Savonia railway

Voting period is over. Please don't add any new votes. Voting period ends on 2 Sep 2022 at 01:21:49 (UTC)

Reason: Quality image of Savonia railway line in Finland. It shows a Sr1 locomotive hauling lumber across an interesting looking drawbridge. Saw this on Commons recently.

Support Surprisingly sharp given how long the train is and the presumption it was moving. Adam Cuerden ^(talk)_{Has about 8.1% of all FPs} 16:02, 24 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- No surprise with an exposure time of 1/1600 sec (0.000625)! ;-) Assuming the train moves at 50 km/h, it moves only 8 millimeters during the exposure... --Janke | Talk 19:07, 24 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  True, but that also limits the amount of light let in. Basically, I'm impressed at how well focus, exposure, focal plane, and so on were used. There's really not much notable blur until you get right back towards the land in the distance, which is great focal depth. Sure, maybe the smooth concrete structure helps with that, but it's still very well done. Adam Cuerden ^(talk)_{Has about 8.1% of all FPs} 21:06, 24 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Charlesjsharp: Can you clarify? File:Antônio_Carlos_Jobim_(cropped).jpg was cropped at its initial upload and is the image which is used on most wiki pages. I restored the uncropped version. What do you mean by "someone else's image". The image is in public domain. — PerfectSoundWhatever (t; c) 18:45, 31 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
A photograph is a work of art. You wouldn't crop The Mona Lisa and so I don't believe it is good practice to crop others' photos. Cropping for specific uses like a newspaper is fine, but not for an encyclopaedia. Charlesjsharp (talk) 19:31, 31 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
We're an encyclopaedia, not an archival site or an art gallery, so if deadspace is making the encyclopedic value of an image worse, yes, I think we should crop it. What extra value does the shoulder provide? — PerfectSoundWhatever (t; c) 19:54, 31 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Can't put my finger on it exactly, but the dull colours, lacking sharpness, and small image make me oppose.

Comment Image looks pretty good, but the left half of the roof is substantially lower than the right half, and the pseudo-pillar on the left edge isn't very straight. Is there a bit of perspective distortion? It's a high-quality image overall, but if it's able to be made even better, it should be.

- Are you sure that makes sense? This is an original Man Ray print, with his stamp on the back--it is not a scan of a negative like some of the photographs in the Featured Pictures collection. If the print is being treated by the museum as a distinct work of art (and, as the nominator notes, another print of it proved extraordinarily valuable), then shouldn't it be represented as it exists? blameless 03:35, 7 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  Quite likely, as a photo of a photo, the specks are part of the original and certainly reflect the quality of the original process. I'm strongly against cleaning up.

Support nominated version; I'd consider supporting a scan of a different print.

Reason: The last nomination happened during a time we were working out the details of how non-lead images work with FPC. I think we've largely sorted that with our simple criterion that the image should offer some sort of unique insight into the work. As such, probably time this comes back. And, anyway, I've kind of been spending a fair bit of time making comics out of artworks for the Signpost.

Reason: This artwork by LadyofHats provides an incredibly detailed yet concise visualization of the three simplest structures adoptable by phospholipid (bi)layers in an aqueous environment.

That's what image captions are for. The advantage of having that sort of text as a caption rather than embedded in the image is that you can adapt the caption to the context rather than forcing the same caption to work for all the different articles the image appears in. Do you demand captions embedded as pixels in the photos nominated here? —David Eppstein (talk) 19:29, 13 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Support. We should support encyclopedic and well-rendered diagrammatic content in FPC, not just pretty snapshots of charismatic megafauna and postcard views. This is a high-quality example of this type of image, well illustrates an important distinction in biological membrane structures, and is used prominently to do so in multiple articles (among which Lipid is listed as vital, Lipid bilayer both vital and Good Article, and Micelle is high-importance for biology). It is not easy to make these kinds of images both stylized enough to focus on the important aspects of the topic and to render the three-dimensional shape accurately enough for it to immediately stand out to the reader, and the creator of this image has done an excellent job of exactly that. Of note, it is in a vector rather than raster format, making it more widely reusable (for instance, it would be very easy to change the embedded text, unlike in a photographic image with overlaid and pixelated text). LadyofHats has many good diagrams (I had recent occasion to use File:Wine grape diagram en.svg off-wiki, for instance) and I think we should feature more images like this. —David Eppstein (talk) 19:20, 13 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Support Very good macro photography. I'm presuming the coppery tone on them is natural. Adam Cuerden ^(talk)_{Has about 8.1% of all FPs} 01:46, 19 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- I'd say it's because of the lighting - a bit unnatural since it is coming from below - maybe reflection from yellow or orange ground? We have a juniper bush in the yard, and there's nothing "coppery" in their berries... OTOH the other picture of berries shows an unnatural purple coloring - the correct color is a dark, slightly greyish and muted, but pure blue, as seen only on the top of the berries in this FPC. If the photographer can be persuaded to do some color balancing, I would support. (BTW, as the berries mature, their color changes from green to pink, then to purplish, and finally to greyed blue.) --Janke | Talk 15:45, 19 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Unnatural lighting, both tone and direction. This is more like art than information. ProfDEH (talk) 09:14, 25 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@ProfDEH: I suspect it's to some extent assumptions: Not so much what angle is the light coming from, but what angle the camera is pointing, since this could just as easily be looking down at a horizontal sprig, for instance.

Poster for the Seventh Conference of the International Woman Suffrage Alliance

Voting period is over. Please don't add any new votes. Voting period ends on 28 Sep 2022 at 16:28:41 (UTC)

Reason: I think the cleanup went great, despite an imperfect scan. Poster is your typical blocky woodblock or silkscreen print of the time, and you can see slight imperfections on the black border where it didn't quite reach the paper (it's cropped to the edge of the paper, somewhat by necessity as the scan is on some sides). Historical value is what really pushes this into valuable and featurable; this is the kind of artefact that you're surprised still exists.

Support. High quality, scenic, and sets the context well, despite not really conveying just how long it takes to walk up all of those stairs, nor the contrast between the huge glass fresnel lens one finds at the top next to the small electric lamp that replaced it. —David Eppstein (talk) 00:30, 19 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Support. Wouldn't mind more pixels dedicated to the lighthouse itself, but the wider view gives important context, and there's always a chance for more images that zoom in, as it were. Adam Cuerden ^(talk)_{Has about 8.1% of all FPs} 05:02, 22 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
