  •  Comment Gallery fixed. If a gallery link you make is red, then there is something wrong with it and you need to check it out. Go to the gallery pages and find the right one, plus the right section heading on that page and simply copy it. A little info about where this photo was taken, and is it wild or cultivated, should also be in the description and categories. Would you please add that. Best, --Cart (talk) 11:19, 16 June 2025 (UTC)
    I checked the diff, didn't notice the category was empty while posting from a mobile device. I'll add info of when the photo was taken soon. --Osmo Lundell hey 14:38, 16 June 2025 (UTC)
    Added details on where the photo was taken. Hatanpää mansion has a private owned garden that is open to the public in Tampere. Technical details on the camera body and lens aren't that important, atleast according to the policy, but I can provide them if someone is interested. The composition was edited in Lightroom. --Osmo Lundell hey 17:21, 16 June 2025 (UTC)
    Now we are getting somewhere, but the idea was that you should have added the place for the flower on the file page, not just here, since this page will be archived out of sight for most of the general public as soon as the nomination is over and the info will be lost. I've copied it for you and added the relevant categories too. A plant photo without a good location is almost useless for Commons, so please take a look at what I've done so you can do the same the next time. :)
    So since this was in a garden, I assume that the flower was planted and not wild. Or? In that case it should be in the 'Doronicum orientale (cultivars)' category and not the general category for the wild plants.
    Regarding info about the camera you used: Yes, we are very interested in the equipment used for a photo. We usually find that in the photos EXIF, but if you don't keep that with your photos you can also use the Template:Photo Information and add to the description on the file page. Having the tech specs is useful for people learning how to take good photos, and it also allows voters to see how well you have used the cameras capacity. That can be very useful when providing feedback on your photos and perhaps give hints and tips. I know this is a lot to take in for a "newbie", but this is the Big League for photos on Commons, so everything is the next level from just uploading photos for wikis. --Cart (talk) 17:45, 16 June 2025 (UTC)
    The plants in the garden were planted, yes. I took the exif and other metadata out, because there was too much info I didn't want to be there and stripping it straight out was easier than cherrypicking them out of the ~200 or so pics I took on that tour.
    It's not a lot to take at all! I'll go add the deets you asked. ^^ --Osmo Lundell hey 17:52, 16 June 2025 (UTC)
    Thank you! Plant category fixed. --Cart (talk) 18:12, 16 June 2025 (UTC)
  •  Oppose Low quality (noise, halos/CA along the petal edges); not an appealing composition; missing EXIF. Overall, much below the bar of the many images in the FP Gallery. --Tagooty (talk) 05:18, 17 June 2025 (UTC)
  •  Oppose Sorry but I can see a lot of JPEG artefacts at full size and I am not sure I like how the harsh light means that the flowers just appear to be floating in mid air, it isn't a very satisfying composition for me. I think this picture is QI and was worth a try but I don't see it as FP. Cmao20 (talk) 18:51, 17 June 2025 (UTC)

  •  Comment There are several mistakes regarding some names in Italy, that are reported in Italian (some of them with typoes), and not in English: Golfo di Cagliari --> Gulf of Cagliari; Golfo di Taranto --> Gulf of Taranto; Golfo di Salerno (Gulfo is a typo) --> Gulf of Salerno; Puglia --> Apulia; Isole Pelagie --> Pelagie Islands; Calabriaa (typo) --> Calabria.
    The capes are named in Italian, but this can be ok (Capo Spartivento, Capo Rizzuto, Capo Passero and Capo Santa Maria di Leuca), since there are other in northern Africa that are in French; otherwise, you may use Cape Spartivento, Cape Rizzuto (not frequent), Cape Passero, and Cape Santa Maria di Leuca. --Harlock81 (talk) 10:47, 16 June 2025 (UTC)
    If someone is able to open the source file in Adobe Illustrator, they might be able to correct those inaccuracies. Riad Salih (talk) 14:10, 16 June 2025 (UTC)
    I used to have an Adobe Illustrator license, but do not have it anymore (using Inkscape instead; unfortunately Inkscape cannot convert this AI file). If somebody still has a license, could they please download the AI file and convert it to SVG format. First, because SVG is an open standard for vector graphics and can be uploaded directly to Commons; second, because then we could easily fix any typos etc. Of course the fonts are a problem; the map uses a proprietary font family (Myriad Pro), to allow the community to edit the file we would have to replace it by a font family which is available under a free (libre) license, preferably under OFL. If somebody could convert the file to a valid SVG, I would try to replace the fonts and to fix the typos. – Aristeas (talk) 08:07, 17 June 2025 (UTC)

  •  Comment The source website offers two versions: the medium-quality and the high-quality file. This is the medium-quality version. But IMHO we should use the high-quality file because it allows for much more possible use cases. It’s exactly the same image, just in higher resolution. (One can always downscale a raster image, but upscaling it is much more difficult and problematic.) No problem, we can simply upload it over the current (medium-quality) image. Please do so. – Aristeas (talk) 13:33, 16 June 2025 (UTC)
    @Aristeas I attempted to open and upload the high quality file, but my internet speed and PC capabilities are somewhat limited. Please feel free to upload the high version if you can. Riad Salih (talk) 14:01, 16 June 2025 (UTC)
    ✓ Done Uploaded the high-quality file. Looking at the Exif data they say that the image uses “uncalibrated” colours; this means normally that the file uses the Adobe RGB color space, but the profile was not embedded, this causes wrong display (too muted colours). I have embedded the AdobeRGB profile with ExifTool, i.e. without any quality loss. Now the colours look a bit different, but IMHO quite reasonable and more like in common physical maps. – Aristeas (talk) 15:24, 16 June 2025 (UTC)

  •  Request I agree with Poco's assessment. In its current state, the images appears to have undergone quite heavy processing - possibly involving strong noise reduction followed by sharpening. As a result, some details seem unnaturally emphasized, and parts of the image take on a slightly harsh or fragmented appearance. If reprocessing is an option and not too much effort, a more balanced development could preserve the many strengths of this set. That way, the nomination might still succeed - and we would gain two new, excellent featured pictures. -- Radomianin (talk) 18:30, 17 June 2025 (UTC)

Ideally the number of the nebula should have been included in the title (those numbers are like the latin names for species) since these astronomical objects often go by many name even within one language, but we'll start slowly here. ;-) --Cart (talk) 21:23, 13 June 2025 (UTC)

  •  Neutral The image captures a compelling and rare moment with strong compositional intent and atmospheric lighting. However, neither a central figure nor any other key element appears to be distinctly in focus. Whether due to motion blur or a missed focal plane, this softness unfortunately limits the image’s technical strength. Still, a striking and valuable document. -- Radomianin (talk) 21:45, 12 June 2025 (UTC)
  •  Support For most photos, a clear centre and focus are crucial. But here I don’t miss them, on the contrary: it’s just apt that this photo doesn’t emphasize any single person or group, because it wants to show how the participants are completely absorbed in the procession. The processione della Desolata refers to the time between Good Friday and Easter Sunday, when Jesus’ disciples were in utter despair because the Saviour seemed to have died. They and their followers are completely desolate, and what could be more appropriate than an image in which the people merge into an indistinguishable black unity of grief? – Aristeas (talk) 08:37, 13 June 2025 (UTC)

  • I'm sorry Tuxyso, but in this you are wrong. (Kallerna should also read this.) Good text documentation and categories, as well as a good descriptive title are requisites for FPs. Just read the rules. There is no image recognition search tool available on Commons. Texts and categories are the only way a photo will be found and used in this pool of 120,530,793 files. Good luck finding a specific photo in that if you don't do a complete documentation of your photo! (Part of this is an explanation I wrote on another page):
The matter with the importance of texts came to my attention a few years ago when I was part of a trial group for the people who set up the new search system for en-wp and Commons. I learned that an overwhelmingly large part of the people who search for images for articles and other projects, don't use the category system. They just type in key words in the search box and see what pops up. They don't go looking for QIs or FPs since most of them don't know what these combinations of letters stand for.
Most people are by now familiar with tags and they think Commons images are tagged in the same way. That is why poetic or sequential file names are good for photo exhibitions, but totally useless here. You need to get as many of the the words describing the image into the title or the Summary description as possible. The search tool first go for the file name, next the description and last categories. But one thing it never contains is map coordinates. So a good description in the file name gets your photo a "high ranking" in searches. This is why you always get a bunch of useless books and documents mixed in with the photos. They consist of a lot of words. With a bad file name, a few words for description and insufficient categories, your photo will just get lost in the system.
Learning about how all this works was a real eye-opener for me. I was just as lazy as most photographers here are, and really didn't care much about the "formalities" of texts or categories on the file pages, but now I know. As a test you can try to searching for your own photos describing them with "tag words" of what's in the picture, and see how many will turn up. --Cart (talk) 11:56, 10 June 2025 (UTC)
In this case, I admit that I made a mistake in 'supporting' the photo before making sure all the requisites for an FP were fullfilled. Which only proves how helpful a checklist would be for FPC. A.Savin is the only one who has kept his head cool and seen what we others missed. This does him credit. It's too easy to be seduced by a beautiful photo and not do a full reality-check. To make up for my clumsy mistake, I've fixed the description and categories for you. --Cart (talk) 12:07, 10 June 2025 (UTC)
Please read COM:OVERCAT as well. --A.Savin 22:43, 10 June 2025 (UTC)
I don't see any OVERCAT in this case. The tool connected to Cat-a-lot is far from 100% reliable. Here we need a cat for the houses in the village itself, apart from the bridge and the chateau, and the 'check overcat' will sound the "alarm" any which way the houses are categorized, as buildings in the town or as the town itself. The main cat is far too small to start making a lot of subcats at this point, just to please the automated system. Let's use common sense too. --Cart (talk) 01:20, 11 June 2025 (UTC)
