Ehdottaminen

[edit]

Ohjeita ehdottajille

[edit]

Lue läpi Commons:Image guidelines ennen kuvan ehdottamista.

Alla on yhteenveto siitä, mitä tulee tarkastella arvioidessa kuvan sopivuutta suositelluksi kuvaksi:

  • Resoluutio – Yleensä kuvat, joiden resoluutio on alle kaksi megapikseliä, on hylätty. Alle kahden megapikselin kuva voidaan hyväksyä vain poikkeustapauksessa. Huomaa, että kuvassa, jonka resoluutio on 1 600 × 1 200, on noin 1,92 megapikseliä, joten se on kelvoton.
Commonsissa sijaitsevia kuvia voidaan käyttää muuhunkin kuin tietokoneen näytöllä katselemiseen. Niitä voidaan tulostaa tai katsella suurella resoluutiolla olevilla monitoreilla. Emme voi ennustaa, millaisia laitteistot tulevat olemaan tulevaisuudessa, joten kuvan tulee olla niin suurella resoluutiolla kuin mahdollista.
  • Fokus – kuvan tärkeimpien kohteiden tulisi olla teräviä.
  • Edusta ja tausta – edustalla ja taustalla olevat asiat voivat olla häiritseviä. Tarkista, että edustalla olevat kohteet eivät peitä mitään kuvan kannalta tärkeää ja taustalla olevat kohteet eivät pilaa asetelmaa, esimerkiksi katuvalo ei näytä tulevan jonkun päästä.
  • Tekninen korkealaatuisuus – suositellun kuvan tulee olla teknisesti korkealaatuinen.
  • Digitaaliset manipulaatiot eivät saa vetää nenästä kuvan katsojaa. Kuvassa olevien kauneusvirheiden korjaaminen on sallittua, jos korjaus on tehty hyvin ja sen tarkoituksena ei ole vääristää kuvaa. Hyväksyttäjä manipulaatioita ovat rajaus, perspektiivin oikaisu, terävöittäminen, sumentaminen ja valotuksen sekä värien korjailu. Monimutkaisemmat manipulaatiot ovat sallittuja vain, jos mallinetta {{Retouched picture}} käytetään kuvaussivulla. Kuvauksettomat tai väärin kuvatut monimutkaiset manipulaatiot ovat kiellettyjä.
  • Arvo – päätavoitteenamme on erottaa arvokkaimmat kuvat muista. Suositellun kuvan tulee olla jotenkin erikoinen.
    • Auringonlaskuista otetut valokuvat ovat kaikki vähän samanlaisia (Valokuvia)(Suomessa otettuja valokuvia)
    • Yökuvat saattavat olla hienompia, mutta päiväkuvista ilmenee yleensä enemmän tietoa
    • Kaunis ei ole sama asia kuin arvokas

Teknisiä yksityiskohtia käsitellään kohdissa valotus, asetelma, liikkeenhallinta ja terävyysalue.

  • Valotus – valotuksella tarkoitetaan valokuvauksessa kameran filmiin tallentuvaa tai digitaalikamerassa valoherkän kennon tallentamaa valon määrää. Valotuksen tulisi olla sopiva. Laajat ylivalottuneet alueet ovat usein häiritseviä.
  • Asetelma – asetelmalla tarkoitetaan kuvan esineiden sijoittumista toisiinsa nähden. ”Kolmoissääntö” (esimerkkikuva) on hyvä nyrkkisääntö siitä, millainen on hyvä asetelma. Kolmoissäännön ideana on, että kuva jaetaan kahdella pystyviivalla ja kahdella vaakaviivalla yhdeksään osaan (3×3). Pääaiheen sijoittaminen tiukasti kuvan keskelle on yleensä huonompi vaihtoehto mielenkiintoisuuden kannalta kuin pääaiheen sijoittaminen johonkin neljästä viivojen muodostamasta risteyksestä. Horisonttia ei tulisi sijoittaa kuvan keskelle, vaan jommankumman viivan keskelle. Kolmoissäännön avulla saadaan luotua dynaaminen kuva.
  • Liikkeenhallinta – liikkeenhallinnalla tarkoitetaan sitä, miten liike näkyy kuvassa. Liike voi olla terävää tai epätarkkaa. Jompikumpi aina ei ole paras vaihtoehto, vaan tärkeintä on aikomus havainnollistaa jotain. Liike on suhteellista kuvan kohteisiin verrattuna. Esimerkiksi valokuva ralliautosta, joka näyttäisi olevan paikallaan taustaa vasten, on huonompi vaihtoehto kuin valokuva ralliautosta, joka näkyy terävästi, mutta jonka tausta on sumuista, koska tällöin liikkeen huomaa helposti. Tätä kutsutaan ”panoroinniksi”. Toisaalta valokuva hyppäävästä koripallon pelaajasta, joka näyttää olevan paikallaan taustaa vasten, on hyvä sen epäluonnollisuuden takia.
  • Terävyysalue – terävyysalueella tarkoitetaan kuvan kohteen terävyyttä ympäristöön verrattuna. Terävyysalue valitaan jokaisen kuvan kohdalla erikseen. Suuri tai pieni terävyysalue voi huonontaa tai parantaa kuvan laatua. Pientä terävyysaluetta voidaan käyttää erottamaan pääkohde muusta ympäristöstä. Näin katsojan huomio kiinnittyy haluttuun kohteeseen. Suurta terävyysaluetta voidaan taas käyttää tilan havainnollistamiseen. Lähtökohtaisesti syväterävyysalue muodostuu sitä lyhyemmäksi, mitä suurempaa aukkoarvoa valokuvaaja käyttää. Vastaavasti pientä aukkoarvoa käytettäessä syväterävyysalue voi ulottua kuvan etualalta äärettömään. Aukon arvon lisäksi syväterävyysalueeseen vaikuttaa kuitenkin myös objektiivin todellinen polttoväli ja toisaalta kohteen etäisyys kuvaajasta.

Alla käsitellään vielä grafiikkaa.

  • Terävyys – pääkohteiden ääriviivojen on oltava teräviä.
  • Kolmiulotteisuus – kolmiulotteisuuden on oltava laadukasta. Parhaiten tämä onnistuu siten, että valo tulee kohteen sivulta. Yleensä kuvaajasta päin tuleva valo ei onnistu luomaan kunnollista kolmiulotteista vaikutelmaa, vaan se johtaa litteään vaikutelmaan. Paras valo ulkona on aamulla tai illalla.
  • Värit – värit eivät saa olla liian kylläisiä.
  • Tekstuuri – kohteen pinnan on oltava kolmiulotteisen näköinen ja laadukas.
  • Perspektiivi – kuvan tulee olla kolmiulotteinen.
  • Tasapaino – kuvan kohteiden tulisi olla tasapainossa keskenään. Suurta määrää kohteita ei tulisi jommallakummalla puolella.
  • Mittasuhde – mittasuhteella tarkoitetaan kuvan kohteiden kokoa toisiinsa verrattuna. Yleensä meillä taipumus esittää pienet kohteet pieninä, mutta toisaalta pienen kohteen esittäminen suurena luonnossa suurta kohdetta vasten on myös hyvä tekniikka, esimerkiksi kukan esittäminen vuorta vasten.
  • Symbolinen tarkoitus – huono kuva vaikeasta aiheesta on parempi kuin hyvä kuva helposta aiheesta.
Valokuvaaja ja/tai sen katselija voivat tarkastella kuvan kohdetta puolueellisesti. Kuvan arvoa ei tulisi arvioida arvioijan kulttuurillisen taustan perusteella, vaan se tulisi arvioida kuvan kulttuurillisen taustan perusteella. Hyvä kuva ”puhuu” katsojalle herättäen sellaisia tunteita kuin ilo, sympatia, herkkyys, suru, inho, viha ja raivo. Hyvän kuvan herättämät tunteet eivät ole vain positiivisia.

Käytäntö

[edit]

Yleiset säännöt

[edit]
  1. Äänestys on auki tasan yhdeksän vuorokautta ehdotuksen tekemisen jälkeen.
  2. Käyttäjätunnuksettomat käyttäjät saavat ehdottaa ja keskustella, mutta eivät äänestää.
  3. Ehdotus ei ole ääni. Ääni on annettava erikseen.
  4. Ehdottaja voi vetää ehdotuksen pois lisäämällä {{withdraw|~~~~}} äänestyssivulle.
  5. Wikimedia Commons ei ole vain Wikipedian kuvavarasto, joten kuvia ei tule arvioida vain Wikipediaan soveltuvuuden perusteella.
  6. Jos kuva ei saa muita kannattavia ääniä kuin ehdottajan viiden vuorokauden kuluessa ehdotuksen tekemisestä, poistoäänestys tulee lopettaa.
  7. Mallineella {{FPX}} merkitty poistoäänestys tulee lopettaa 24 tunnin kuluttua mallineen lisäämisestä, jos muita kannatusääniä kuin ehdottajan ei ole.

Statuksen muutos

[edit]

Kuvasta tulee suositeltu kuva, jos se täyttää seuraavat vaatimukset:

  1. Kuvaussivulla on hyväksytty ja totuudenmukainen tekijänoikeusmalline
  2. Vähintään viisi kannatusääntä
  3. Vähintään kaksi kolmasosaa äänistä kannattavia
  4. Saman kuvan eri versiosta vain yksi saa olla suositeltu kuva. Siitä kuvasta, joka on kerännyt eniten kannattavia ääniä, tulee suositeltu kuva.

Statuksen poistoehdotuksen kohdalla sovelletaan samoja sääntöjä. Jos statuksen poistoa kannattavia ääniä ei ole tullut ehdottajan äänen lisäksi viiden vuorokauden kuluessa ehdotuksen teosta, äänestys tulee sulkea.

Ohjeita äänestyksen lopettamisesta on sivulla Commons:Featured picture candidates/What to do after voting is finished.

Arvostele hyvien tapojen mukaisesti

[edit]

Muista, että kuva jota kommentoit on jonkun tekemä. Älä käytä sellaista tyyliä kommenteissasi kuin ”Vihaan kuvaa”, ”Kuva on ihan ruma” tai ”Kamala kuva”.

Russian imperial flag and the Lakhta Centre
Thank you very much for your thoughtful input! --The Cosmonaut (talk)
  •  Oppose Sorry, I don't care how metaphorical the photo is and it's not easily recognizable for the average viewer, the quality (detail) is low for such a normal range photo and the wow-factor is eluding me. --Cart (talk) 14:20, 20 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
How amazing is that an average viewer finally has a champion to speak for them! --The Cosmonaut (talk) 18:34, 20 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Obsolete is some ways, but not gone. The USSR is the formal successor of the Russian Empire. And the Russian Federation is the legal successor of the USSR. So there is a degree of continuity in a dimension of time. Here are all three major flags that have been used over the last 330+ years of history of the RE/USSR/RF: File:Флагштоки возле парка 300-летия Санкт-Петербурга. 2024. 05.jpg, Category:Flagpoles (Park 300 Years of Saint Petersburg). Who knows, maybe there will be a fourth one in the next 100 years or so. Or, we could just reuse the flags we already have in cycles with little or no alterations. That black-dark blue-yellow-white one looks really nice. --Argenberg (talk) 11:00, 21 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, fog and humidity always eat up visible detail through diffusion, diffraction and polarization. I took another look at the image. The quality of the original copy is good for a 24MP image, fog-wise. There’s tons of fine detail in both the skyscraper and the trees. You might just consider taking the original, denoising the sky and applying a delicate high-frequency sharpening mask on everything else. --Argenberg (talk) 11:00, 21 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Masked trogon (Trogon personatus temperatus) male
I concur. Argasidae I believe. Needsmoreritalin (talk) 22:30, 19 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Argasidae seem to be mainly Asian family. The trogon is a big bird, so it would be a huge tick. I don't think I can add it to the Ixodida article till we are more sure. Anyone? Charlesjsharp (talk) 08:41, 20 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Huge ticks are not surprising to me. I could find ticks as big as my thumb nail on my cat if she had been out in the forest on one of her long treks over a few days. This one (unfortunately) looks very familiar. --Cart (talk) 14:48, 20 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Wolf spider (Aglaoctenus castaneus) on web
Gallery fixed. There may be no FP of this genus, but that gallery is so far for Families and that one exists. Also no idea what you were up to here blanking the new category you created. I've noticed that you are starting to make a lot of mistakes with things like this, so perhaps you should leave such things to coders here. Just post your noms and we'll take care of the "boring" sorting stuff for you. --Cart (talk) 19:07, 18 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment Not sure the stacking is working so well here. There are an awful lot of "shadows/halos" from un-sharp parts of the stacked photos and the stacking goes in and out all over the image. Might be less confusing working with less photos in the stack. --Cart (talk) 19:13, 18 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment A 3D spider's web is the most challenging subject for focus-stacking I know. Try it. Working with less photos doesn't work I'm afraid. And more photos doesn't help either. There is a huge amount of manual cloning needed to create sharp threads that aren't in any of the stack, but you have to stop somewhere. In time the AI models will improve. I happen to think the composition with its random threads works OK. Incidentally, the focus-stacking here is many times more challenging than the recent on the recent 2D web with male and female spiders. And have a closer look at the lovely FP nom of two damselflies. The spiders webs just stop in mid air! Charlesjsharp (talk) 21:40, 18 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    I know that spiderwebs are a nightmare to stack and that you are doing as well as you can. Believe me, I actually have tried focus stacking spiderwebs and I just gave up since it was so darn difficult to get things to line up and not give off halos. That's why I think it might not be the best way to photograph these kind of things. Couldn't you concentrate the stacking on just the spider and let the net fade in and out of Dof like in a normal photo? Just brainstorming ideas here. Btw, the spiderwebs "ending" in midair is a usual phenomena depending on how the light and shadow hits them and whatever moisture is on them. I think every nature photographer have seen them appear and disappear in their photos. --Cart (talk) 22:08, 18 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Russian imperial flag and the Lakhta Centre
Thank you very much for your thoughtful input! --The Cosmonaut (talk)
  •  Oppose Sorry, I don't care how metaphorical the photo is and it's not easily recognizable for the average viewer, the quality (detail) is low for such a normal range photo and the wow-factor is eluding me. --Cart (talk) 14:20, 20 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
How amazing is that an average viewer finally has a champion to speak for them! --The Cosmonaut (talk) 18:34, 20 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Obsolete is some ways, but not gone. The USSR is the formal successor of the Russian Empire. And the Russian Federation is the legal successor of the USSR. So there is a degree of continuity in a dimension of time. Here are all three major flags that have been used over the last 330+ years of history of the RE/USSR/RF: File:Флагштоки возле парка 300-летия Санкт-Петербурга. 2024. 05.jpg, Category:Flagpoles (Park 300 Years of Saint Petersburg). Who knows, maybe there will be a fourth one in the next 100 years or so. Or, we could just reuse the flags we already have in cycles with little or no alterations. That black-dark blue-yellow-white one looks really nice. --Argenberg (talk) 11:00, 21 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, fog and humidity always eat up visible detail through diffusion, diffraction and polarization. I took another look at the image. The quality of the original copy is good for a 24MP image, fog-wise. There’s tons of fine detail in both the skyscraper and the trees. You might just consider taking the original, denoising the sky and applying a delicate high-frequency sharpening mask on everything else. --Argenberg (talk) 11:00, 21 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Masked trogon (Trogon personatus temperatus) male
I concur. Argasidae I believe. Needsmoreritalin (talk) 22:30, 19 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Argasidae seem to be mainly Asian family. The trogon is a big bird, so it would be a huge tick. I don't think I can add it to the Ixodida article till we are more sure. Anyone? Charlesjsharp (talk) 08:41, 20 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Huge ticks are not surprising to me. I could find ticks as big as my thumb nail on my cat if she had been out in the forest on one of her long treks over a few days. This one (unfortunately) looks very familiar. --Cart (talk) 14:48, 20 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Wolf spider (Aglaoctenus castaneus) on web
Gallery fixed. There may be no FP of this genus, but that gallery is so far for Families and that one exists. Also no idea what you were up to here blanking the new category you created. I've noticed that you are starting to make a lot of mistakes with things like this, so perhaps you should leave such things to coders here. Just post your noms and we'll take care of the "boring" sorting stuff for you. --Cart (talk) 19:07, 18 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment Not sure the stacking is working so well here. There are an awful lot of "shadows/halos" from un-sharp parts of the stacked photos and the stacking goes in and out all over the image. Might be less confusing working with less photos in the stack. --Cart (talk) 19:13, 18 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment A 3D spider's web is the most challenging subject for focus-stacking I know. Try it. Working with less photos doesn't work I'm afraid. And more photos doesn't help either. There is a huge amount of manual cloning needed to create sharp threads that aren't in any of the stack, but you have to stop somewhere. In time the AI models will improve. I happen to think the composition with its random threads works OK. Incidentally, the focus-stacking here is many times more challenging than the recent on the recent 2D web with male and female spiders. And have a closer look at the lovely FP nom of two damselflies. The spiders webs just stop in mid air! Charlesjsharp (talk) 21:40, 18 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    I know that spiderwebs are a nightmare to stack and that you are doing as well as you can. Believe me, I actually have tried focus stacking spiderwebs and I just gave up since it was so darn difficult to get things to line up and not give off halos. That's why I think it might not be the best way to photograph these kind of things. Couldn't you concentrate the stacking on just the spider and let the net fade in and out of Dof like in a normal photo? Just brainstorming ideas here. Btw, the spiderwebs "ending" in midair is a usual phenomena depending on how the light and shadow hits them and whatever moisture is on them. I think every nature photographer have seen them appear and disappear in their photos. --Cart (talk) 22:08, 18 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The image captures the iconic Christ the Redeemer (Cristo Redentor) statue towering over Rio de Janeiro in a breathtaking panoramic shot from above. Recognized as one of the New Seven Wonders of the World, the statue stands as one of Brazil’s most famous landmarks. Taken from a striking aerial perspective, the photo highlights the city's unique landscape, set between mountains and the bay, with exceptional lighting that enhances the interplay of light and shadow. This photograph was awarded first place in the "Wiki Loves Monuments 2025" contest.
