African bush elephant (Loxodonta africana), Amboseli National Park, Kenya
  • Ok, fair, thank you for your feedback. I made some changes, please, have a look. To your question, please, don't upload versions on your own, that makes no sense. I have the RAW file as source and if somebody requests a change later one I wouldn't have the right version, so it makes sense that I do those changes. Furthermore I consider myself skilled enough to make a tilt or change the WB. I believe that uploading an own version is appropiate if the author requests for help of if the uploader is not active on Commons. Poco a poco (talk) 16:12, 22 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I don't necessarily mean uploading the version to replace your version, but to upload a reference version to better illustrate what I mean. Tupungato (talk) 17:55, 22 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thomson's gazelle (Eudorcas thomsonii), Amboseli National Park, Kenya
  • Well, you may be disappointed. I know the theory but I have to say that at the end of the day I played around with the crop and chose this one because it dwas the most pleasant to me. It doesn't fullfil the rule of 2/3 or the diagonal method, though. Poco a poco (talk) 19:10, 27 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • To be clear, I wouldn't vote for any of the stained glass images in the 'traditional style' either. I did vote for one a bit like this in 2019 but I was very new to Commons then and didn't know much about this type of photography. I would oppose that image now. Cmao20 (talk) 03:02, 29 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • That’s clear, it’s a very reasonable point of view and in no way I wanted to criticize you. I just wanted to consider the photo from my own (a bit different) point of view, also in order to offer other voters some more aspects from which they can choose when making their own judgment. I always think that some diversity of the evaluations is helpful to ensure a well-balanced discussion and assessment. – Aristeas (talk) 11:52, 29 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sacred Heart chapel in Zakopane Jaszczurówka
  • Yes, I hear you. I guess it's more a matter of taste and what the image is being used for. In my opinion, for a piece of art to be hung on the wall, it would be wonderful. But in an encyclopedic context, the heavy-handed processing is just to much. At least for me. Given the artistic merit, I'd be perfectly ok with it being promoted.--Frank Schulenburg (talk) 16:37, 23 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Frank Schulenburg: it has very little post-processing, I only used tonal curves to change the contrast. Everything looks just like it was when I took the picture. Jakub T. Jankiewicz (talk) 13:18, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Courtyard and workers’ houses below high factory chimneys in Nikiszowiec, Katowice, Poland
  • ✓ Improved file uploaded Thank you for the constructive feedback, Basile. The bluish hue of the right chimney has been removed. You are right about the different shades of red, I already noticed this during the development. On site, they actually look like this, I suspect the red paint on the right chimney is either older than the left one, or was a different quality of paint that allows the azo dyes to fade faster due to ultraviolet radiation. Here are a few examples from the same month this year, where you can see that they are just as different as in my photo: 01, 02, 03, 04 and 05. If you compare these with a photo from 10 years ago, the suspected UV light bleaching seems reasonable. Best regards, -- Radomianin (talk) 10:33, 30 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment Thanks to both of you! This is a very interesting hint, Basile. I wanted to answer that the difference seems to be mostly real, as other photos show, but Radomianin has already explained this and also improved the image – great! Best, – Aristeas (talk) 10:52, 30 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thank you very much, Radomianin, for the clarification and useful links that confirm your words. Thanks also to Aristeas for the comment. Interesting feature of the real world! Not enough wow for me, but if a majority of supporters want this image FP, I'm fine (neutral) with a promotion -- Basile Morin (talk) 13:51, 30 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The Milky Way
  •  Comment It is certainly a lot better, but I don't know how much of the colours here are trustworthy. It's hard to know how far the original manipulations went and thus how far they should be reversed. Cmao20 (talk) 22:19, 26 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Many thanks to Cmao20 and Giles for your evaluations. It is difficult to adjust saturation and level values based on guesswork when the original file is not available. But I didn't want to leave it untried. I created a second version in which I reduced the brightness, contrast and saturation values significantly: SwissTransfer link 2/2. There are still a few days left until the end of the nomination period and I'm still hoping that the author will respond with his personal feedback. Best regards, -- Radomianin (talk) 00:12, 27 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • The green and red colors in the sky still come out of nowhere and don't exist in reality. There's also many blue weird zones in the black zones that look like it was painted (I think they are remains of the painting brush used to darken the sky). The whites also seem a bit too illuminated. And also the black part of the sky is underexposed in my opinion (but underexposed because of the way it was edited by painting it darker and not by the way of taking the photo). I think the image has to be reworked from raw because the way it was edited to make everything else than the milky way much darker probably caused details to be lost there -- Giles Laurent (talk) 21:44, 27 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
