Aegithalos caudatus (with feathers to pad the nest)
  • Follow-up  Comment Jerzy, this is really a lovely and wonderful photo, I (and other users) would really like to become it a Featured picture. We just think that the post-processing is not up to what your photo deserves. Modern tools allow to reduce the image noise greatly without sacrificing details (as old-styled noise removal did), therefore the new tools have rapidly become standard especially with wildlife photos. Just contact Poco a poco or e.g. Radomianin or me if you would appreciate a little help with this. Best, – Aristeas (talk) 10:57, 30 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thanks to Aristeas for his engagement. The photo is too beautiful to let this nomination die. SwissTransfer link provided: This version is similar to Poco's (thanks for the edit), but in mine the colors are closer to the photographer's original. However, the degree of denoising and sharpness is similar to Poco's version. If you and the community find the edit acceptable, feel free to use it for an update. Best regards, -- Radomianin (talk) 11:24, 30 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment Will support Poco's version, but not this one. Cmao20 (talk) 03:18, 28 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment Jerzy Strzelecki Dear P .T. correctors of other people's photos: I must congratulate you on your effectiveness in warding off potential (+) voters. However, the next time an irresistible urge to correct you strikes, try to wait until the voting is over. I have over 8,000 images in Wikimedia, including some that have been used in dozens of Wikipedias. It's a shame that you chose to paste just the one I wanted to highlight - the friendly, slightly funny “Mustache”. And best leave the author's versions alone even if, in your opinion, they necessarily need improvement. This was supposed to be a bigger project [1]. However, a magpie or jay destroyed the nest with the young. The same thing with the vote on this photo was done by the enhancers. Jerzystrzelecki (talk) 13:09, 3 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment Hello Jerzy, I’m sorry but there seems to be a big misunderstanding. No offence, but your harsh comment deserves an open answer. Please take a look at other nominations to understand better how this “Featured picture candidates” (FPC) page works. We do not first vote on a photo and discuss it later, as you seem to assume. We always discuss photos, often into details, and FPC regulars are used to propose improvements when they think a photo could be amended. This applies also and especially to wildlife photographs, and hints and suggestions about improving the post-processing are very common. This is neither derogatory nor impolite, on the contrary: when FPC voters suggest specific improvements, they (i.) confirm that your photo has potential and (ii.) want to help you to realize this potential better. This is actually a service for you. You have received a lot of praise for the photo and only completely constructive comments, two people have even edited the photo for you to help you – frankly, you should consider yourself lucky that you are being offered so much recognition and support. Wikimedia Commons is not meant to be a site where people just brag about their photos and praise each other (like Flickr), but one where we work together, and there’s no better way to do that than by discussing how to improve images further. Getting on your high horse and insulting other users by comparing them to envious magpies or jays doesn’t help the poor little bird (for whom I have every sympathy), your beautiful photo, you or the project.
