[edit]Candidare un immagine
[edit]Linee guida per candidare un'immagine
[edit]È importante leggere le linee guida prima di candidare un'immagine.
A seguito è riportato un riassunto dei punti essenziali per candidare e valutare le immagini candidate:
- Risoluzione - Le fotografie con una risoluzione inferiore a 2 milioni di pixel vengono generalmente rifiutate e rimosse ad eccezione di motivi contrari di particolare importanza. Si noti che le immagini con risoluzione 1600 x 1200 hanno 1.92 Mpx, appena inferiore al limite minimo di 2Mpx.
- Ricordiamo che le immagini caricate su Commons vengono visualizzate non solo su schermi tradizionali di PC ma sono utilizzate anche per stampa e visualizzazione su schermi ad alta risoluzione. Non possiamo certo prevedere quali tecnologie verranno utilizzate nel futuro quindi è importante che le immagini scelte per la vetrina abbiano una risoluzione quanto più alta è possibile.
- Scansioni - È consigliabile seguire la guida alla scansione, che propone suggerimenti per l'ottenimento di immagini ottimali
- Fuoco - ovviamente ogni oggetto significativo dell'immagine deve essere ben definito e a fuoco.
- Primo piano e sfondo - Oggetti in primissimo piano o di sfondo possono distrarre dalla vista dal oggetto principale dell'immagine. È il caso di controllare se qualche elemento in primo piano non copra nessun elemento importante e che lo sfondo non distolga l'attenzione e renda confusa l'immagine (per esempio evitare che vi sia una luce forte alle spalle di un viso)
- Qualità generale - le immagini candidate devono essere di alta qualità tecnica.
- Le manipolazioni digitali non devono essere effettuate per ingannare, ma vanno usate solo limitatamente e con cura per correggere difetti fotografici. Le manipolazioni comunemente accettate sono il ritaglio e la correzione di prospettiva, focale, colore ed esposizione. Manipolazioni più estese, come può essere la rimozione di un elemento di distrazione dello sfondo, vanno chiaramente descritte nel testo di descrizione per mezzo del template {{Retouched picture}}. Manipolazioni non descritte o descritte in modo insufficiente non permettono la candidatura alla vetrina.
- Valore - il nostro principale obiettivo è eleggere le immagini con il maggior valore rispetto a tutte le loro simili. Le immagini devono essere in qualche modo speciali, perciò fai attenzione:
- quasi tutti i tramonti sono esteticamente piacevoli, infatti molte immagini sono simili alle altre,
- gli scatti notturni sono gradevoli ma generalmente le foto scattate di giorno mostrano molti più dettagli,
- non tutte le belle foto hanno in realtà un valore che non sia esclusivamente personale.
Per quanto riguarda l'aspetto tecnico abbiamo come parametri l'esposizione, la composizione, il controllo del movimento e la profondità di campo.
- L'esposizione si riferisce alla combinazione tra tempo di esposizione e diaframma. Questa combinazione permette generalmente di avere una curva di tono che è in grado di rappresentare ombre e luci con un dettaglio accettabile. Questa curva viene detta latitudine di posa. Un'immagine può essere nella banda bassa, media o alta. Le fotocamere digitali (e le loro foto) hanno una latitudine di posa più stretta delle macchine a pellicola. La mancanza di dettagli nelle zone d'ombra non è necessariamente una caratteristica negativa. Infatti questa può essere parte dell'effetto desiderato, mentre ampie zone eccessivamente sovraesposte possono distrarre la vista.
- La composizione si riferisce alla distribuzione degli elementi nell'immagine. La “Regola dei Terzi” è una buona linea guida per la composizione e eredita molto dagli studi di disegno. Il concetto principale considera l'immagine divisa con due linee orizzontali e due verticali, che dividono l'immagine in tre parti. Generalmente se l'oggetto viene centrato si ha un effetto poco interessante, mentre se l'oggetto viene posizionato in uno dei punti di interesse, ovvero l'intersezione delle quattro linee, si ottiene un effetto decisamente migliore. Le linee dell'orizzonte infatti non dovrebbero essere posizionate nel centro, perché taglierebbero la foto a metà; è invece preferibile scegliere una delle linee orizzontali. Complessivamente bisogna tendere a creare un'immagine dinamica.
- Il controllo del movimento si riferisce al modo viene rappresentato il movimento nell'immagine. Il movimento può essere bloccato (seguito dalla fotocamera) oppure può essere lasciato scorrere, tuttavia l'oggetto principale dell'immagine deve essere visibile. Nessuna delle due tecniche è migliore dell'altra, la buona riuscita dipende esclusivamente dal tipo di effetto ricercato. Per esempio, fotografando una vettura da corsa che appare statica in relazione allo sfondo, che invece scorre sul retro, si ottiene l'oggetto principale in una condizione statica mentre lo sfondo crea il senso di movimento. (questa tecnica è chiamata "panning"). D'altra parte, fotografando un giocatore di basket in salto, bloccato in relazione a tutto il resto dello sfondo, si otterrebbe un buono scatto proprio per la posa innaturale.
- La profondità di campo (PdC o DOF dall'inglese depth of field) è la distanza davanti e dietro il soggetto principale che appare nitida (a fuoco). Questo parametro viene scelto a seconda delle necessità di ogni immagine e può parimenti migliorare o peggiorare la qualità di una fotografia. Generalmente viene utilizzata una PdC ridotta per mettere al centro dell'attenzione il soggetto principale, separandolo da tutto il resto dello sfondo. Invece viene utilizzata una grande PdC per enfatizzare la profondità di un immagine. Gli obiettivi grandangolari in genere una grande PdC mentre i teleobiettivi ne hanno una decisamente ridotta. In gran parte la PdC dipende dall'apertura del diaframma: aumenta con il diminuire dell'apertura e viceversa.
Per quanto riguarda l'aspetto grafico prendiamo invece in considerazione nitidezza, profondità, colore, superficie, prospettiva, bilanciamento, proporzione, ecc.
- La nitidezza si riferisce alle linee di contorno del soggetto principale.
- La profondità si riferisce alla qualità dell'aspetto tridimensionale del soggetto. Ciò si ottiene soprattutto tramite un'adeguata illuminazione laterale (come quella della prima mattinata o del tardo pomeriggio) e non esclusivamente frontale, al fine di evitare l'appiattimento del soggetto.
- Il colore è un elemento molto importante e non deve essere né troppo né poco saturo.
- La superficie si riferisce alla qualità della superficie degli oggetti fotografati.
- La prospettiva si riferisce all'angolazione dalla quale è stata scattata la fotografia. Essa crea una serie di rette immaginarie che seguono gli spigoli paralleli degli oggetti e si incontrano in un punto che può essere dentro o fuori l'immagine.
- Il bilanciamento si riferisce alla disposizione degli oggetti nell'immagine e può essere equilibrato o porre maggior peso verso una direzione.
- La proporzione si riferisce alla relazione tra le dimensioni degli oggetti all'interno dell'immagine. Generalmente si tende a rappresentare oggetti con ridotta relazione, ma una buona tecnica è quella di rappresentare gli oggetti di dimensioni minori in modo più esteso, contrariamente a quanto è in realtà. Per esempio, un piccolo fiore che viene rappresentato con le stesse dimensioni di una grande montagna: questa tecnica viene chiamata inversione di scala.
- Ovviamente, non tutte le caratteristiche devono essere necessariamente presenti. Le immagini possono essere giudicate sia per una sola caratteristica che per diverse caratteristiche, anche contemporaneamente.
- Significato simbolico o rilevanza particolare …Le guerre d'opinione possono iniziare!…. Va ricordato che una pessima fotografia di un soggetto difficilissimo da fotografare è sicuramente migliore di un'immagine ordinaria e tradizionale (come un comune tramonto).
- Le immagini possono essere scelte da un fotografo o da un osservatore anche per motivi culturali, tenendo però sempre conto del contesto dello scatto e non di quello dell'osservatore. Un'immagine inoltre può "parlare" alle persone e avere la capacità di evocare emozioni, che tuttavia non devono essere necessariamente piacevoli.
Per ottimizzare le possibilità di successo delle candidature delle tue immagini è consigliabile leggere le linee guida complete.

Ogni votante è pregato di motivare il proprio voto con qualche parola, in particolar modo se si vota contro. Ricorda inoltre di aggiungere la tua firma (~~~~). I voti anonimi non sono accettati.
Candidare un'immagine alla rimozione dalla vetrina
[edit]Gli standard della vetrina cambiano col tempo. Può succedere che un'immagine che era stata eletta per la vetrina non sia più adatta agli standard attuali.
Questa lista è perciò composta dalle immagini considerate non più adatte a rimanere nella vetrina. Vota:
- {{Mantenere}}
Keep per far sì che l'immagine rimanga nella vetrina. - {{Rimuovere}}
Oppose per far sì che l'immagine venga rimossa dalla vetrina.
Se consideri che un'immagine non rispetti più i criteri delle immagini in vetrina, candidala per la rimozione copiando il nome dell'immagine dentro questa casella di testo (includendo il prefisso dell' Image:) a seguito del testo già presente in essa:
Nella pagina appena creata includi:
- Le informazioni sull'origine dell'immagine (autore dell'immagine, autore della candidatura);
- Un collegamento all'iniziale candidatura per l'inserimento nella vetrina (che va inserito sotto ==Collegamenti== nella descrizione dell'immagine);
- Il motivo per cui l'hai candidata per la rimozione dalla vetrina e il tuo Nome utente.
Dopo aver fatto ciò devi inserire manualmente un collegamento alla pagina creata all'inizio della lista di rimozione dalla vetrina.
Politica di elezione per la vetrina
[edit]Regole generali
[edit]- Il periodo di votazione è di 9 giorni completi, a partire dalla candidatura. I risultato verrà determinato alla fine di questo periodo. I voti aggiunti il decimo giorno o a seguito non verranno considerati.
- Sono benvenuti i contributori anonimi.
- I contributi di anonimi alle discussioni sono benvenuti.
- I voti di contributori anonimi non saranno accettati.
- La candidatura non conta come voto. Il voto di supporto va esplicitato.
- Gli autori delle candidature possono ritirare le loro immagini candidate in ogni momento. Questo si ottiene scrivendo semplicemente "I withdraw my nomination" (in inglese: ritiro la mia candidatura)
o aggiungendo il testo{{withdraw|~~~~}}. - Ricorda che l'obiettivo del progetto Wikimedia Commons è di costruire una raccolta di immagini utilizzabili da tutti i progetti Wikimedia, inclusi possibili progetti futuri. Perciò non bisogna pensare che questo sia una raccolta dedicata esclusivamente al progetto Wikipedia e per tanto le immagini non vanno valutate in funzione di ciò.
- Le immagini vengono rimosse dalla lista di candidature se non hanno voti a supporto (escluso quello dell'autore della candidatura) entro il quinto giorno dalla candidatura (La regola del quinto giorno)
- Le immagini dotate del template {{FPX}} non devono essere rimosse dalla lista entro le 48 ore successive al momento in cui è stato applicato il template, purchè non vi sia nessun voto a supporto oltre quello dell'autore della candidatura.
Regole di ammissione e rimozione dalla vetrina
[edit]Un'immagine candidata viene ammessa alla vetrina se si verificano le seguenti condizioni:
- La licenza è adeguata (ovviamente).
- Se ha almeno 5 voti a supporto.
- Se il rapporto tra voti pro/contro è almeno 2/1 (se ha due terzi di maggioranza).
- Non possono essere ammessi alla vetrina diverse versioni della stessa immagine, ne deve essere scelta una sola versione.
I criteri per la rimozione dalla vetrina sono gli stessi per l'ammissione ad essa, compreso il periodo di voto e la regola del quinto giorno (vedi nelle Regole generali).
Ogni utente esperto può portare a termine una votazione: per istruzioni su come compiere questa operazione vedi la guida per portare a termina la votazione.
Infine, sii cortese
[edit]Per piacere non dimenticare che l'immagine che stai giudicando è frutto del lavoro di qualcuno. Evita di usare frasi come è orribile: se devi opporti non fare spiacevoli considerazioni. Inoltre ricorda che è necessario scrivere in inglese se vuoi essere compreso dagli altri utenti e che il tuo utilizzo di questa lingua e quello degli altri utenti può comunque generare incomprensioni se non si ha un'ottima conoscenza, perciò scegli le parole con cura.
Buon voto… e ricorda che.... tutte le regole possono avere qualche eccezione.

Comment Overall quite nice. Some flecks remain in the top and bottom areas, and I would consider cloning to straighten the top. JayCubby (talk) 23:40, 8 April 2026 (UTC)
Comment The support shows a fold deformation that creates a visible issue, especially in the upper area. To correct it, a partial crop of the banner appears to have been applied. In addition, the image shows high chromatic noise and excessive contrast. Compression artifacts introduced during the conversion from TIF to JPG are also visible, resulting in a noticeable loss of visual quality. Overall, I believe the restoration could have been carried out in a less invasive manner and with less impact on the original information. --Wilfredor (talk) 00:19, 9 April 2026 (UTC)

Support Stunning motif and great work, though I would have opted for a square format because of the edge sharpness. --Achim Lammerts • Syntaxys (talk) 03:21, 8 April 2026 (UTC)
- Thanks for the review, Achim Lammerts • Syntaxys. I think in the case here there is no problem with edge sharpness (look for instance at the marmor elements at the very edges). The slightly unsharp elements you realized are some very close elements from the nearly 1000 years old Barbarossa Chandelier which is near the ground directly under the dome mosaic. A square format had cropped the chandelier nearly completely thus I deciced to take this format (I only had a 19mm fixed-focal length with me). --Tuxyso (talk) 06:13, 8 April 2026 (UTC)
- Thanks for the explanation. In the thumbnail, I thought it was the usual lack of focus you get with wide-angle lenses, but looking more closely confirms what you’re saying. In these cases, a quick solution is focus stacking. Four shots at f/8 would be enough, or if you want greater sharpness, you can reduce the exposure and increase the number of shots, focusing at different depths. The Z8 has this function built in automatically. Wilfredor (talk) 14:55, 8 April 2026 (UTC)

Info Reason to delist (Original nomination): More than a decade has passed since the last delisting nomination at Commons:Featured picture candidates/removal/File:Full Moon Luc Viatour.jpg. The 2 megapixel capture is very low resolution by modern standards. We already have a slightly higher resolution 5 megapixel image File:FullMoon2010.jpg that is an existing FP. We also have vastly higher resolution captures like the 35 megapixel File:2019-01-20 21-58MEZ Vollmond LRGB.jpg. IMO the 2006 image was great for its time but nowadays it no longer even covers the resolution of a cellphone screen.

- I uploaded this image two years ago. I don’t remember what export settings were used. I don’t think it’s an NR artifact, but based on similar cases, it’s possible it was caused by using Lightroom’s dust spot removal tool. Wilfredor (talk) 14:41, 8 April 2026 (UTC)

Support. Tuxyso, how do you get such nice stacks through glass? JayCubby (talk) 16:45, 6 April 2026 (UTC)
- Thanks for the review, JayCubby. My all-time favorite lens for stacks from a museum is my fixed-focal lens 20mm f/1.8 which has very high resolution even at f1.8. Due to the wide-angle I have to go close to the glass thus reflexions are minimized as a positive side-effect. In the case with the crown here the light around was quite dark with the consequence that were not that many reflections on the glass itself. Another important steps happens in the post: I completely darken the background with jewellery to have full attention on the main subject. In the case here I deciced the red velvet under the crown because of the visible red-reflections on the surface of the crown. The one shot out-of-the-camera (without any editing): https://ibb.co/VY9mdPJR Tuxyso (talk) 04:25, 7 April 2026 (UTC)

- I wasn't shown a printed/electronic document from the monastery, but told that taking free pictures under CC licences for commercial use is absolutely fine.

Info Takiyasha the Witch and the Skeleton Spectre, a famed ukiyo-e woodblock triptych by the Japanese artist Utagawa Kuniyoshi (1798–1861). The artist had a tendency to paint both historical and mythical scenes, which are combined here to present an imagined confrontation involving the historical tenth-century princess. The design of the skeleton has influenced the popular imagination of the Gashadokuro, as seen in Kubo and the Two Strings (2016).

Oppose I'm sorry, but I don't think that this is a valid set. Which criteria for a set do you believe to fulfill? Why do these 7 palettes build a set? why not 3 more or 2 less? We have also seen so spectacular astronomical objects that I'm not sure either about the wow factor, still I have tons of respect for your work, as I'm capable to get closer to it. --Poco a poco (talk) 19:08, 8 April 2026 (UTC)
- I think this is a fair question. I'd say it falls under point 3, "A group of images depicting the same subject from different viewpoints" - while "viewpoints" can't be taken literally when your subject is 1,300 light years away, I'd argue that astronomical images processed from differing combinations of bands follows the spirit. While it's possible to combine bands essentially arbitrarily, these images collectively cover 5 bands most commonly imaged by amateur astronomers (RGB, H-alpha, [O III]) along with near infrared, and they're all wavelength ordered.
- As for wow factor, I take a relatively minimal approach to processing, so there's definitely ways these images could be cleaned up, but I wanted to keep the final results true to the raw data. —brainandforce [yap] 08:27, 9 April 2026 (UTC)

Info The first published full disc photo of Earth taken by a person in the 21st century, since Apollo 17, and of the night side, illuminated by moonlight of the full Moon, and with city lights, airglow, two auroras, afterglow, zodiacal light and Venus. Created by Gregory Reid Wiseman/NASA, in April 2026 – uploaded by GiovanniPen – nominated by GumballNine1Nine -- GumballNine1Nine (talk) 16:55, 3 April 2026 (UTC)
Comment -- @GumballNine1Nine: This is not, in fact, a "fully illuminated Earth". It is a photo of the Earth's night side. The illumination in the shot comes from the Moon, not the Sun (which was behind the Earth at this time). I believe the oppose votes have in part be influenced by the wrong assumption that this photo was taken in daylight. Renerpho (talk) 23:45, 4 April 2026 (UTC)

Comment Jebulon, as others have noted (and also the updated info), this is not only a visually unique image of the Earth, but also historical which sets this image apart from the other pictures in that category GumballNine1Nine (talk) 16:50, 5 April 2026 (UTC)
Support Unique in that this is the night side of the Earth with the sun eclipsed: stars are visible in the background, as well as city lights and aurorae (and maybe some zodiacal light?). Perhaps there will be a better image available soon, but I'd guess we can just delist this one and replace it. —brainandforce [yap] 22:08, 3 April 2026 (UTC)

Comment That's the bright side of the Earth though, so it is expected that the image is less noisy. dllu (talk) 06:07, 4 April 2026 (UTC)
- @ArionStar: That image is a lot less interesting. In fact, it's just like any other view of a half-illuminated Earth (unlike the shot in the image which shows the Earth in moonlight). Renerpho (talk) 23:50, 4 April 2026 (UTC)
Support Historical and newsworthy capture. As mentioned by several commenters above, the reason why this was shot at 1/4 s and ISO 51200 is because it is the dark (night) side of the Earth. None of the other photos in Category:Featured pictures of Earth from space have this property apart from some satellite photos that were scanned with specialized cameras. dllu (talk) 06:02, 4 April 2026 (UTC)
Oppose. I'm not convinced about the quality. Is it really the best possible version of this Nikon D5–taken photograph? It was created literally yesterday, I'm sure we can wait a few days until we figure this out. Yacàwotçã (talk) 06:57, 4 April 2026 (UTC)
Oppose Too soon. Please wait for some time. NASA may already have better images from Artemis II than this poor copy. And they will certainly have. Yann (talk) 09:13, 4 April 2026 (UTC)
Oppose Not yet. Not until a higher quality version comes out. TheBritinator (talk) 14:45, 4 April 2026 (UTC)
Support The oppose votes don't take into account that this is a long exposure of the Earth's night side, illuminated by the Moon rather than the Sun (compare File:Artemis II Captures Dark Side of the Earth.jpg for a shorter exposure of the same scene). The "terrible quality" is in comparison to a different kind of photo, and is really comparing apples to oranges. We have never seen an image of Earth quite like this; for example, it is one of the few images that have an exposure time long enough to see stars. The Apollo missions never got a chance to take a photo like this, because they had to launch towards the new Moon (with the fully illuminated Earth behind them). There's so much going on (from city lights on the ground over the planet Venus to the zodiacal light, aurora over the north and south pole, etc.) that makes this a very unusual photo. There will be no higher quality version of this; there was one chance to take that photo, hand-held, with the highest ISO setting and longest exposure time the photographer could manage. NASA talked about the eclipse in the build-up to the launch, and this geometry is unlikely to be repeated in upcoming Artemis launches. In short, I support as a unique photograph. Renerpho (talk) 23:45, 4 April 2026 (UTC)
- There's also a disturbing reflection/lens flare in the middle of the image (see the note). ★ 00:01, 5 April 2026 (UTC)
- @ArionStar: It looks like a reflection to me (something inside the capsule, being reflected in the window). I agree that it's a bit distracting, but again, it's the best that is possible for this kind of shot. We should always ask for images of a reasonably good quality, but I argue that this image meets that criterion -- with all the artifacts it has. Renerpho (talk) 00:06, 5 April 2026 (UTC)
- The off-center crop doesn't help… ★ 01:18, 5 April 2026 (UTC)
- It's not an off-center crop. It's cropped just so that Venus and the zodiacal light aren't cut off. Renerpho (talk) 14:10, 5 April 2026 (UTC)
- @ArionStar by nitpicking about the reflection and the off-center crop, you're missing the point that Renerpho is making, which is that this is a unique and irreplaceable photo of historical significance despite its technical flaws. We can all see that the photo is grainy and has reflections and other imperfections. But given the extraordinary circumstances, some of us believe that it should be featured, in accordance with the FPC guidelines which states that "Hence, a work of poor quality depicting a contemporaneous historical event can be nonetheless important, even if the artistic merit is relatively low." dllu (talk) 19:25, 5 April 2026 (UTC)

- @Yann: If I read the EXIF data here correctly then the photo was created as a JPG file; and what was later processed on the ground in Lightroom was the original JPG as created by the camera. There really is no bandwidth limitation so close to Earth that would have prevented them from sending it "as is". Renerpho (talk) 14:28, 6 April 2026 (UTC)
- This means NASA uses out-of-camera JPEG files? OMG, no wonder that the quality is rather poor. If there is no bandwidth limitation, the first thing they must do is to set the camera to use the raw image file format and to send the raw files. There is much, much, much more latitude for editing when you use the raw image file format instead of JPEG, and when it comes to a photo of the night side of the Earth, “illuminated by moonlight of the full Moon”, you need as much latitude for editing as you can get. – Aristeas (talk) 07:09, 7 April 2026 (UTC)
Oppose Using OOC JPEG images in such a historical situation is incredibly sloppy. – Aristeas (talk) 07:09, 7 April 2026 (UTC)- Someone should try to confirm if I read the EXIF data correctly before votes are being based on that. Renerpho (talk) 07:13, 7 April 2026 (UTC)
Oppose I looked at the Exif data and yes, they seem to indicate an OOC JPEG file, and the file itself looks very much like an edited OOC JPEG file, too. However you are right that it is problematic to base voting on unclear facts. Let’s keep things simple. Sorry, the image quality clearly is not on the level we have often seen from NASA and would expect from NASA in 2026. I absolutely respect if somebody says historicity outweighs quality issues, but sorry, I beg to differ, I don’t see this in this case. – Aristeas (talk) 18:31, 7 April 2026 (UTC)

Oppose It looks like this image was processed with too much AI denoising/sharpening, producing an unrealistic swirly texture throughout the nebula. This is especially evident on the star cluster [FSR2007] 0467 at the northwest (top right) corner of the nebula.

Comment Overall quite nice. Some flecks remain in the top and bottom areas, and I would consider cloning to straighten the top. JayCubby (talk) 23:40, 8 April 2026 (UTC)
Comment The support shows a fold deformation that creates a visible issue, especially in the upper area. To correct it, a partial crop of the banner appears to have been applied. In addition, the image shows high chromatic noise and excessive contrast. Compression artifacts introduced during the conversion from TIF to JPG are also visible, resulting in a noticeable loss of visual quality. Overall, I believe the restoration could have been carried out in a less invasive manner and with less impact on the original information. --Wilfredor (talk) 00:19, 9 April 2026 (UTC)

Weak oppose I've been going back and forth on this for a few days.

Support Stunning motif and great work, though I would have opted for a square format because of the edge sharpness. --Achim Lammerts • Syntaxys (talk) 03:21, 8 April 2026 (UTC)
- Thanks for the review, Achim Lammerts • Syntaxys. I think in the case here there is no problem with edge sharpness (look for instance at the marmor elements at the very edges). The slightly unsharp elements you realized are some very close elements from the nearly 1000 years old Barbarossa Chandelier which is near the ground directly under the dome mosaic. A square format had cropped the chandelier nearly completely thus I deciced to take this format (I only had a 19mm fixed-focal length with me). --Tuxyso (talk) 06:13, 8 April 2026 (UTC)
- Thanks for the explanation. In the thumbnail, I thought it was the usual lack of focus you get with wide-angle lenses, but looking more closely confirms what you’re saying. In these cases, a quick solution is focus stacking. Four shots at f/8 would be enough, or if you want greater sharpness, you can reduce the exposure and increase the number of shots, focusing at different depths. The Z8 has this function built in automatically. Wilfredor (talk) 14:55, 8 April 2026 (UTC)
- I often use focus stacking with the Z8, but not with the manual focus t&s lens PC-E 19mm :) A hand-held shot with HDRI (I used here) AND manual focus shift is barely possible. —Tuxyso (talk) 15:05, 8 April 2026 (UTC)

[edit]Voting period ends on 16 Apr 2026 at 17:42:47
Info Reason to delist (Original nomination): More than a decade has passed since the last delisting nomination at Commons:Featured picture candidates/removal/File:Full Moon Luc Viatour.jpg. The 2 megapixel capture is very low resolution by modern standards. We already have a slightly higher resolution 5 megapixel image File:FullMoon2010.jpg that is an existing FP. We also have vastly higher resolution captures like the 35 megapixel File:2019-01-20 21-58MEZ Vollmond LRGB.jpg. IMO the 2006 image was great for its time but nowadays it no longer even covers the resolution of a cellphone screen.

- I uploaded this image two years ago. I don’t remember what export settings were used. I don’t think it’s an NR artifact, but based on similar cases, it’s possible it was caused by using Lightroom’s dust spot removal tool. Wilfredor (talk) 14:41, 8 April 2026 (UTC)

Support. Tuxyso, how do you get such nice stacks through glass? JayCubby (talk) 16:45, 6 April 2026 (UTC)
- Thanks for the review, JayCubby. My all-time favorite lens for stacks from a museum is my fixed-focal lens 20mm f/1.8 which has very high resolution even at f1.8. Due to the wide-angle I have to go close to the glass thus reflexions are minimized as a positive side-effect. In the case with the crown here the light around was quite dark with the consequence that were not that many reflections on the glass itself. Another important steps happens in the post: I completely darken the background with jewellery to have full attention on the main subject. In the case here I deciced the red velvet under the crown because of the visible red-reflections on the surface of the crown. The one shot out-of-the-camera (without any editing): https://ibb.co/VY9mdPJR Tuxyso (talk) 04:25, 7 April 2026 (UTC)

- I wasn't shown a printed/electronic document from the monastery, but told that taking free pictures under CC licences for commercial use is absolutely fine.

Info Takiyasha the Witch and the Skeleton Spectre, a famed ukiyo-e woodblock triptych by the Japanese artist Utagawa Kuniyoshi (1798–1861). The artist had a tendency to paint both historical and mythical scenes, which are combined here to present an imagined confrontation involving the historical tenth-century princess. The design of the skeleton has influenced the popular imagination of the Gashadokuro, as seen in Kubo and the Two Strings (2016).

Oppose I'm sorry, but I don't think that this is a valid set. Which criteria for a set do you believe to fulfill? Why do these 7 palettes build a set? why not 3 more or 2 less? We have also seen so spectacular astronomical objects that I'm not sure either about the wow factor, still I have tons of respect for your work, as I'm capable to get closer to it. --Poco a poco (talk) 19:08, 8 April 2026 (UTC)
- I think this is a fair question. I'd say it falls under point 3, "A group of images depicting the same subject from different viewpoints" - while "viewpoints" can't be taken literally when your subject is 1,300 light years away, I'd argue that astronomical images processed from differing combinations of bands follows the spirit. While it's possible to combine bands essentially arbitrarily, these images collectively cover 5 bands most commonly imaged by amateur astronomers (RGB, H-alpha, [O III]) along with near infrared, and they're all wavelength ordered.
- As for wow factor, I take a relatively minimal approach to processing, so there's definitely ways these images could be cleaned up, but I wanted to keep the final results true to the raw data. —brainandforce [yap] 08:27, 9 April 2026 (UTC)

Info The first published full disc photo of Earth taken by a person in the 21st century, since Apollo 17, and of the night side, illuminated by moonlight of the full Moon, and with city lights, airglow, two auroras, afterglow, zodiacal light and Venus. Created by Gregory Reid Wiseman/NASA, in April 2026 – uploaded by GiovanniPen – nominated by GumballNine1Nine -- GumballNine1Nine (talk) 16:55, 3 April 2026 (UTC)
Comment -- @GumballNine1Nine: This is not, in fact, a "fully illuminated Earth". It is a photo of the Earth's night side. The illumination in the shot comes from the Moon, not the Sun (which was behind the Earth at this time). I believe the oppose votes have in part be influenced by the wrong assumption that this photo was taken in daylight. Renerpho (talk) 23:45, 4 April 2026 (UTC)

Comment Jebulon, as others have noted (and also the updated info), this is not only a visually unique image of the Earth, but also historical which sets this image apart from the other pictures in that category GumballNine1Nine (talk) 16:50, 5 April 2026 (UTC)
Support Unique in that this is the night side of the Earth with the sun eclipsed: stars are visible in the background, as well as city lights and aurorae (and maybe some zodiacal light?). Perhaps there will be a better image available soon, but I'd guess we can just delist this one and replace it. —brainandforce [yap] 22:08, 3 April 2026 (UTC)

Comment That's the bright side of the Earth though, so it is expected that the image is less noisy. dllu (talk) 06:07, 4 April 2026 (UTC)
- @ArionStar: That image is a lot less interesting. In fact, it's just like any other view of a half-illuminated Earth (unlike the shot in the image which shows the Earth in moonlight). Renerpho (talk) 23:50, 4 April 2026 (UTC)
Support Historical and newsworthy capture. As mentioned by several commenters above, the reason why this was shot at 1/4 s and ISO 51200 is because it is the dark (night) side of the Earth. None of the other photos in Category:Featured pictures of Earth from space have this property apart from some satellite photos that were scanned with specialized cameras. dllu (talk) 06:02, 4 April 2026 (UTC)
Oppose. I'm not convinced about the quality. Is it really the best possible version of this Nikon D5–taken photograph? It was created literally yesterday, I'm sure we can wait a few days until we figure this out. Yacàwotçã (talk) 06:57, 4 April 2026 (UTC)
Oppose Too soon. Please wait for some time. NASA may already have better images from Artemis II than this poor copy. And they will certainly have. Yann (talk) 09:13, 4 April 2026 (UTC)
Oppose Not yet. Not until a higher quality version comes out. TheBritinator (talk) 14:45, 4 April 2026 (UTC)
Support The oppose votes don't take into account that this is a long exposure of the Earth's night side, illuminated by the Moon rather than the Sun (compare File:Artemis II Captures Dark Side of the Earth.jpg for a shorter exposure of the same scene). The "terrible quality" is in comparison to a different kind of photo, and is really comparing apples to oranges. We have never seen an image of Earth quite like this; for example, it is one of the few images that have an exposure time long enough to see stars. The Apollo missions never got a chance to take a photo like this, because they had to launch towards the new Moon (with the fully illuminated Earth behind them). There's so much going on (from city lights on the ground over the planet Venus to the zodiacal light, aurora over the north and south pole, etc.) that makes this a very unusual photo. There will be no higher quality version of this; there was one chance to take that photo, hand-held, with the highest ISO setting and longest exposure time the photographer could manage. NASA talked about the eclipse in the build-up to the launch, and this geometry is unlikely to be repeated in upcoming Artemis launches. In short, I support as a unique photograph. Renerpho (talk) 23:45, 4 April 2026 (UTC)
- There's also a disturbing reflection/lens flare in the middle of the image (see the note). ★ 00:01, 5 April 2026 (UTC)
- @ArionStar: It looks like a reflection to me (something inside the capsule, being reflected in the window). I agree that it's a bit distracting, but again, it's the best that is possible for this kind of shot. We should always ask for images of a reasonably good quality, but I argue that this image meets that criterion -- with all the artifacts it has. Renerpho (talk) 00:06, 5 April 2026 (UTC)
- The off-center crop doesn't help… ★ 01:18, 5 April 2026 (UTC)
- It's not an off-center crop. It's cropped just so that Venus and the zodiacal light aren't cut off. Renerpho (talk) 14:10, 5 April 2026 (UTC)
- @ArionStar by nitpicking about the reflection and the off-center crop, you're missing the point that Renerpho is making, which is that this is a unique and irreplaceable photo of historical significance despite its technical flaws. We can all see that the photo is grainy and has reflections and other imperfections. But given the extraordinary circumstances, some of us believe that it should be featured, in accordance with the FPC guidelines which states that "Hence, a work of poor quality depicting a contemporaneous historical event can be nonetheless important, even if the artistic merit is relatively low." dllu (talk) 19:25, 5 April 2026 (UTC)

- @Yann: If I read the EXIF data here correctly then the photo was created as a JPG file; and what was later processed on the ground in Lightroom was the original JPG as created by the camera. There really is no bandwidth limitation so close to Earth that would have prevented them from sending it "as is". Renerpho (talk) 14:28, 6 April 2026 (UTC)
- This means NASA uses out-of-camera JPEG files? OMG, no wonder that the quality is rather poor. If there is no bandwidth limitation, the first thing they must do is to set the camera to use the raw image file format and to send the raw files. There is much, much, much more latitude for editing when you use the raw image file format instead of JPEG, and when it comes to a photo of the night side of the Earth, “illuminated by moonlight of the full Moon”, you need as much latitude for editing as you can get. – Aristeas (talk) 07:09, 7 April 2026 (UTC)
Oppose Using OOC JPEG images in such a historical situation is incredibly sloppy. – Aristeas (talk) 07:09, 7 April 2026 (UTC)- Someone should try to confirm if I read the EXIF data correctly before votes are being based on that. Renerpho (talk) 07:13, 7 April 2026 (UTC)
Oppose I looked at the Exif data and yes, they seem to indicate an OOC JPEG file, and the file itself looks very much like an edited OOC JPEG file, too. However you are right that it is problematic to base voting on unclear facts. Let’s keep things simple. Sorry, the image quality clearly is not on the level we have often seen from NASA and would expect from NASA in 2026. I absolutely respect if somebody says historicity outweighs quality issues, but sorry, I beg to differ, I don’t see this in this case. – Aristeas (talk) 18:31, 7 April 2026 (UTC)

I like how the harsh brutalist architecture is counterbalanced by the natural features and the autumn colours. All by -- The Cosmonaut (talk) 10:09, 3 April 2026 (UTC)

Weak support Alvesgaspar has a point, but all in all the photo convinces me; it’s difficult to take attractive photos of such rather uniform buildings, and you certainly achieved a very attractive view. – Aristeas (talk) 14:18, 8 April 2026 (UTC)

Oppose Maybe a good candidate for valuable images, but aesthetics is not good enough to justify FP status. -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 20:54, 3 April 2026 (UTC)
Oppose It looks like this image was processed with too much AI denoising/sharpening, producing an unrealistic swirly texture throughout the nebula. This is especially evident on the star cluster [FSR2007] 0467 at the northwest (top right) corner of the nebula. A reprocess of this data may get FP though. —brainandforce [yap] 22:49, 3 April 2026 (UTC)

Comment Very good overall, if it weren't for that strangely-lit area between the ladder and the legs (I have added a note to the image to pinpoint it). I assume this is a masking error and could therefore be fixed? --Aciarium ⚒ (talk) 09:17, 3 April 2026 (UTC)
- Thank you. I have reprocessed the file from RAW. -- ̃ ̃ ̃ ̃ Joydeep (Talk) 12:06, 3 April 2026 (UTC)

- Is the issue resolved now? Please take a look at the image again. Joydeep (Talk) 11:02, 4 April 2026 (UTC)
- I think it is from inconsistent masking to fix the high contrast and lift dark shadowy areas. That’s all acceptable but the masking is not very well done. @Joydeep: perhaps you could upload the RAW separately, or email it to me, I would like to take a stab at it. Otherwise please apply a different mask. UnpetitproleX (Talk) 19:35, 3 April 2026 (UTC)
