  •  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).

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. I figured, "one good turn deserves another". They still use this photo on social media and other things. :) All by me, -- Cart (talk) 21:46, 5 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  •  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]
  •  Support Анастасия Львоваru/en 20:16, 3 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support --Kritzolina (talk) 05:44, 5 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]
    I full-heartedly agree with Cart here! Kritzolina (talk) 17:46, 5 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.

  •  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]

Her listes billeder som du ikke længere synes fortjener at være det. Da trænges to tredels majoritet (og mindst fem stemmer) som er enig i at fjerne statussen fra billedet. Eftersom ikke to tredele af stemmerne er enig i at fjerne statussen, bliver den beholdt. Her stemmer man med {{keep}} (behold billedet som fremragende) eller {{delist}} (billedet fortjener ikke længere at være fremragende). Når du nominerer et billede her, tag med linket til den oprindelige nomination (den findes under Links på billedtes beskrivelsesside. Brug dette link for at lægge til en fjerningskandidat.

  •  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).

  • Yes. I think this one is more interesting, as it shows the whole fish, not only the head. And in the other one, the fish is buried in the sand. Yann (talk) 09:31, 7 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

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. I figured, "one good turn deserves another". They still use this photo on social media and other things. :) All by me, -- Cart (talk) 21:46, 5 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  •  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]

  •  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]

  •  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]

    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]

  •  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]
