Ehdottaminen

[edit]

Ohjeita ehdottajille

[edit]

Lue läpi Commons:Image guidelines ennen kuvan ehdottamista.

Alla on yhteenveto siitä, mitä tulee tarkastella arvioidessa kuvan sopivuutta suositelluksi kuvaksi:

  • Resoluutio – Yleensä kuvat, joiden resoluutio on alle kaksi megapikseliä, on hylätty. Alle kahden megapikselin kuva voidaan hyväksyä vain poikkeustapauksessa. Huomaa, että kuvassa, jonka resoluutio on 1 600 × 1 200, on noin 1,92 megapikseliä, joten se on kelvoton.
Commonsissa sijaitsevia kuvia voidaan käyttää muuhunkin kuin tietokoneen näytöllä katselemiseen. Niitä voidaan tulostaa tai katsella suurella resoluutiolla olevilla monitoreilla. Emme voi ennustaa, millaisia laitteistot tulevat olemaan tulevaisuudessa, joten kuvan tulee olla niin suurella resoluutiolla kuin mahdollista.
  • Fokus – kuvan tärkeimpien kohteiden tulisi olla teräviä.
  • Edusta ja tausta – edustalla ja taustalla olevat asiat voivat olla häiritseviä. Tarkista, että edustalla olevat kohteet eivät peitä mitään kuvan kannalta tärkeää ja taustalla olevat kohteet eivät pilaa asetelmaa, esimerkiksi katuvalo ei näytä tulevan jonkun päästä.
  • Tekninen korkealaatuisuus – suositellun kuvan tulee olla teknisesti korkealaatuinen.
  • Digitaaliset manipulaatiot eivät saa vetää nenästä kuvan katsojaa. Kuvassa olevien kauneusvirheiden korjaaminen on sallittua, jos korjaus on tehty hyvin ja sen tarkoituksena ei ole vääristää kuvaa. Hyväksyttäjä manipulaatioita ovat rajaus, perspektiivin oikaisu, terävöittäminen, sumentaminen ja valotuksen sekä värien korjailu. Monimutkaisemmat manipulaatiot ovat sallittuja vain, jos mallinetta {{Retouched picture}} käytetään kuvaussivulla. Kuvauksettomat tai väärin kuvatut monimutkaiset manipulaatiot ovat kiellettyjä.
  • Arvo – päätavoitteenamme on erottaa arvokkaimmat kuvat muista. Suositellun kuvan tulee olla jotenkin erikoinen.
    • Auringonlaskuista otetut valokuvat ovat kaikki vähän samanlaisia (Valokuvia)(Suomessa otettuja valokuvia)
    • Yökuvat saattavat olla hienompia, mutta päiväkuvista ilmenee yleensä enemmän tietoa
    • Kaunis ei ole sama asia kuin arvokas

Teknisiä yksityiskohtia käsitellään kohdissa valotus, asetelma, liikkeenhallinta ja terävyysalue.

  • Valotus – valotuksella tarkoitetaan valokuvauksessa kameran filmiin tallentuvaa tai digitaalikamerassa valoherkän kennon tallentamaa valon määrää. Valotuksen tulisi olla sopiva. Laajat ylivalottuneet alueet ovat usein häiritseviä.
  • Asetelma – asetelmalla tarkoitetaan kuvan esineiden sijoittumista toisiinsa nähden. ”Kolmoissääntö” (esimerkkikuva) on hyvä nyrkkisääntö siitä, millainen on hyvä asetelma. Kolmoissäännön ideana on, että kuva jaetaan kahdella pystyviivalla ja kahdella vaakaviivalla yhdeksään osaan (3×3). Pääaiheen sijoittaminen tiukasti kuvan keskelle on yleensä huonompi vaihtoehto mielenkiintoisuuden kannalta kuin pääaiheen sijoittaminen johonkin neljästä viivojen muodostamasta risteyksestä. Horisonttia ei tulisi sijoittaa kuvan keskelle, vaan jommankumman viivan keskelle. Kolmoissäännön avulla saadaan luotua dynaaminen kuva.
  • Liikkeenhallinta – liikkeenhallinnalla tarkoitetaan sitä, miten liike näkyy kuvassa. Liike voi olla terävää tai epätarkkaa. Jompikumpi aina ei ole paras vaihtoehto, vaan tärkeintä on aikomus havainnollistaa jotain. Liike on suhteellista kuvan kohteisiin verrattuna. Esimerkiksi valokuva ralliautosta, joka näyttäisi olevan paikallaan taustaa vasten, on huonompi vaihtoehto kuin valokuva ralliautosta, joka näkyy terävästi, mutta jonka tausta on sumuista, koska tällöin liikkeen huomaa helposti. Tätä kutsutaan ”panoroinniksi”. Toisaalta valokuva hyppäävästä koripallon pelaajasta, joka näyttää olevan paikallaan taustaa vasten, on hyvä sen epäluonnollisuuden takia.
  • Terävyysalue – terävyysalueella tarkoitetaan kuvan kohteen terävyyttä ympäristöön verrattuna. Terävyysalue valitaan jokaisen kuvan kohdalla erikseen. Suuri tai pieni terävyysalue voi huonontaa tai parantaa kuvan laatua. Pientä terävyysaluetta voidaan käyttää erottamaan pääkohde muusta ympäristöstä. Näin katsojan huomio kiinnittyy haluttuun kohteeseen. Suurta terävyysaluetta voidaan taas käyttää tilan havainnollistamiseen. Lähtökohtaisesti syväterävyysalue muodostuu sitä lyhyemmäksi, mitä suurempaa aukkoarvoa valokuvaaja käyttää. Vastaavasti pientä aukkoarvoa käytettäessä syväterävyysalue voi ulottua kuvan etualalta äärettömään. Aukon arvon lisäksi syväterävyysalueeseen vaikuttaa kuitenkin myös objektiivin todellinen polttoväli ja toisaalta kohteen etäisyys kuvaajasta.

Alla käsitellään vielä grafiikkaa.

  • Terävyys – pääkohteiden ääriviivojen on oltava teräviä.
  • Kolmiulotteisuus – kolmiulotteisuuden on oltava laadukasta. Parhaiten tämä onnistuu siten, että valo tulee kohteen sivulta. Yleensä kuvaajasta päin tuleva valo ei onnistu luomaan kunnollista kolmiulotteista vaikutelmaa, vaan se johtaa litteään vaikutelmaan. Paras valo ulkona on aamulla tai illalla.
  • Värit – värit eivät saa olla liian kylläisiä.
  • Tekstuuri – kohteen pinnan on oltava kolmiulotteisen näköinen ja laadukas.
  • Perspektiivi – kuvan tulee olla kolmiulotteinen.
  • Tasapaino – kuvan kohteiden tulisi olla tasapainossa keskenään. Suurta määrää kohteita ei tulisi jommallakummalla puolella.
  • Mittasuhde – mittasuhteella tarkoitetaan kuvan kohteiden kokoa toisiinsa verrattuna. Yleensä meillä taipumus esittää pienet kohteet pieninä, mutta toisaalta pienen kohteen esittäminen suurena luonnossa suurta kohdetta vasten on myös hyvä tekniikka, esimerkiksi kukan esittäminen vuorta vasten.
  • Symbolinen tarkoitus – huono kuva vaikeasta aiheesta on parempi kuin hyvä kuva helposta aiheesta.
Valokuvaaja ja/tai sen katselija voivat tarkastella kuvan kohdetta puolueellisesti. Kuvan arvoa ei tulisi arvioida arvioijan kulttuurillisen taustan perusteella, vaan se tulisi arvioida kuvan kulttuurillisen taustan perusteella. Hyvä kuva ”puhuu” katsojalle herättäen sellaisia tunteita kuin ilo, sympatia, herkkyys, suru, inho, viha ja raivo. Hyvän kuvan herättämät tunteet eivät ole vain positiivisia.

Käytäntö

[edit]

Yleiset säännöt

[edit]
  1. Äänestys on auki tasan yhdeksän vuorokautta ehdotuksen tekemisen jälkeen.
  2. Käyttäjätunnuksettomat käyttäjät saavat ehdottaa ja keskustella, mutta eivät äänestää.
  3. Ehdotus ei ole ääni. Ääni on annettava erikseen.
  4. Ehdottaja voi vetää ehdotuksen pois lisäämällä {{withdraw|~~~~}} äänestyssivulle.
  5. Wikimedia Commons ei ole vain Wikipedian kuvavarasto, joten kuvia ei tule arvioida vain Wikipediaan soveltuvuuden perusteella.
  6. Jos kuva ei saa muita kannattavia ääniä kuin ehdottajan viiden vuorokauden kuluessa ehdotuksen tekemisestä, poistoäänestys tulee lopettaa.
  7. Mallineella {{FPX}} merkitty poistoäänestys tulee lopettaa 24 tunnin kuluttua mallineen lisäämisestä, jos muita kannatusääniä kuin ehdottajan ei ole.

Statuksen muutos

[edit]

Kuvasta tulee suositeltu kuva, jos se täyttää seuraavat vaatimukset:

  1. Kuvaussivulla on hyväksytty ja totuudenmukainen tekijänoikeusmalline
  2. Vähintään viisi kannatusääntä
  3. Vähintään kaksi kolmasosaa äänistä kannattavia
  4. Saman kuvan eri versiosta vain yksi saa olla suositeltu kuva. Siitä kuvasta, joka on kerännyt eniten kannattavia ääniä, tulee suositeltu kuva.

Statuksen poistoehdotuksen kohdalla sovelletaan samoja sääntöjä. Jos statuksen poistoa kannattavia ääniä ei ole tullut ehdottajan äänen lisäksi viiden vuorokauden kuluessa ehdotuksen teosta, äänestys tulee sulkea.

Ohjeita äänestyksen lopettamisesta on sivulla Commons:Featured picture candidates/What to do after voting is finished.

Arvostele hyvien tapojen mukaisesti

[edit]

Muista, että kuva jota kommentoit on jonkun tekemä. Älä käytä sellaista tyyliä kommenteissasi kuin ”Vihaan kuvaa”, ”Kuva on ihan ruma” tai ”Kamala kuva”.

  •  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.

  • 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]

  •  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).

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.

  •  Support and I hope no one complains about the noise - this is a 41 megapixel image under low light conditions and we should be grateful to the nominator for uploading in full size rather than complaining about a bit of noise and adding noise reduction to ruin all the nice details. 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]
    • 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]

Mamie Till at Emmett Till's funeral
  • @JayCubby - I did remove my vote as I ponder this a bit more. I experimented with cropping the photo and found it to be much more evocative, though found it difficult to get it "just right". I tried the crop on the left to just enough to remove nearest gentleman's face, leaving the full expression of the other man; and, a crop from the right to remove the sliver of the person next to the woman with her arm raised. But, per Cart, I'm wary of advocating for that change. - ERcheck (talk) 05:39, 3 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

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]

  •  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.

  • 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]

  •  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).

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.

  •  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]
    • 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]

  • @JayCubby - I did remove my vote as I ponder this a bit more. I experimented with cropping the photo and found it to be much more evocative, though found it difficult to get it "just right". I tried the crop on the left to just enough to remove nearest gentleman's face, leaving the full expression of the other man; and, a crop from the right to remove the sliver of the person next to the woman with her arm raised. But, per Cart, I'm wary of advocating for that change. - ERcheck (talk) 05:39, 3 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
