Formalien[edit]

Nominierung[edit]

Leitsätze für die Nominierung[edit]

Bitte lies alle Leitsätze (Englisch) vor der Nominierung.

Dies ist eine Zusammenfassung von Kriterien, auf die du bei der Einreichung und Bewertung von Exzellenz-Kandidaten achten solltest:

  • Auflösung – Fotografien mit einer Auflösung unter 2 Millionen Pixel werden in der Regel abgelehnt, außer unter „stark mildernden Umständen“. Beachte, dass ein 1600 x 1200 großes Foto 1,92 Megapixel hat und damit weniger als 2 Millionen.
Grafiken auf Commons können auch in anderen Weisen als zur Anzeige auf einen herkömmlichen Computerbildschirm verwendet werden. Sie können auch als Ausdruck oder zur Anzeige auf hochauflösenden Bildschirmen verwendet werden. Man kann nicht vorhersagen, welche Geräte in Zukunft Anwendung finden, deshalb ist es wichtig, dass die nominierten Bilder die höchstmögliche Auflösung haben.
  • Eingescannte Bilder – solange es keine offizielle Richtlinie gibt, findet man unter Help:Scannen für verschiedene Typen von Bildern Hinweise für die Vorbereitung, die hilfreich sein können.
  • Fokus – jedes wichtige Objekt im Bild sollte normalerweise scharf sein.
  • Vordergrund und Hintergrund – Objekte im Vorder- und Hintergrund können stören. Kontrolliere, ob etwas vor dem Motiv des Bildes wichtige Elemente verdeckt. Auch soll nichts im Hintergrund die Komposition verderben, zum Beispiel eine Straßenlampe, die über dem Kopf einer abgebildeten Person „steht“.
  • Allgemeine Qualität – nominierte Bilder sollten von hoher technischer Qualität sein.
  • Digitale Manipulationen betrügen nicht in jedem Fall den Betrachter. Digitale Nachbearbeitungen, um Fehler von Fotografien zu korrigieren, sind allgemein akzeptiert, vorausgesetzt, sie sind begrenzt und gut gemacht, ohne dabei betrügen zu wollen. Akzeptiert werden normalerweise Beschneiden, perspektivische Korrekturen, Schärfen und Verwischen sowie Farb- und Belichtungskorrekturen. Umfangreichere Korrekturen wie das Entfernen von störenden Hintergrundobjekten sollten in der Bildbeschreibung mit Hilfe der Vorlage {{Retouched picture}} klar beschrieben werden. Nicht oder falsch beschriebenen Manipulationen, die dazu führen, dass das Hauptmotiv falsch dargestellt wird, sind unter keinen Umständen akzeptabel.
  • Wert – unser Hauptziel ist das Hervorheben der wertvollsten Bilder von allen anderen. Bilder sollten irgendwie etwas Besonderes sein. Darum sei dir bewusst, dass:
    • nahezu jeder Sonnenuntergang ästhetisch ansprechend ist und die meisten keinen wesentlichen Unterschied aufweisen zu anderen,
    • Nachtaufnahmen hübsch sind, aber dass man normalerweise mit Aufnahmen bei Tag mehr Details zeigen kann,
    • schön nicht immer wertvoll bedeuten muss.

Auf der fachlichen Seite gibt es die Belichtung, die Komposition, die Bewegungskontrolle und die Fokustiefe zu beachten.

  • Belichtung bezieht sich auf die Verschluss-Blende-Kombination, die ein Bild mit einer Tonkurve wiedergibt. Idealerweise bildet diese Tonkurve in akzeptabler Genauigkeit Schatten- und Spitzlichtbereiche im Bild ab. Dies nennt man „Belichtungsspielraum“. Bilder können im niedrigen Teil der Tonkurve (unterer Bereich), im mittleren (mittlerer Bereich) oder hohen Teil (oberer Bereich) liegen. Digitale Kameras (oder Bilder) haben einen engeren Belichtungsspielraum als Fotofilme. Fehlende Genauigkeit im Schattenbereich ist nicht unbedingt ein Nachteil. Tatsächlich kann dies ein gewünschter Effekt sein. Eingebrannte Spitzenlichter sind dagegen ein störendes Element.
  • Komposition bezieht sich auf die Anordnung der Elemente im Bild selbst. Die „Drittel-Regel“ ist ein guter Grundsatz für die Komposition und ein Erbe der Gemäldemalerei. Die Idee ist, das Bild mit jeweils zwei horizontalen und zwei vertikalen Linien zu teilen. Dadurch wird das Bild in horizontale und vertikale Drittel geteilt. Das Motiv im Zentrum des Bildes zu platzieren, ist oft weniger interessant, als es auf einem der vier Schnittpunkte der horizontalen und vertikalen Schnittlinien zu platzieren. Der Horizont sollte eigentlich niemals in der Mitte des Bildes liegen, wo er das Bild in zwei Hälften „teilt“. Die obere oder untere horizontale Linie ist oft eine gute Wahl. Der Hauptgedanke ist, den Raum zu nutzen, um ein dynamisches Bild zu schaffen.
  • Bewegungskontrolle bezieht sich auf die Weise, wie die Bewegung im Bild abgebildet wird. Die Bewegung kann stillstehend oder verschwommen sein. Weder das eine noch das andere ist besser; es kommt auf den Zweck der Aufnahme an. Bewegung ist relativ innerhalb der Objekte des Bildes. Zum Beispiel vermittelt uns das Fotografieren eines relativ zum Hintergrund stillstehenden Rennwagens kein Gefühl für das Tempo oder die Bewegung. Also zwingt uns die Fototechnik, das Motiv stillstehend vor verschwommenem Hintergrund abzubilden, wodurch ein Gefühl für die Bewegung entsteht. Dies nennt man „Schwenken“. Andererseits kann eine Aufnahme eines im Vergleich zur Umgebung stillstehenden Basketballspielers während eines hohen Sprunges das „Unnatürliche“ der Natur dieser Pose sichtbar machen.
  • Fokustiefe (DOF – Depth Of Field) bezieht sich auf den Fokusbereich vor und hinter dem Hauptmotiv. Die Fokustiefe wird abhängig von den spezifischen Erfordernissen jedes Bildes gewählt. Große oder kleine Fokustiefe kann auf die eine oder andere Weise die Qualität der Aufnahme vergrößern oder schmälern. Geringe Fokustiefe kann die Aufmerksamkeit auf das Hauptmotiv des Bildes lenken, das Hauptmotiv erscheint dadurch von seiner Umgebung gelöst. Hohe Fokustiefe bringt Abstände zwischen Motiven zur Geltung. Objektive mit kurzer Brennweite (Weitwinkel) ergeben eine hohe Fokustiefe, umgekehrt haben Objektive mit langer Brennweite (Teleobjektive) eine flache Fokustiefe. Kleine Blendenöffnungen bringen große Fokustiefe, und umgekehrt große Blendenöffnungen bringen flache Fokustiefen.

Bei den grafischen Elementen gibt es Form, Volumen, Farbe, Struktur, Perspektive, Balance, Proportion, usw.

  • Form bezieht sich auf den Umriss des Hauptmotivs.
  • Volumen bezieht sich die dreidimensionale Qualität des Motivs. Diese wird durch Seitenlicht herausgebildet. Im Gegenteil zum allgemeinen Glauben ist Frontbeleuchtung nicht die beste Wahl. Frontbeleuchtung lässt das Motiv abflachen. Das beste Tageslicht hat man am frühen Morgen oder nachmittags.
  • Farbe ist wichtig. Übersättigte Farben sind nicht gut.
  • Struktur bezieht sich auf die Oberflächenqualität des Motivs. Diese wird durch Seitenbeleuchtung verbessert.
  • Perspektive bezieht sich auf den „Grad“ zusammen mit Linien, die in einen Fluchtpunkt innerhalb oder außerhalb des Bildes enden.
  • Balance bezieht sich auf die Anordnung der Motive innerhalb des Bildes, die entweder das scheinbar gleiche Gewicht haben oder schwerer auf einer Seite erscheinen.
  • Proportion bezieht sich auf die Größenunterschiede der Objekte im Bild. Normalerweise tendieren wir dazu, kleine Gegenstände klein im Vergleich zu anderen darzustellen. Eine gute Methode kann aber sein, kleine Objekte groß im Gegensatz zu wirklichen Größenverhältnissen abzubilden. Zum Beispiel: Eine kleine Blume überwiegt gegenüber einem großen Berg. Dies nennt man Maßstabsinversion.
Nicht alle Elemente müssen berücksichtigt werden. Einige Fotografien können anhand individueller Eigenschaften beurteilt werden. Für ein Bild kann die Farbe oder die Struktur wichtig sein, oder Farbe und Strukur, usw.
  • Symbolische Aussage oder Relevanz…. Der Meinungskrieg kann hier beginnen…. Ein schlechtes Bild von einem sehr schwierigen Motiv ist ein besseres Bild als ein gutes Bild von einem gewöhnlichen Motiv. Ein gutes Bild von einem schwierigen Motiv ist ein außergewöhnliches Foto.
Bilder können kulturell beeinflusst sein durch den Fotografen und/oder den Betrachter. Die Bedeutung des Bildes sollte vor dem kulturellen Hintergrund des Bildes beurteilt werden, nicht durch den kulturellen Hintergrund des Betrachters. Ein Bild „spricht“ zu Menschen und hat die Möglichkeit, Emotionen auszulösen, wie zum Beispiel Zärtlichkeit, Zorn, Ablehnung, Heiterkeit, Traurigkeit usw. Gute Fotografen sind nicht darauf beschränkt, gefällige Emotionen zu provozieren.

Um die Chancen für einen Erfolg deiner Nominierung zu erhöhen, lies vor der Nominierung alle Leitsätze.

Abwahlkandidaten der exzellenten Bilder aufstellen[edit]

Mit der Zeit ändern sich die Standards für die Exzellenten Bilder. Es kann entschieden werden, dass Bilder, die vorher „gut genug“ für die Exzellenten waren, es nicht mehr sind. Dies ist zum Aufstellen eines Bildes, welches deiner Meinung nach es nicht mehr verdient, exzellent zu sein. Dazu wähle mit

  • {{Keep}}  Keep (das Bild verdient es immer noch, als exzellent zu gelten) oder mit
  • {{Delist}}  Delist (das Bild verdient es nicht mehr, als exzellent zu gelten).

Wenn du denkst, dass ein Bild nicht mehr den Exzellenz-Kriterien entspricht, kannst du es für die Abwahl nominieren, indem du den Bildnamen in dieses Textfeld (einschließlich des Zusatzes Image:) hinter den bereits stehenden Text im Feld kopierst:


In der eben erstellten neuen Seite für die Nomination des Abwahlkandidaten solltest du einfügen:

  • Informationen über den Ursprung des Bildes (Ersteller, Uploader),
  • Einen Link zur originalen Exzellenz-Kandidatur-Seite (es erscheint unter „Links“ auf der Beschreibungsseite),
  • Deine Begründung für die Nominierung und dein Benutzername.

Danach musst du einen Link zu der erstellten Seite oben auf der Seite mit der Liste der Abwahlkandidaten manuell einfügen.

Richtlinien für Exzellenz-Kandidaten[edit]

Allgemeine Regeln[edit]

  1. Nach dem Ende des Abstimmungs-Zeitraumes wird das Ergebnis am Tag 10 nach der Nominierung festgestellt (im Zeitplan weiter unten gezeigt). Also dauert der Abstimmungs-Zeitraum 9 Tage, plus die Stunden bis zum Ende von Tag 9. Stimmen, die an Tag 10 oder danach abgeben wurden, werden nicht gezählt.
  2. Nominierungen von anonymen Mitwirkenden sind erwünscht.
  3. Mitwirken bei Diskussionen von anonymen Mitwirkenden sind erwünscht.
  4. Nur Nutzer mit einem commons-account, der mindestens 10 Tage alt ist und 50 Beiträge hat, können wählen. Ausnahme: Die eigene Nominierung kann gewählt werden, unabhängig von Alter und Beiträge.
  5. Die Nominierung zählt nicht als Stimme. Unterstützung muss explizit angegeben werden.
  6. Nominierungen können vom Einsteller jederzeit zurückgezogen werden. Dies geschieht einfach durch das Schreiben von „I withdraw my nomination“ (eng. Ich ziehe meine Nominierung zurück)
    oder durch Hinzufügen von {{withdraw}} ~~~~.
  7. Denke daran, das Ziel von Wikimedia Commons ist es, einen zentralen Speicher für freie Bilder, genutzt von allen Wikimedia-Projekten, bereitzustellen, einschließlich für mögliche zukünftige Projekte. Dies ist nicht einfach ein Speicher für Wikipedia-Bilder, deshalb sollten hier die Bilder nicht danach beurteilt werden, ob sie zu diesem Projekt passen.
  8. Bilder können vorzeitig am Tag 5 (fünfter Tag nach der Nominierung) von der Abstimmungsliste genommen werden („Regel des 5. Tages“):
    1. Wenn sie keine Unterstützung erhalten, die Einsteller nicht mitgezählt.
    2. Wenn sie 10 oder mehr Pro und kein Kontra erhalten haben.
  9. Bilder, welche durch die Vorlage {{FPX}} markiert wurden, können 48 Stunden, nachdem die Vorlage gesetzt wurde, von der Liste entfernt werden, vorausgesetzt, das Bild hat außer von den Einstellern keine positiven Stimmen (Unterstützung) erhalten.
  10. Bilder, welche durch die Vorlage {{FPD}} (FP denied) markiert wurden, können 48 Stunden, nachdem die Vorlage gesetzt wurde, von der Liste entfernt werden.
  11. Es dürfen von einem Benutzer maximal 2 Nominierungen gleichzeitig platziert werden.

Regeln zur Wahl und Abwahl[edit]

Ein Kandidat wird in die Galerie der exzellenten Bilder aufgenommen, wenn folgende Bedingungen erfüllt sind:

  1. Passende Lizenz (selbstverständlich)
  2. Mindestens 7 positive Stimmen (Pro-Stimmen)
  3. Das Verhältnis von unterstützenden zu ablehnenden Stimmen ist mindestens 2/1 (eine Zwei-Drittel-Mehrheit)
  4. Zwei verschiedene Versionen desselben Bildes können nicht beide exzellent werden, sondern nur das mit der höheren Zahl an Stimmen.

Die Abwahl-Regeln sind dieselben wie zur Wahl der exzellenten Bilder bei gleichbleibenden Abstimmungs-Zeitraum. Die Regel des 5. Tages gilt für Abwahlkandidaten, die keine Stimme für die Aberkennung des Exzellenz-Status' bis zum Tag 5 erhalten haben, außer die des Antragstellers.

Ein erfahrener Nutzer kann die Anfrage beenden. Wie man eine Anfrage beendet, siehe unter Commons:Kandidaten für exzellente Bilder/Was tun, wenn der Abstimmungszeitraum zu Ende ist.

Vor allem sei freundlich[edit]

Bitte bedenke, dass das Bild, das du beurteilst, das wohlüberlegte Werk von jemandem ist. Vermeide Phrasen wie „it looks terrible“ (eng. sieht schrecklich aus) oder „I hate it“ (eng. Ich hasse es). Wenn du dagegen Stellung nehmen musst, tu dies bitte mit Rücksichtnahme. Bedenke außerdem, dass deine Englischkenntnisse nicht die gleichen sein müssen wie die eines anderen. Wähle deine Worte sorgfältig.

Viel Spaß beim Bewerten …, und denke daran: Alle Regeln können gebrochen werden.

The word "crop" can also mean "framing" in photography terms. No actual cutting of the image needs to have been made. It simply refers to the way the photographer has selected the scene. Since you are new here (like you wrote on another nom), there might be photo terms that are unfamiliar to you. You find most of them at COM:PT. --Cart (talk) 19:16, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Commons is just an archive for photos; very few photos are "used" here. The photos kept here are used in Wikipedias all over the world, as well as all the Wiki sister projects, schools, museums, organisations, and thousands of others that get their photos from Commons. Commons is like a "stock photo site" where images can be used for free if you credit the photographer. --Cart (talk) 19:25, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Info Purple martin in flight, slowing down as it approaches its nest. Spent a long time try to get a sharp photo of these very fast birds -- I was happy with this one.
    Note: I tried something with the sky that I haven't attempted before, pulling a cloud from another shot taken at the same place at the same time from roughly the same direction. I don't know if that's too much retouching for FPC, but erring on the side of disclosure (it didn't affect the bird itself -- just improved the background a little). all by — Rhododendrites talk |  23:36, 18 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    • Why can't we? Restricting FP to the rules of photojournalism and photo contests would leave out a bunch of interesting candidates. Julesvernex2 (talk) 21:40, 20 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    • You have never manipulated a background (or a foreground)? All of the out-of-focus twigs, distracting leaves, bird/bug-specks in the background, etc. that you've photographed -- you've never removed them? Pay no mind to extraordinary feats of AI-enabled sharpening, AI-based denoising, selective tone adjustments, and all other manner of post-processing, but add a cloud (a cloud in the sky at that place and at that time, even) and all of a sudden I've crossed a bright line? I'm not saying it shouldn't matter -- I know it'll go against some people's sensibilities, which is why I highlighted it in the nomination statement, and anyone is free to oppose if they wish -- but this Arbiter of What's Acceptable stuff is too much. — Rhododendrites talk |  21:51, 20 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    • Technically, any panorama which includes sky and clouds will have several spots in the sky where parts are from other neighboring photos, so in fact replaced and often tweaked/reshaped by the processing program to look nice. I can guarantee that the sky never looked exactly like in this image, because it is a product of the program that stitched the panorama. We accept that without question because they are declared as panoramas and we know they are "manipulated". As long as the alteration is openly declared in a very clear manner (which has been made here), I see no problem with entering such photos here at FPC. It's just a matter of classification, and in each case votes can decide how much they are willing to tolerate in an FPC. Ideally it would be great if the original was found in the file's upload history so that we can see each step, I think that would help people decide how they are going to vote. In this case, I suspect there is no great difference. --Cart (talk) 22:17, 20 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
      • For good measure, I've uploaded the version before the sky adjustment and reverted. Note that the uploaded file is also before another pass at tone adjustments/white balancing so it looks slightly different in other [more mundane] ways. — Rhododendrites talk |  22:40, 20 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
        It is indeed a small but surprisingly effective change! A small nitpick: those beautiful steel blue feathers above the eyes got quite a bit duller after the tonal adjustments. Julesvernex2 (talk) 12:18, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Oppose I agree with Charles that heavy-handed manipulations (like sky replacements) applied to images which will be used in a context where the audience can expect a realistic depiction of the subject shouldn't be featured here. As image manipulations seem to come up more often these days, there might be a need for a more in-depth discussion about what's ok and what's not. --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 04:51, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • A discussion has been opened on the FPC talk page. --Cart (talk) 12:07, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • The "heavy-handed manipulation" didn't change the subject at all, so if the point is to ensure a photo of a martin looks like a martin that's irrelevant here. If it's to ensure a martin could be seen in front of a realistic background, the fact that it's the same sky from the same place/time would seem pretty realistic. So what's left is an arbitrary line whereby using AI to manipulate an image's noise/sharpness, stitching images, using content-aware fill, outright removing pieces like disturbing plants and smears, etc. is acceptable and this is not. I would feel less strongly about this if people just said "it offends my photographer's sensibilities in ways that a wide range of other manipulations and 'unrealities' do not" rather than act as though this is unrealistic but the rest of what we see at FPC is completely realistic. — Rhododendrites talk |  13:51, 21 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

SHORT DESCRIPTION
Hi TOUMOU, I see that Rhododendrites has helped you with the categories and fixing the description, thanks for that. Documentation of the photo is just as important for FPC as a good image, so take a look at the changes that have been made on the file page. Good information on the file page will always improve your chances of getting a photo promoted to FP, since info makes it more valuable to the Wiki project. Therefore, would you please add the location to the photo too. If you don't know it, please ask the photographer Skander zarrad. I have fixed the gallery link for you. You need to specify both the right page and the section. When you nominate an image here, you become sort of a "temporary caretaker" of that photo, and it's up to you to make sure everything is fixed and correct. Best, --Cart (talk) 10:57, 19 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Nice photo! Are you sure he is a tanner or has there been a simple mix-up in the translation? A tanner is someone who process the raw hides into leather, a very hazardous and revolting job. After that the leather goes to a currier who dyes and prepare the leather before it can be made into different things by a leather worker. Traditionally, such craftsmen are called "saddlers" even if they make other things from leather than saddles. Perhaps he performs all three professions and we only see one of them (leather working) here in the photo. Love the cat! :-) --Cart (talk) 17:46, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comments about profession depicted
  •  Comment Hi IssamBarhoumi, what a great photo! However, what he is doing is a bit mislabeled. What he is doing is not engraving, but it is very common for people outside the handicraft trade to know the difference. ;-) Engraving is when you cut away material to make patterns (no hammer involved for engraving metals). What he is doing is called chasing, part of the repoussé and chasing techniques used by copper, silver and goldsmiths. Chasing is when you hammer in a pattern into the material, and repoussé is when you hammer out patterns from the backside of the material. I have fixed up the description and the categories for you, but would you mind if the file was renamed too so that is showed the right profession. I'm so happy that we finally have a really good photo for the wiki articles and chasers on Wikidata. Coppersmiths often use many different techniques to make the patterns on their work, and the right terminology for all of them is not easy. Best, --Cart (talk) 15:25, 15 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Young Laarim woman with extensive scarification, Kimotong, South Sudan.NSFWTAG
I checked the case using Google and Wikipedia. The place is some 180 km from Juba, the capital town, it is definitely not a city like London or Tokyo, but it is a town of 490 000+ population, it has airport, banks, schools and university, telecommunication company, TV and shops of electronics, churches of several confessions, etc. There is a school and a clinic in Kimotong. So, I do not think that they are so innocent to not understand the consequences of photography. And I agree that the photo has documentary value and encyclopedic value. LexKurochkin (talk) 07:00, 16 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Excuse me, but do you believe to know better than me where I was? it was not in the city of Kimotong, but a remote village in the province. And that's precisely why we went there. It was not a photo tour behind a mall in Juba. There is no shops, no current, no telecom, no transport or something like that in the area. The closest water well could be 1 hour away by foot. Telling this wiöl surely make no difference and people will believe whatever they want, but whatsoever. Poco a poco (talk) 07:24, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

180 km without any transport means (or public transport options) and with no asphalt roads (a 4x4 is required) is not what you may think of (definitely not a 1 and a half hours smooth drive). In fact, wit a 4x4 we couldn't drive often faster than 30 km/h Poco a poco (talk) 07:26, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Rufous-throated Partridge
Very true! Unfortunately, this is an old problem on FPC. Too many voters who have never tried photographing under difficult conditions, or have no proper understanding of what can be done technically, will think that all photos should have the same quality as a well-lit, stacked church façade or a studio photo. --Cart (talk) 20:01, 14 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Cart's statement comes across as passive-aggressive. If I understand correctly, you are directly placing me in the category of "voters who have never tried photographing under difficult conditions, or have no proper understanding of what can be done technically". That's fine, do you; there's a legitimate reason why I don't post my pictures here, but that doesn't make me any less inadequate. I have no problem with the other responses here, except Cart's. Keep in mind that this is not the first time it has occurred; see here. Wolverine XI 07:29, 15 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
There can be no argument on the settings used. But the criticism in the context of FPC is valid. It is difficult to take an FP-standard image in low light.

    Are you sure it ruins the photo? ★ 15:56, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I wouldn't say ruin. But the scaffolding is too disturbing for an FP. The conditions for an outstanding image of this building were not present at that time. The rising sun is nice to have, but for a FP of this ensemble of buildings, I would forgo it and prefer if important parts of the building are not covered by elements that wouldn't normally belong. BTW, the crop is a bit tight, isn't it? --Milseburg (talk) 16:44, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
     Comment Just a comment (no critic of your vote!). I completely understand the dislike for the scaffolding. Personally I have learned to resign myself with it especially in photographs of very prominent buildings. I have visited Florence, Siena, and Pisa (to mention just the most famous Cathedral towns of Tuscany) each several times, but AFAICR never seen any of the famous cathedrals without scaffolding – when the restoration work was finished at one part, the next part was scaffolded to carry on with the work. The same applies to all major French cathedrals I know. Therefore I am rather happy with photos like this one because it offers at least an almost clean foreground (almost no cars, people, stands/kiosks – all these nasty things which often ruin photos of such buildings). – Aristeas (talk) 07:36, 18 May 2024 (UTC)  Comment Cologne Cathedral always has scaffolding somewhere. But if a prominent part, like one of the towers, was scaffolded, no FP would be possible at that time.

Mount Everest during sunset
 Oppose Outstanding scene. But the sharpness doesn't convince me and the elaboration seems too dark to me. IMHO there is also to much empty sky. Overall not perfect enough for a FP. --Milseburg (talk) 16:58, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Milseburg I wouldn't say the scene is too dark. Again, noticable details. However, assuming by the colors on the very top, it is somewhere between nautical and astronomical twilight due to the redness. I've browsed through some categories of mountains during sunset, and the ones that had significant light had a more yellow shade, while this one is more red. The sky could probably be cropped a bit, but the sky is an important feature of this image. WildMouse76 (talk) 22:29, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Frank Schulenburg, technically, it's the same effect that you have at the Horsetail Fall (Yosemite) (nearer where you live). With the sun at the right angle and normal conditions at sunset, the red light will prevail and strike the surfaces that can be reached by the light. The red light is not that uncommon, but it gets so striking when isolated to a few patches by the shadows of surrounding mountains. --Cart (talk) 11:33, 18 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
