特色图片评选

欢迎来到特色图片评选！社群将在此投票决定图片是否会被选为维基共享资源最优秀的图片之一，即特色图片，每日图片的图像便是从特色图片中选取的。特色图片是中文维基百科最令人感到印象深刻，也是最具百科性的图片或图表。谚语有云：“一画胜千言。”特色图片能够让条目的内容更加清楚丰富。如果你认为你已经创作或找到了一张可能有价值的图像，请把它加到“提名”部分。如果在10天后达成了共识，图像就会成功入选。

这里列出了特色图片的评选记录，你也可以在下方查看按时间顺序列出的图片：2004年、2005年, 2006年、2007年、2008年、2009年、2010年、2011年、2012年、2013年、2014年、2015年、2016年、2017年、2018年、2019年、2020 以及本月。

提名

如果您认为您已经找到或拍摄了一张可能符合标准的图像，并使用了适当的图像描述和版权标记许可，那么请按照如下步骤操作：

1. 按照括号内的格式（Commons:Featured picture candidates/File:提名图像名称.jpg）在下方的文本框输入图像名称，然后点击“创建新提名”按钮。

如果本次提名为第n次提名，请按照括号内的格式（Commons:Featured picture candidates/File:提名图像名称.jpg/2）展开操作。

所有的新图片集提名页面都应按照括号内的格式（Commons:Featured picture candidates/Set/My nomination）进行。

2. 按照编辑页面上的说明进行操作并保存页面。（注：打开编辑页面后，您在上方看到的“LIST OF NOMINATIONS (Put your nominations to the TOP of this section (after this comment))”大意为“这里是候选图片列表，请将您的提名提交到本节的顶部（在本行后）”；您在下方看到的“DO NOT ADD NEW NOMINATIONS ABOVE THIS LINE, BUT ON TOP”大意为“不要在本行上方添加新的贴士（除了顶部）”。）

3. 点击此处并按如下格式在图片候选区的顶端加入新内容：

{{Commons:Featured picture candidates/File:提名图像名称.jpg}}

推荐操作：请COM:FP的列表处添加一个分类。

可选操作：如果您不是图像的创建者，请通知在他/她的讨论页添入“{{subst:FPC-notice|Your image filename.jpg}} -- ~~~~”（不含括号）。

注意，你的荧光屏可能未调校妥当！

光暗度

在讨论图像的光暗度的时候，投票者有必要知道他们的屏幕显示有否被适当地调整。不同的屏幕显示，它们显示阴影细节的能力亦大有不同。旁边为一幅画了四个暗灰色的圆圈的图片。如果您能辨明其中三个（甚至四个）圈子，那表示你的的屏幕可以正确地显示阴影细节。如果你只能够看到三个以下的圈子，你可能需要调整你的屏幕以及/或者电脑显示设置。一些显示设备可能无法被调整至观察阴影细节的最理想度数，故此请在投票的时候考虑这点。如果可行的话，也可以考虑把它打印出来。

色彩度

在伽玛调整的屏幕显示上从几尺之外观看右图，图中四个不同颜色的圈子会自然混入背景之中。如果他们完全跟背景混合，你则须要调校你的伽玛设置（在电脑的输出设置上，而不在于屏幕显示），直到它们能彼此融合。调校的过程也许会非常困难，然而轻微的偏差并不是致命伤。未能更正的个人电脑显示通常会显示出比背景深色的圈子。请注意，在液晶显示（无论膝上电脑或者平面屏幕）上观看图片，你的观看角度有很大可能影响屏幕上的图像质素。如有需要，请点击图像以获得更多技术信息。

Info Blue dragon (Pteraeolidia ianthina), Anilao, Philippines. This sea slug, of a length of about 7 centimetres (2.8 in), is widespread throughout the Indo-Pacific and can be fount at a dept of up to 30 metres (98 ft). Pteraeolidia has evolved a method of capturing and farming microscopic plants (zooxanthellae) in its own body. The plants flourish in this protected environment and as they convert the sun's energy into sugars, they pass a significant proportion on to the nudibranch for its own use. The slug gains enough photosythetically derived sugars to sustain it without feeding. Note: we have no FPs of the genus Pteraeolidia. c/u/n by Poco a poco (talk) 17:35, 26 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment On Helicon Focus, have you tried to use a lower radius (4 or less)? It might help in reducing the blurry areas around the stamen. Sometimes a lower radius creates halos around the flower, though. When that happens I often use the 'Use other output as source' option in the 'Retouching' tab to combine to combine the best bits of a high-radius stack and a low-radius one. --Julesvernex2 (talk)

@Julesvernex2: Thanks for your reply. By default I use -B, Radius 8, Smoothing 4- But tonight I will try your advice and upload the possible improved version. Yours sincerely,--Famberhorst (talk) 14:48, 26 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I just checked what I use: Depth map (B) Radius 8, Smoothing 4. I never change it. You have to go through each image cloning in the background where it is in focus then manually complete in Photoshop/Lightroom using the cloning tool. It is time-consuming. I've given up pointing out the ubiquitous stacking errors. Some voters don't seem to mind. Charlesjsharp (talk) 16:15, 26 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

And you have to do the same for the background otherwise you get these sort of halos/patterns. Charlesjsharp (talk) 16:20, 26 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You're throwing away a lot of what Helicon can do by sticking to the default settings and going straight to cloning. Here's the workflow I found most effective so far: 1) make several outputs with different settings (usually method B with a 4 to 20 radius, but sometimes also method C); 2) combine the best features of each output (with the 'Use other output as source' option mentioned above); 3) clean up the background by sourcing it from a single frame (usually Helicon sources it from multiple frames, messing up the bokeh); 4) clone any lingering errors (sometimes within Helicon, but most often using Photoshop's better tools) --Julesvernex2 (talk) 16:59, 26 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Done. New version. Thanks for your reviews.--Famberhorst (talk) 17:42, 26 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I don't understand. Doesn't the image still have all the stacking errors around the stamen. (I think I'm looking at the latest version). 20:54, 26 July 2024 (UTC) Charlesjsharp (talk) 08:24, 27 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It's not my photo, and as far as I can tell the photographer had a single burst of activity in 2022 and is no longer active. I only nominated this because I was strongly "wowed" by it, and in my opinion the low quality does not preclude it from being FP as there are some recent successful nominations with a similar resolution.

Yes but not much of it and my view is that it's not sufficient to be FP.

Comment There is a danger Prototyperspective that your rejections of a range of different images that you claim have insufficient educational value could be taken as disruptive voting. Perhps it is just that your wording is unfortunate and you could find a different way to oppose.

Oppose Quality problem. F/2.8 = Limited depth of field. Out of focus foreground and background. ISO 5,000 = poor level of detail. Very high level of noise in the dark areas. Blown highlights on the beach. Also overprocessed (the whites are gray) -- Basile Morin (talk) 10:52, 21 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support Thank you, RodRabelo7, for this nomination. I reconstructed the image from RAW using NX Studio, applying a vignetting fix. I used Topaz Denoise for noise reduction. The ISO was set to 1600 due to the lighting conditions. I didn't use a tripod to avoid drawing attention in a favela. The aperture was set to 2.8 because the subject was far away, and at such distances, a larger aperture isn't necessary. It’s normal because it is a night photo for some areas to appear very bright while others are darker. --Wilfredor (talk) 23:53, 21 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose I dont see DoF problems, but 2.8 means very unsharp on edges. Bigest problem is very strong CA, i think hours could be spent here to solve it, after it highligthed boards etc. Tripod would solve, but you didnt try it. Alternative has same problems.

Oppose Level of blur of the background. Yes, DoF is a real problem, not only on edges, also at the distance. Low level of detail due to high ISO: 2500 here or 5000 / 1600 in the previous version(s), it is far too excessive when you need to lift the shadows in post-process. Shooting at dark night without tripod is hard (more than blue hour). The picture is okay to document the place, but technically not one of the finest. Empirical solutions when you don't have a tripod: 1) use a simple (and more discreet) monopod, which generally allows you to reach one full second quite easily, 2) use a wall, or any edge of surrounding structure, then stabilize the camera with stones, 3) walk with a friend who masters martial arts :-) or with good eyes, capable of monitoring, 4) Possible sometimes to manually take multiple shots at different focus points, then carefully assembly them at home, 5) Go at blue hour, when there is still more light. It will also bring an appealing sky, while reducing the highlights -- Basile Morin (talk) 03:18, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Not sufficiently in line with COM:SCOPE of being of sufficient educational value to be featured. The key purpose of this site is educational so images like this shouldn't be highlighted such as included on the front-page instead of e.g. illustrations or otherwise more-educational media. Enough bird photos which people have surely seen by the hundreds by now are among the FP. --Prototyperspective (talk) 10:11, 22 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You are clearly missing the point of having FPs. Ideally, we should have at least one image that is so great it can be viewed as an FP for each category and each article on the WikiProject. Saying that we don't need more FPs of birds because there are already hundreds of them, is simply ludicrous. We need more FPs (of all sorts of subjects), not less, if this is ever going to be the high quality project we strive to make it. And please stop referring to the front-page all the time with these boilerplate opposes, they are not a helpful critique. The front-page is an insignificant by-product, not a goal. Odd votes like this, are actually counterproductive since they keep many good photographers away from FPC, thereby limiting the selection of diverse photos here. Not all people show up voluntarily to such hostile environments to get their photos evaluated when photography is a hobby and not a livelihood you need to fight for. --Cart (talk) 11:16, 22 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The same applies for illustrations and other images that are more educational than photos of which there are many thousands of the same subject. Prototyperspective (talk) 13:43, 22 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your reasoning sounds really warped to me. So in your opinion, what should we have FPs of since according to you, people and birds are now out of the question, and how many FPs do you think we should have on Commons to cover all articles and projects? You have only stated cons in your arguments, I'm interested in hearing your pros. I'm also curious about what categories here contain thousands of illustrations of the same subject. I do a lot of category sorting, and I don't recall coming across such categories. It would be interesting to see so many different takes on the same subject. --Cart (talk) 14:20, 22 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I believe that all of Proto's opposing votes should be nullified. Criticizing pictures of birds and claiming they do not fit within COM:SCOPE, as well as using the Main Page as a reason to oppose, are unhelpful reasons. Additionally, Proto mentioned that they would "start voting oppose very often" because the image they nominated received multiple opposing votes due to quality and professionality. Based on their behavior, I doubt Proto understands how FPC works. Zzzs (talk) 15:28, 22 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If we had a community decision that a user isn't fit to vote on FPC, for whatever reason, then all their votes (s & o) should be striked. That's how it's been done before with sockpuppets and disruptive users. Such a decision usually comes after a discussion on the FPC talk page. --Cart (talk) 15:38, 22 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I believe this should be considered as a last resort if Proto continues with his disruptive behaviour on FPC. Zzzs (talk) 15:42, 22 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That is true. All other efforts and attempts to resolve things like this, should first be made before doing something drastic. --Cart (talk) 15:45, 22 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have posted on his talk page what COM:FPC is and warned him of his behaviour. Zzzs (talk) 16:49, 22 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Fingers crossed then. I really miss the days when FPC was a forum for photographers, where we supported each other and tried our darndest to create the most stunning images for the WikiProject. --Cart (talk) 18:42, 22 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

For the record, I've started a thread on COM:ANU. --SHB2000 (talk) 04:45, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

as well as using the Main Page as a reason to oppose

Objectively false.

If the standards are this high, I'm going to vote by putting images under a lens of a high standard. Prototyperspective (talk) 21:04, 22 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You wrote "images like this shouldn't be highlighted such as included on the front-page" as part of your reason for opposing, so I don't see how you can deny that and call it "false". --Cart (talk) 21:14, 22 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I was referring to Featured picture candidates are images that the community will vote on, to determine whether or not they will be highlighted as some of the finest on Commons. They aren't only shown on the frontpage but also highlighted with tools and methods that show featured pictures as well as more as a general thing where I disagree with that these "some of the finest on Commons". People turned this FP thing into a "some of the finest by photography technical criteria but nothing else" long ago but WMC is not a photography critique site (not saying technical photo critique shouldn't be done and that there shouldn't be photo communities on the site). Prototyperspective (talk) 21:37, 22 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Commons as such may not be a photography critique site, but the COM:CRIT, QIC, VIC and FPC sure are. How else can we determine what photos are good. --Cart (talk) 21:48, 22 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Their contents are already evaluated so technical flawlessness etc is already not the only criteria – people here just don't consider the criteria of educational content much usually. I quoted things that describe what FP is and what WMC is and from both I conclude that criteria of educational quality/degree is very appropriate.

Question However much one agrees with the sentiments, is FPC the place for snapshot of a crude political statement? I don't think so. Charlesjsharp (talk) 14:00, 19 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Politics is everywhere and has to do with history. Voting for an image is a fundamental right that we should all exercise, regardless of our political opinions. Historical photographs, from Nazism to Communism, remind us of past realities. These images should not prevent us from supporting a photograph that opposes a dictator. Supporting that image is defending justice and freedom. Wilfredor (talk) 19:07, 19 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
You know not everything is a "right". We humans like to think of ourselves as deservant or entitled to something, when in reality we only deserve as much as we get. Having said that, I see no need to feature this image, so Oppose. Wolverine XI 20:58, 20 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment A stunning image. Very well processed, insane light, very good storytelling by repeating the subject from the DoF in the unsharp background. That face, crystal sharp looking directly to us – very good. I would love to vote for this image. But the historical statement made by the crowd here can only be described as anti-historic. I would have no problem if they would protest again Putin or even for him. But the Hitler comparison is so stupid. Well, I have to think about it. Perhaps I will come to the conclusion that the content is not disturbing that masterpiece of photography. --August (talk) 22:34, 19 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

My analysis: this image represents an iconic anti-Putin (Putler) protest and has the wow factor, as well as an anti-communist or a Nazi propaganda poster. History is history. Period. ★ 17:47, 20 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Stop this "period" thing, it's getting old.

Oppose Beautiful eyes and long clean hair, but the nazi salute attributed to Putin ruins the message. Face hidden behind a scarf, as only semi-convinced, semi-recognizable. And she seems more attentive to the photographer and the image of herself than to the protest in action. Looking at the viewer, she seems to say "look at my Photoshopped Putler shared on Facebook and Instagram ". Nazi analogies are so often rehashed that they are not very powerful, in addition to corrupting ancient history. It's like representing Vladimir Putin dressed as a devil with horns and tail, I don't know who would worry about that. It can even cause the opposite of the desired goal. An image of a real, serious fact truly attributed to Putin would be better than a poor mental fabrication.

Comment The sign includes copyrighted elements, so the picture is under deletion according to Commons:Derivative works. 29 Wikipedia articles use the image. It could be useful if the sign was blurred like the license plate numbers in some pictures. I don't do it with my own skills, so that the picture doesn't start to resemble Ecce Homo. --Thi (talk) 18:26, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Agree; maybe we can help here. @A.Savin: Would you agree that it is sufficient to blur the image(s) on the demonstrator’s sign, keeping the “Stop Putler!” letters, to get rid of the copyright violation problem? Then such a modified version of this image could be kept as a useful illustration for the mentioned Wikipedia articles. Is it also necessary to blur the (already very blurry) Hitler image on the sign in the background? I would regard the latter as de minimis because it is out of focus. (And no, I do not want to promote/defent the “Putler” term; historically this is certainly a wrong comparison, just as most comparisons; but the term exists, and the image is a good illustration.) – Aristeas (talk) 19:22, 24 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not just the source images but also the collage itself (yes, even as poorly made one as this) may be a reason to claim copyright. So no, blurring wouldn't help us and the image should be deleted. --A.Savin 10:13, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
