, this transforming work is a nod to his most famous book, The Metamorphosis, where one morning, ordinary salesman Gregor Samsa wakes up to find himself transformed into a giant cockroach. No normal human head needs to be visible, Kafka was a pretty warped guy. --Cart (talk) 12:24, 31 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Don't forget that Kafka was also a pretty funny guy and we know that he laughed at his own writings [2]. I really like that about him. Kritzolina (talk) 05:59, 1 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Support The photo artfully captures the abstract quality of the sculpture. The dynamic movement and vibrant color reflections contrast vividly with the adjacent facade. The result is an eye-catching interplay between the kinetic sculpture detail and the urban architecture. -- Radomianin (talk) 13:44, 31 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Support Most unusual. Photographing shiny objects is difficult, and it is well done here. Yann (talk) 16:06, 31 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Support The photos perfectly shows how the complex surface of the sculpture reflects and distorts the reality around in countless facets; just like Kafka’s work, while it may appear fantastic at the first glance, reflects the countless facets of human society. – Aristeas (talk) 18:53, 31 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
