File:Image-Schloss Nymphenburg Munich CC.jpg (delist)

Voting period ends on 31 Aug 2025 at 10:20:01

Info Exterior of Nymphenburg Palace, Munich; photo created, uploaded and nominated by Richard Bartz (original nomination). As discussed here, we have two almost identical FPs, this one and File:Image-Schloss Nymphenburg Munich CC edit3.jpg. The latter is actually an edited version of this photo, both FPs are very similar, so we should delist one of them. The discussion has shown a clear tendency to delist this version: it is slightly underexposed and appears less polished. Furthermore, from today’s perspective, the nomination that led to the FP promotion is somewhat weak (it is confused, contains vote counting errors, comments from anonymous users, etc.), while the nomination of the other version is fine. – Aristeas (talk) 10:20, 22 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Support -- heylenny (^talk/_edits) 00:25, 21 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I don't feel strongly enough to vote, but when looking at stained glass photos my preference is usually for those that manage the light better than this. The glass itself is fine, but I'm never too keen on seeing the windows look like they've just been plopped onto a pitch black background, because that isn't the way any of us actually experience looking at stained glass in a church, and because it sometimes indicates that the colour contrast has been turned up too high. Compare to 1 and 2 which have less contrasty and saturated colours and where the exposure has been controlled so that the stonework around the windows is still visible, rather than being turned to black. Cmao20 (talk) 00:36, 21 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I understand your point, but I think pitch black background is a common technique, looking at the FP category. heylenny (^talk/_edits) 04:32, 21 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You are right, but I wouldn’t have voted for a lot of those, either. But it does seem that most voters don’t mind as much as me. Cmao20 (talk) 11:41, 21 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Weak oppose Really sorry. I find the motif interesting but the surroundings less than excellent.

Comment Looks like there was a bit of curling when this was scanned; a light patch along the viewer's right. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 16:41, 18 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Chris Woodrich: Sorry, I don't understand. What do you mean by "curling". Yann (talk) 18:34, 18 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

When you scan a physical print, the paper sometimes curls, resulting in part of the image being out of focus and lighter than the rest. I've tagged the area. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 19:45, 18 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Chris Woodrich: So, do you suggest this should be removed? Yann (talk) 19:59, 18 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. It's not original to the photograph, so it would be best removed as part of the restoration work. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 20:15, 18 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Sorry, but I'm not impressed. There are just a few people standing in front of an entrance. I've seen more people standing outside the church at Easter because not everyone could fit in. Even without the people, it wouldn't have a wow effect for me, even though the portal is beautiful. -- Petro Stelte (talk) 15:10, 18 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Thank you for the nomination, Peter! These COVID-19 lockdowns only happened a few years ago, but already feel so distant. I've compiled a few images from that period: there's plenty of fear and emptiness in there, but I find images like the above particularly interesting, as they show how we worked around the restrictions in place to find confort in old habits --Julesvernex2 (talk) 17:32, 18 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Neutral Wouldn't be upset to see it promoted but it's not one of Julesvernex2's best photos in my opinion. It is a good document of those unpleasant times when we were prevented from doing so much, and the image quality is very high as usual for this author, but I miss anything outstanding in terms of composition.

Support --Uoaei1 (talk) 18:01, 18 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Sorry, but as a standalone photo this doesn't work. Even with the caption, it doesn't look that significant to me. The people are still standing in a bunch, like if they were a group casually pausing in front of the church. The things we remember from the pandemic are the social distancing and empty places; none of that is present here. With their back turned to the photographer, we can only clearly see one masked person. --Cart (talk) 13:33, 19 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Weak support Impresses me because of the contrast between the bright, almost monochrome beauty of the portal, the dark indicated beauty of the interior, and the colourful mundane clothing of the people. Of course as a document of the hot phase of the pandemic, some others of Jules’ shots are more impressive. – Aristeas (talk) 15:39, 19 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

In the case of the rose hair tarantula, legs (which are not found in pairs, but act as such) coördinate for stability, per Hao et al.JayCubby (talk) 15:51, 18 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Interesting, but not relevant here. All Araneidae spiders move their legs in pairs, but that doesn't explain the resting position which many say is for camouflage. This makes sense when you look at the St Andrews Cross spider on its web (i. e. the same genus). As you can see, my Argiope bruennichi wouldn't hold down a job as a web designer.

Definitely. Wolverine X-eye 14:45, 17 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Charlesjsharp, Crisco 1492, and Wolverine X-eye: as far as I know, "little owl" is an English species name for Athene noctua. And the photograph was categorised with «Quality images of Athene noctua», so IMO doubling it with the category of just the species wasn't necessary. Anyway, I appreciate the creation of the species category for Kazakhstan by Cmao20. Красный ^{wanna talk?} 21:30, 17 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

«Quality images of Athene noctua» is a Commons hidden category. The species category added is good. Charlesjsharp (talk) 15:08, 18 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Charlesjsharp, Chris Woodrich, Wolverine X-eye, 'Little owl' is the name of the species here, not just a subjective description. I have added the Latin species name and sorted it into a species category if this affects your vote. Cmao20 (talk) 15:17, 17 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The photo was a promotional stunt by photographer Dickenson V. Alley.

Info So, I'm riding a bit of a high, as my photographs of the drag show at my local pride fest turned out really well. This one I think is one of the best of the lot. It depicts Bombae, an Indian-Canadian drag queen who competed on Season 3 of Canada's Drag Race. Bombae is, well, bombastic in her garb and her performance, and I think that is well reflected here (I was also tempted to nominate File:Bombae performing during Queens and Kings of Pride, Windsor-Essex Pride Fest, 2025-08-09 40.jpg, which is from later in the performance).

Comment It's nice enough and all, but I find the white and pink blobs a bit too distracting, and the other photo you mention has a so, so much better composition IMO. In that photo, she's *emerging* in a way that she's not in this photo. Here she's almost going into hiding. A radical crop could save this one though and bring her out more. --Cart (talk) 14:57, 17 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
- Hi Cart, I've gone with a somewhat modified version of your suggested crop; I did a 1x1 to keep it a bit more balanced. I agree that this helps the portrait pop more. (Interestingly, both of her numbers went from poofy clothing to scanty, and both had something coming out of her head - the smoke cloud in the tree outfit and bubbles in the towel outfit). Also tagging Yann and JayCubby as a large modification like this should invite a revisit. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 16:52, 17 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comment There are white spots on the trees. At least these should be cloned out. Yann (talk) 11:50, 15 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Sorry but although the car is lit beautifully and the image quality is excellent, this time I am just too distracted by whatever is going on in the background. Unlike your last car FP, in this one the background detracts rather than adding to the composition. Cmao20 (talk) 13:18, 15 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
- Alexander-93, the background is sufficiently non-descript that Lightroom's AI feature could probably remove those people with minimal impact. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 14:01, 15 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The FP guidlines mention 'typical acceptable manipulations' but don't yet say anything on AI as far as I can see. Should they? Charlesjsharp (talk) 12:59, 16 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The rules don't need to mention it specifically since almost anything you do with a photo is actually AI. If you stack, merge, clone, make panos, fix perspective, sharpen, denoise, etc. in a program, you are already using AI. --Cart (talk) 14:32, 17 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps for today's programs; I don't know. But I use Photoshop CS6 from 2012 for cropping, rotating, cloning, filling, lifting shadows, reducing highlights, adjusting tone, colour, saturation and exposure. I use Topaz Photo AI for denoise and sharpen. Charlesjsharp (talk) 13:33, 18 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

With respect Cart, this isn’t true at all. Pattern matching algorithms existed long before AI. When you use a photo editing application to stack, merge, clone etc. you are using prewritten algorithms to perform specific tasks. There is no AI involved because regular computing is reliant upon pre-determined instruction, and it will only produce a result if you, or the software designer, have told it exactly how to achieve said result. You are only using AI if your algorithm recursively improves itself based on large data sets. The issue with using AI in photo editing is that it hides the nature of the algorithms it uses from us (as well as the privacy and intellectual property implications of the data sets being sourced from other people’s original content). Cmao20 (talk) 15:12, 17 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, there were program performing these tasks before AI came along. But how do we know that today's programs actually still use pattern matching algorithms for these tasks when AI is available and integrated in programs to work on photos. AI is not restricted to just some areas of a program any longer. The only way to be sure you are not using AI, is to use an old version of an editing program like the Photoshop Elements 7.0 that you bought on a disc and that I still keep on my computer just for fun. But more to the point, why should removing/replacing/cloning something with AI be treated any different from sharpening and enhancing photos with programs like Topaz, that's just as much use of AI. AI is a tool, it's as simple as that. It's what we do with the tools we have that might be up for discussions, not what tool we use. As an artist, I could remove the people in this photo using only an old version of Microsoft Paint. Is that more ethical than removing them using AI? --Cart (talk) 15:29, 17 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Thanks for all your reviews and your discussion. I decided to don't change anything in the composition. I like the guys with their outfit; moreover they might walk away from the vintage car into the present. For sure, the flying bugs make the background a bit uneven, but hey, it was a nice summer day and as Cart says, they are alive. Let's see, if the composition works for more reviewers. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Alexander-93 (talk • contribs)

In my opinion it would not be ethical to remove the people in this picture by any means, whether by traditional cloning or by a software package that uses AI. Sometimes you just have to accept reality. The picture is good, and may be FP for some reviewers, but unfortunately that means it is not FP for me. Cmao20 (talk) 18:46, 17 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for going with that it's not AI per se, but what we do with it that matters. --Cart (talk) 19:18, 17 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Support I don't see a problem here. The light on the car is lovely, the "white spots" seems to be bugs flying around and while they may be removed, I'm heartened to see that they are alive while parts of the world have declines in insect population. I think the guys in their old style suspenders and flat caps complement the vintage car splendidly. Overall the photo has an air of "days gone by" (aided by bugs and guys in suspenders) that I like. I'm turning a blind eye to the modern cars up left (although I could leave you with the tip that you could make a local edit where you dial down the highlights on the modern cars, to make them less conspicuous). --Cart (talk) 14:32, 17 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose With a parked car, I would expect perfect sharpness. With a little more time, you could have certainly achieved a better background. In my opinion, this is not an FP. Sorry.Ermell (talk) 14:32, 18 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Weak support Excellent photo of the car. I have no problems with the people, but the cars in the background at the left are a bit distracting. – Aristeas (talk) 15:23, 19 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Support Satisfying composition - van placed according to the rule of thirds and other elements arranged harmoniously. Interesting shades of ochre and blue, and high image quality. All in all a good illustration of how to make an FP from a naturally unattractive subject Cmao20 (talk) 13:17, 15 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Support Interesting and unorthodox subject matter. The old stack contrasts well with the more modern buildings around it. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 14:05, 15 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
