BASE jumping from tower[edit]

Reason
Photo of BASE jumping, good depiction of the sport, good angle of view and composition. I think of the wide angle barrel distortion as part of the composition in this case, and not a bad thing.

Yuri Gagarin[edit]

Voting period is over. Please don't add any new votes. Voting period ends on 3 Jul 2019 at 07:05:07 (UTC)

Original – Yuri Gagarin was a Soviet cosmonaut, Air Force pilot, and aerospace engineer.
Alt 1 Scratches and specks removed.
Reason
Yuri Gagarin was the first human to go to space and the first to orbit the Earth on 12 April 1961. This wonderful maniac then directed Vostok 1 on a descent course, ejected from the spacecraft, and landed using a parachute.
If that is not enough, this photo is also very rare. Gagarin died less than 7 years after his flight. He also managed to scar his handsome face two months after this photo was taken on 3 July 1961. So this photo is the best representation of his appearance during the notable time that we may ever get.

  • I'm sure it is, but not FP quality for me. A training pic and poorly composed. Charlesjsharp (talk) 15:13, 24 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • My opinion about the EV and composition, he was a pilot in training to become an astronaut. He died in a training accident. This photo shows him in action, in training, in his environment, in the middle of a bunch of training hardware. This image has good EV in the article and fits as good as any image can.

Byun Yo-han seeking quorum[edit]

Voting period is over. Please don't add any new votes. Voting period ends on 3 Jul 2019 at 21:04:28 (UTC)

Original – South Korean young actor Byun Yo-han
Reason
As said previously, I think it's a high resolution of this young South Korean actor and I'd like to add two things: the background seems confusing for the Korean letters, but I was told by a contributor that it sets context for those who understand. Secondly, it got four votes and didn't reach quorum, that's why resubmitting, whether to be opposed or supported, that doesn't matter as everyone's opinion is respectable.

La Navarraise[edit]

Voting period is over. Please don't add any new votes. Voting period ends on 4 Jul 2019 at 03:16:00 (UTC)

Original – Poster for Jules Massenet's La Navarraise, showing Emma Calvé in the role of Anita. The piece was originally performed in London, Calvé reprised her role from that production for this poster's performance, the French première at the Théâtre de l'Opéra-Comique on 3 October 1895
Reason
A fine image. Does have some of that unrecapturable "new technology is cool" thing - in this case, being able to print photos big, which I believe was very, very new at the time, and hence this probably looked far cooler back then. It's like Fred Ott's Sneeze or how Final Fantasy VII's low-poly 3D character models did not look like total crap at the time. Anyway, this has held up better than a lot of those, and I think Calvé's acting talent is a big reason for it: her pose and expression really sums up her role.

[1] claims it started in the 1920s Soviet Union, and [2] credits them and, I think, the Dadaist school. One suspects such people forgot that theatrical posters existed before film.

Le pardon de Ploërmel (Dinorah)[edit]

Voting period is over. Please don't add any new votes. Voting period ends on 7 Jul 2019 at 08:48:50 (UTC)

Original – Poster for the première of Meyerbeer's Le pardon de Ploërmel, also called Dinorah
Reason
Posters tended to get better over time in the 19th century. For its time, this five-colour poster was pretty darn good. Plus, it's a première poster, which always adds a bit of EV. The opera has two names, which is kind of confusing, but, well, that can't be helped by us.

  • It's a beautiful shot of a beautiful place. One small concern is that Moraine lake is famous for the contrast between the greeny turquoise blue of its waters and the bluer blue of the sky. Here that's only barely visible around the margins of the lake, with the lake itself dominated by the same colors as the background. It's also a bit low-res by current standards and there's some odd blurring on the trees at the back side of the lake and purple chromatic aberration on the ridge above them. File:1 moraine lake pano 2019.jpg (the lead image of Moraine Lake) is technically better of the same place despite its noise. —David Eppstein (talk) 06:10, 2 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

    Well, EV isn't educational value, but encyclopedic value - quite a different thing. Support. --Janke | Talk 15:45, 11 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    Espresso Addict, just to reply in more detail . . . typically infobox images 1- depict the subject of the article, 2- do so better than other images, so infobox images are usually considered to meet the EV requirement portion of the FP criteria. This has been my experience here at FP nominations, I am not saying it is right or wrong (although I usually agree). The FP criteria doesn't define EV in much detail, and reviewers often disagree about "significant EV". . . . About this nom: the article is about the station and the photo depicts it, and it relates to the text: glass and steel curves, two platforms on left, post 2016 renovation. About the light fixture distortion: it is a limitation (of flattening a real life spherical canvas to a 2D canvas) and shows in wide angle shots [4], [5], [6] and the heads of the two side statues in this shot (visible at full size, not full screen). Bammesk (talk) 00:58, 12 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support. Thanks for the nom. This is an amazing railway station, considered one of the finest in the country. My photo is a very similar view to the one on the cover of Britain's 100 Best Railway Stations by Simon Jenkins. -- Colin°Talk 11:12, 12 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support. I kind of wish it was just a little wider so that you could have a thin band of blue sky at the top instead of cutting into the roof support beam. But it's a good shot regardless. —David Eppstein (talk) 19:10, 13 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Voting period is over. Please don't add any new votes. Voting period ends on 21 Jul 2019 at 15:45:30 (UTC)

OriginalLillian Feickert, c. 1912
Reason
As you may know, the 100th anniversary of suffrage in the United States is next year. That means preparing for it is not a bad idea. Feickert has a fairly well-developed biography... but her image looked like this: [10] - That's... not ideal. I think it's a very nice photo of its type, and certainly does the fade better than Nell Mercer. Downside is the composition kind of needs a little space around it. It's something around 500 dpi by my figuring, so pretty good resolution, even if it's not amazing size otherwise.

Metal Slinky[edit]

Voting period is over. Please don't add any new votes. Voting period ends on 22 Jul 2019 at 23:27:22 (UTC)

Original – Metal slinky
Reason
This is a Commons FP of the Slinky toy that's currently used prominently at the Slinky article. It demonstrates the Slinky's nature as a pre-compressed spring, its ability to sit with both ends on the floor, and its typical appearance at rest. This was nominated for FP 13½ years ago (see Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Spiral), but it failed because it wasn't then in a high-EV use and because some voters thought it wasn't a particularly appealing image. It now has a use with high EV, and images with anything less than high quality can't become FPs on Commons, I think we need not worry about concerns that its general quality is poor.

On the other, I do think the original colours (File:Nadar, Sarah Bernhardt - Getty Museum.jpg) make the details pop a lot more, especially the hair/background distinction, and I'm really, really not a fan of arbitrary conversion to greyscale of images that weren't originally. I don't suppose you saved a copy of the restoration before levels and saturation? As it is, I think I'm kind of leaning neutral. I certainly do not want to oppose it. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 6.8% of all FPs 15:19, 14 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • @Adam Cuerden: I usually correct the levels and the saturation before doing the restoration. And what make you say that the original is not greyscale? To me, the only colors there is the frame. Regards, Yann (talk) 17:28, 14 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • It's sepia. There's two or three chemical processes that can be used, one gives more brownish tones, the other the more almost blue-balanced tones of modern greyscale. This appears to be one of the browner-toned ones. Adam Cuerden (talk)Has about 6.8% of all FPs 18:36, 14 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment – Looks waaaaay to light for a night photo, it has an "over-HDR" look. --Janke | Talk 06:36, 21 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • This isn't a night photo, there is daylight from left hitting the high-rise buildings. It is a dusk photo with a long exposure time (car headlights), maybe slightly overexposed (in some electric lit areas) which is normal for low light situations. I think it looks fine for a dusk photo. Bammesk (talk) 13:06, 21 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Oppose – To my eye, there's something unreal about the colors in the lighted area in the foreground. Sca (talk) 13:27, 24 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose. Looks oversaturated and maybe too saturation-boosted to me. All the foreground lawns have been turned into astroturf. The less-saturated and less-contrasty area around Saint Mary's Cathedral are more what I'd expect this time of evening to actually look like. —David Eppstein (talk) 07:30, 26 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support as creator. I've cropped it slightly to get rid of the slight black sliver on the top right corner. dllu (t,c) 08:29, 30 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
