Featured picture candidates Featured picture candidates are images that the community will vote on, to determine whether or not they will be highlighted as some of the finest on Commons. This page lists the candidates to become featured pictures. The picture of the day images are selected from featured pictures. Old candidates for Featured pictures are listed here. There are also chronological lists of featured pictures: 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020 and current month. For another overview of our finest pictures, take a look at our annual picture of the year election.

Formal things Nominating Guidelines for nominators Please read the complete guidelines before nominating. This is a summary of what to look for when submitting and reviewing FP candidates: Scope – In addition to falling within the Commons scope, candidates must be static two-dimensional images. All other types of files should be nominated at Commons:Featured media candidates. Licensing – Images licensed with solely "GFDL" or "GFDL and an NC-only license" are not acceptable due the restrictions placed on re-use by these licenses. Resolution – Images (with the exception of animations and SVGs) of lower resolution than 2 million pixels (pixels, not bytes) are typically rejected unless there are strong mitigating reasons. Graphics on Commons are not only viewed on conventional computer screens. They may be used in high-resolution print versions, and the images may be cropped to focus on portions of the image. See Commons:Why we need high resolution media for more information. Scans – While not official policy, Help:Scanning provides advice on the preparation of various types of images that may be useful. General quality – pictures being nominated should be of high technical quality. Digital manipulations must not deceive the viewer. Digital manipulation for the purpose of correcting flaws in an image is generally acceptable, provided it is limited, well-done, and not intended to deceive. For photographs, typical acceptable manipulations include cropping, perspective correction, sharpening/blurring, and color/exposure correction. More extensive manipulations, such as removal of distracting background elements, should be clearly described in the image text, by means of the {{Retouched picture}} template. Undescribed or mis-described manipulations which cause the main subject to be misrepresented are never acceptable. For images made from more than one photo, you can use the {{Panorama}} or {{Focus stacked image}} templates. For historic images, acceptable manipulations might include digitally fixing rips, removal of stains, cleanup of dirt, and, for mass-produced artworks such as engravings, removal of flaws inherent to the particular reproduction, such as over-inking. Careful color adjustments may be used to bring out the original work from the signs of ageing, though care should be taken to restore a natural appearance. The original artistic intent should be considered when deciding whether it is appropriate to make a change. Edits to historic material should be documented in detail within the file description, and an unedited version should be uploaded and cross linked for comparison. Value – our main goal is to feature most valuable pictures from all others. Pictures should be in some way special, so please be aware that: almost all sunsets are aesthetically pleasing, and most such pictures are not in essence different from others, night-shots are pretty but normally more details can be shown on pictures taken at daytime, beautiful does not always mean valuable. Artworks, illustrations, and historical documents There are many different types of non-photographic media, including engravings, watercolors, paintings, etchings, and various others. Hence, it is difficult to set hard-and-fast guidelines. However, generally speaking, works can be divided into three types: Those that can be scanned, those that must be photographed, and those specifically created to illustrate a subject. Works that must be photographed include most paintings, sculptures, works too delicate or too unique to allow them to be put on a scanner, and so on. For these, the requirements for photography, below, may be mostly followed; however, it should be noted that photographs which cut off part of the original painting are generally not considered featurable. Works that may be scanned include most works created by processes that allow for mass distribution − for instance, illustrations published with novels. For these, it is generally accepted that a certain amount of extra manipulation is permissible to remove flaws inherent to one copy of the work, since the particular copy – of which hundreds, or even thousands of copies also exist – is not so important as the work itself. Works created to serve a purpose include diagrams, scientific illustrations, and demonstrations of contemporary artistic styles. For these, the main requirement is that they serve their purpose well. Provided the reproduction is of high quality, an artwork generally only needs one of the following four things to be featurable: Notable in its own right: Works by major artists, or works that are otherwise notable, such as the subjects of a controversy. Of high artistic merit: Works which, while not particularly well known, are nonetheless wonderful examples of their particular type or school of art. Of high historic merit: The historical method values very early illustrations of scenes and events over later ones. Hence, a work of poor quality depicting a contemporaneous historical event can be nonetheless important, even if the artistic merit is relatively low. Likewise, scans or photographs of important documents – which may not be at all artistic – nonetheless may be highly valuable if the documents are historically significant. The reason for the image's historical importance should be briefly stated in the nomination, for those reviewers unfamiliar with the subject. Of high illustrative merit: Works that illustrate or help explain notable subjects, for instance, illustrations of books, scientific subjects, or technical processes. The amount of artistic merit required for these will vary by subject, but, for instance, an illustration that makes the working of a complicated piece of machinery very clear need not be notable as a piece of artwork as well, whereas an illustration for a book might well be expected to reach much higher artistic standards. Digital restorations must also be well documented. An unedited version of the image should be uploaded locally, when possible, and cross-linked from the file hosting page. Edit notes should be specified in detail, such as "Rotated and cropped. Dirt, scratches, and stains removed. Histogram adjusted and colors balanced." Photographs On the technical side, we have focus, exposure, composition, movement control and depth of field. Focus – every important object in the picture should normally be sharp. Exposure refers to the shutter diaphragm combination that renders an image with a tonal curve that ideally is able to represent in acceptable detail shadows and highlights within the image. This is called latitude. Images can be on the low side of the tonal curve (low range), the middle (middle range) or high side (upper range). Lack of shadow detail is not necessarily a negative characteristic. In fact, it can be part of the desired effect. Burned highlights in large areas are a distracting element. Composition refers to the arrangement of the elements within the image. The "Rule of thirds" is one useful guideline. Horizons should almost never be placed in the middle, where they "cut" the image in half. Often, a horizon creating a top or bottom third of the space works better. The main idea is to use space to create a dynamic image. Foreground and background – foreground and background objects may be distracting. You should check that something in front of the subject doesn't hide important elements and that something in background doesn't spoil the composition (for example that the streetlight doesn't "stand" on someone's head). Movement control refers to the manner in which motion is represented in the image. Motion can be frozen or blurred. Neither one is better than the other. It is the intention of representation. Movement is relative within the objects of the image. For example, photographing a race car that appears frozen in relation to the background does not give us a sense of speed or motion, so technique dictates to represent the car in a frozen manner but with a blurred background, thus creating the sense of motion, this is called "panning". On the other hand, representing a basketball player in a high jump frozen in relation to everything else, due to the "unnatural" nature of the pose would be a good photograph. Depth of field (DOF) refers to the area in focus in front of and beyond main subject. Depth of field is chosen according to the specific needs of every picture. Large or small DOF can either way add or subtract to the quality of the image. Low depth of field can be used to bring attention to the main subject, separating it from the general environment. High depth of field can be used to emphasize space. Short focal length lenses (wide angles) yield large DOF, and vice versa, long focal lenses (telephotos) have shallow DOF. Small apertures yield large DOF and conversely, large apertures yield shallow DOF. On the graphic elements we have shape, volume, color, texture, perspective, balance, proportion, noise, etc. Shape refers to the contour of the main subjects. Volume refers to the three dimensional quality of the object. This is accomplished using side light. Contrary to general belief, front lighting is not the best light. It tends to flatten subject. Best light of day is early morning or late afternoon. Color is important. Over saturated colors are not good. Texture refers to the quality of the surface of the subject. It is enhanced by side lighting… it is the "feel" to the touch. Perspective refers to the "angle" accompanied by lines that disappear into a vanishing point that may or may not be inside the image. Balance refers to the arrangement of subjects within the image that can either give equal weight or appear to be heavier on one side. Proportion refers to the relation of size of objects in picture. Generally, we tend to represent small objects small in relation to others, but a good technique is to represent small objects large contrary to natural size relationship. For example, a small flower is given preponderance over a large mountain…. This is called inversion of scales. Not all elements must be present. Some photographs can be judged on individual characteristics, that is, an image can be about color or texture, or color AND texture, etc. Noise refers to unwanted corruption of color brightness and quality and can be caused by underexposure. It is not a desirable quality and can be grounds for opposition. Symbolic meaning or relevance … Opinion wars can begin here … A bad picture of a very difficult subject is better than a good picture of an ordinary subject. A good picture of a difficult subject is an extraordinary photograph. Images can be culturally biased by the photographer and/or the observer. The meaning of the image should be judged according to the cultural context of the image, not by the cultural context of the observer. An image "speaks" to people, and it has the capacity to evoke emotion such as tenderness, rage, rejection, happiness, sadness, etc. Good photographs are not limited to evoking pleasant sensations … You will maximise the chances of your nominations succeeding if you read the complete guidelines before nominating. Video and audio Please nominate videos, sounds, music, etc. at Commons:Featured media candidates. Set nominations If a group of images are thematically connected in a direct and obvious way, they can be nominated together as a set. A set should fall under one of the following types: Faithful digital reproductions of works notable in their own right, which the original author clearly intended to be viewed as a set. Examples: pages in a pamphlet, crops (puzzle pieces) of a prohibitively large scan, a pair of pendant paintings. Not acceptable: Arbitrary selection of sample works by an artist. A sequence of images showing the passage of time. They could depict frames of a moving/changing object or a static object during different times of day or different seasons. Examples: diagrams illustrating a process, steps of a dance, metamorphosis of an insect, maps/drawings/photos of the same subject over the years (frame of view should be more or less the same). A group of images depicting the same subject from different viewpoints, preferably taken under the same lighting conditions when possible. Examples: Exterior and interior of a building, different facades of a building, different interior views, obverse and inverse of a banknote/coin. Not acceptable: A selection of different rooms in a skyscraper, the facade of a church plus an organ, any images of fundamentally different scopes. A group of images which show all possible variations of a particular class of object. Examples: Male and female versions of an animal (preferably in the same setting), all known species of a genus. Not acceptable: A few breeds of cats (unless they share a defining characteristic and represent all possible examples of that). Simple tutorial for new users Tutorial: Nominate on COM:FPC How to nominate in 8 simple steps STEP 1 STEP 1 STEP 2 STEP 2 STEP 3 STEP 3 STEP 4 STEP 4 STEP 5 STEP 5 STEP 6 STEP 6 STEP 7 STEP 7 STEP 8 STEP 8 (last step) NOTE: You don't need to worry if you are not sure, other users will try their best to help you. Adding a new nomination If you believe that you have found or created an image that could be considered valuable, with appropriate image description and licensing, then do the following. Step 1: copy the image name into this box, after the text already present in the box, for example, Commons:Featured picture candidates/File:Your image filename.jpg. Then click on the "create new nomination" button. All single files: For renominations, simply add /2 after the filename. For example, Commons:Featured picture candidates/File:Foo.jpg/2 All set nomination pages should begin "Commons:Featured picture candidates/Set/", e.g. "Commons:Featured picture candidates/Set/My Nomination". Step 2: follow the instructions on the page that you are taken to, and save that page. Step 3: manually insert a link to the created page at the top of Commons:Featured picture candidates/candidate list: Click here, and add the following line to the TOP of the nominations list: {{Commons:Featured picture candidates/File:Your image filename.jpg}} Strongly recommended: Please add a gallery page and section heading from the list at Commons FP galleries. Write the code as Page name#Section heading. For example: Commons:Featured pictures/Sports#Individual sports Optional: if you are not the creator of the image, please notify him/her using {{subst:FPC-notice|Your image filename.jpg}} -- ~~~~. Note: Do not add an 'Alternative' image when you create a nomination. Selecting the best image is part of the nomination process. Alternatives are for different crops or post-processing of the original image, if they are suggested by voters. Voting Editors whose accounts have at least 10 days and 50 edits can vote. Everybody can vote for his/her own nominations. Anonymous (IP) votes are not allowed. You may use the following templates: {{Support}} ( Support), {{Oppose}} ( Oppose), {{Neutral}} ( Neutral), {{Comment}} ( Comment), {{Info}} ( Info), {{Question}} ( Question), {{Request}} ( Request). You may indicate that the image has no chance of success with the template {{FPX|reason - ~~~~}}, where reason explains why the image is clearly unacceptable as a FP. The template can only be used when there are no support votes other than the one from the nominator. A well-written review helps participants (photographers, nominators and reviewers) improve their skills by providing insight into the strengths and weaknesses of a picture. Explain your reasoning, especially when opposing a candidate (which has been carefully selected by the author/nominator). English is the most widely understood language on Commons, but any language may be used in your review. A helpful review will often reference one or more of the criteria listed above. Unhelpful reasons for opposing include: No reason "I don't like it" and other empty assessments "You can do better" and other criticisms of the author/nominator rather than the image Remember also to put your signature (~~~~). Featured picture delisting candidates Over time, featured picture standards change. It may be decided that for some pictures which were formerly "good enough", this is no longer the case. This is for listing an image which you believe no longer deserves to be a featured picture. For these, vote: Text to use Displays as Meaning {{Keep}}  Keep It deserves to remain a featured picture {{Delist}}  Delist It does not deserve to be a featured picture anymore. This can also be used for cases in which a previous version of an image was promoted to FP, but a newer version of the image has been made and is believed to be superior to the old version, e.g. a newly edited version of a photo or a new scan of a historical image. In particular, it is not intended for replacing older photos of a particular subject with newer photos of the same subject, or in any other case where the current FP and the proposed replacement are essentially different images. For these nominations, vote: Text to use Displays as Meaning {{Keep}}  Keep Do not replace the old image with the new image as a FP. {{Delistandreplace}}  Delist and replace Replace the current FP with the proposed replacement. If you believe that some picture no longer meets the criteria for FP, you can nominate it for delisting, copying the image name into this box, after the text already present in the box: In the new delisting nomination page just created you should include: Information on the origin of the image (creator, uploader); A link to the original FP nomination (it will appear under "Links" on the image description page); Your reasons for nominating the image and your username. After that, you have to manually insert a link to the created page at the top of Commons:Featured picture candidates/candidate list. As a courtesy, leave an informative note on the talk page(s) of the original creator, uploader(s), and nominator with a link to the delisting candidate. {{subst:FPC-notice-removal}} can be used for this purpose. Featured picture candidate policy General rules The voting period is 9 complete days counted from the nomination. After the end of this period the result will be determined. Votes added on day 10 and after are not counted. Nominations by anonymous contributors are welcome Contributions to discussion by anonymous contributors are welcome Only registered contributors whose Commons accounts have at least 10 days and 50 edits can vote. Exception: registered users can always vote in their own nominations no matter the account age and number of edits. Nominations do not count as votes. Support must be explicitly stated. Nominators and authors can withdraw their nominated pictures at any time. This is done by adding the following template: {{Withdraw}} ~~~~. Also, remember that if more than one version is nominated, you should explicitly state which version you are withdrawing. Remember, the goal of the Wikimedia Commons project is to provide a central repository for free images to be used by all Wikimedia projects, including possible future projects. This is not simply a repository for Wikipedia images, so images should not be judged here on their suitability for that project. Rules of the 5th day based on vote counts on day number 5 (day of nomination + 5) Pictures are speedy declined if they have no support (apart from the nominator). Pictures are speedy promoted if they have 10 support votes or more and no oppose votes. (Note that if it takes more than five days to reach this threshold, the picture can be promoted as soon as it is reached.) Once either speedy criterion is reached, the voting period is considered closed, and no more votes may be added. Pictures tagged {{FPX}} may be removed from the list 24 hours after the tag was applied, provided there are no support votes other than that of the nominator. Pictures tagged {{FPD}} (FP-Denied) may be removed from the list 24 hours after the tag was applied. Only two active nominations by the same user (that is, nominations under review and not yet closed) are allowed. The main purpose of this measure is to contribute to a better average quality of nominations, by driving nominators/creators to choose carefully the pictures presented to the forum. Featuring and delisting rules A candidate will become a featured picture in compliance with following conditions: Appropriate license (of course) At least seven  Support votes (or 7  Delist votes for a delist) at the end of nine days Ratio of supporting/opposing votes at least 2/1 (a two-thirds majority); same for delist/keep votes Two different versions of the same picture cannot both be featured, but only the one with higher level of support, as determined by the closer. Whenever the closer is not sure which version has consensus to be featured, he/she should attempt to contact the voters to clarify their opinions if not clear from the nomination page. The delisting rules are the same as those for FPs, with voting taking place over the same time period. The rule of the 5th day is applied to delisting candidates that have received no votes to delist, other than that of the proposer, by day 5. There is also a limit of two active delisting nominations per user, which is in addition to the limit of two active regular nominations. The FPCBot handles the vote counting and closing in most cases, current exceptions are candidates containing multiple versions of the image as well as FPXed and withdrawn nominations. Any experienced user may close the requests not handled by the bot. For instructions on how to close nominations, see Commons:Featured picture candidates/What to do after voting is finished. Also note that there is a manual review stage between when the bot has counted the votes and before the nomination is finally closed by the bot; this manual review can be done by any user familiar with the voting rules. Above all, be polite Please don't forget that the image you are judging is somebody's work. Avoid using phrases like "it looks terrible" and "I hate it". If you must oppose, please do so with consideration. Also remember that your command of English might not be the same as someone else's. Choose your words with care. Happy judging… and remember... all rules can be broken.

Dear Peulle,Mohiniyattam is, in fact, a form of dance with calm and quiet motions when compared to other Indian classical dances. The footwork is soft, sliding and synchronous with the musical beat and acting. The body movement is sometimes described in terms of calming images of nature as the swinging of the palm leaves, and the gentle undulating of ocean waves.

And right side cropped.-- Shagil Kannur (talk) 08:33, 4 September 2020 (UTC)

And the defects there are on the image... they are rather small and don't obstruct the view.

  the railing is an integral part of the path that leads to Piazzale Michelangelo, as I wrote. I integrated it in the photo just to highlight a photo of Florence taken from a particular point of the city, otherwise it would have been "the usual tourist photo" taken from Piazzale Michelangelo. This is the explanation. I respect your opinion and thanks anyway.PROPOLI87 (talk) 21:03, 31 August 2020 (UTC)PROPOLI87PROPOLI87 (talk) 21:03, 31 August 2020 (UTC)

  Thanks for your explanation. I respect your decision to include it, but maintain that it does not connect to the rest of the image from a compositional point of view. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 21:26, 31 August 2020 (UTC)

•  Conditional weak support on fixing the clockwise tilt, which is really obvious and needs fixing. I actually like the railing and I think it does help the composition by providing something else to look at in the foreground. The image quality is on the low side for FPC but it is a beautiful view and I have successfully nominated images with similar quality issues recently e.g. here. The colours in this image are nice, and it's unmistakeably Florence; the quality is good enough to use the image to illustrate the city. Overall I think this is on the borderline of FP for me, but only if the tilt is fixed. Cmao20 (talk) 15:06, 1 September 2020 (UTC)

I corrected the tilt, slightly. Thank you. Florence is splendid, and the lesser known corners of the city are worth highlighting. Florence is full of lesser known monuments, and knowing their history you can breathe the air of antiquity, of Florentine art, of its artists and artisans who have lived it over time. I will try to illustrate the lesser known Florence. The secret Florence.PROPOLI87 (talk) 07:36, 2 September 2020 (UTC)PROPOLI87PROPOLI87 (talk) 07:36, 2 September 2020 (UTC)

•  Oppose Surprised no one's mentioned the WB, which seems too warm even for Italy in the summertime. Also, the highlights on some of the houses in front are a little too strong and could have been toned down. Lastly, the sharpness issues, per Ikan. Daniel Case (talk) 03:11, 3 September 2020 (UTC)

•  Weak support I do think the vignetting need not be quite so strong, though I sort of understand that its application seems to reduce the need for a crop.

•  Info This file was recently overwritten in violation of COM:OVERWRITE but I will be commenting on the version uploaded by Dcoetzee: not in SVG; quite small for a digital map; the graphic quality is subpar with pixels visible everywhere; the parts where political boundaries follow the rivers are badly drawn; no border between Czernihów/Chernihiv Voivodeship and Kijów/Kiev/Kyiv Voivodeship; Kijów/Kiev/Kyiv Voivodeship has its southernmost edge excluded for no reason; the shapes of Estonia, Ingria, and Gulf of Finland are wrong (see here); the angle of Sweden's coastline is too slanted; the island of Saaremaa/Ösel is shown as part of Denmark but Blekinge and Gotland are not; the placement and size of labels are messy (Original nomination)
•  Delist File:Podział administracyjny I RP.png is a much better map that fulfills the same purpose -- StellarHalo (talk) 06:20, 31 August 2020 (UTC)
•  Delist per nom. It's not a bad map at all, certainly one of the best we had in 2005. But it is much less clear than it could be (applies to both the featured version and the one uploaded recently). Some quick suggestions for simple tricks to clean this up considerably, if somebody wants to give it a try: There is not much reason for the surrounding countries to have different colors. That's only distracting from the color coding of the relevant areas. Just let them all have the same color and label them in the map, there's enough space for that. Sweden & Denmark can be separated by adding some border lines between the islands. Labels intersect with line features like rivers way more often than necessary, many of them could be moved to a better place. Addition of light halos to the label text can also help readability in areas where intersections with line features cannot be avoided. Rivers and those brownish-grey border lines are missing from the legend. The latter seem to belong together with the labels in all caps, but that's something you have to guess because the labels use a different color. The 2020 version's legend is pieced together, even using 2 different fonts. No info on the spatial reference (Map datum/projection/CRS) is given – depending on which projection was used, some of the shapes criticized above as being wrong/distorted might actually be correct, but we have no way of knowing that. --El Grafo (talk) 08:48, 31 August 2020 (UTC)

   Comment Thank you for your review. If I am allowed to ask a very stupid question: What is the main subject which is too far away? I did not want to take a photo of the barn, etc., but of the whole view. — But maybe we could crop the whole image radically at the bottom; see image note. Would that help? And what do other people think: Would such a radical crop improve the photo or would it ruin it? Thank you all, --Aristeas (talk) 14:42, 31 August 2020 (UTC)

•  Comment For whatever it's worth, I think it would help the composition. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 16:09, 31 August 2020 (UTC)

• Aristeas, I prefer it as it is but I'm happy if you want to add an alternative to the nomination with the different crop. I would support that one too, although I'm not personally convinced it's an improvement. Cmao20 (talk) 17:51, 31 August 2020 (UTC)

In this photograph there are several elements, and each person will have a different perception because we all have a different way of observing. For me, the barn is an important touch in the composition since otherwise it would be a common evening. The bottom cut allows a closer look at what really matters in this composition and eliminates the distraction of street repair, however, it would merit a horizontal cut to bring the composition back into balance. --Wilfredor (talk) 19:34, 31 August 2020 (UTC)

•  Comment Thank you, Wilfredor for your explanation, and thank you, Ikan, Cmao20 and Palauenc05, for your hints! I will give it a try and see how a cropped version would look … (I will comment about results and maybe upload an alternative later.) --Aristeas (talk) 07:31, 1 September 2020 (UTC)
•  Comment I think the main problem with the patch might be that it is the only thing that's even close to a visual anchor point in the entire foreground. Some kind of interesting foreground feature could be what's needed to bring this to the next level. I also wonder if a longer focal length shot from further back could have helped by compressing the mostly empty middle ground a bit and bringing the barn closer. --El Grafo (talk) 08:08, 1 September 2020 (UTC)

•  Comment Sorry for the long delay. I have taken the time to experiment with various crops; this experiments taught me a lot. Some of the alternative crops were interesting, but none of them was (in my eyes) really better than the current image, so I have decided not to crop this photo. (Of course, if somebody would use it for anything, he/she is always free to crop to his/her taste.) You can put this as you want: either this photo is OK as it is, or it is just incorrigible bad ;–).

This does not mean that I do not want to take advise and to learn; on the contrary, I am always open for suggestions on my photos. Just in this case I am not convinced changing the photo would really improve it.

The barn and the trees, the wood in the left background, and the other features give the image some kind of balanced tension which I cannot explain, but which I like; there is even some kind of correspondence between the field and the sky with their different colours and warm/cold contrast; and if I change the image format too much, this balanced tension and this correspondence are lost. Therefore I do not apply the radical crop which I had considered in my comment above. Of course cropping the bottommost 400 to 500 pixels out is an option which actually may improve the image; but then, the patch from the street is placed in the bottom left corner and emphasized even more, so I guess this crop would not satisfy everybody ;–). I have also tried to clone out the patch from the street; I often clone out smaller irritating stuff from my photos, but somehow I hestiate to do so with that patch. This is a rural road, and call me stubborn but I feel that such patches are what makes the road real and distinguishes our photos from computer-generated graphics. ;–)

It is true that there is nothing specifically interesting in the foreground; and I know, every textbook on photography tells us that especially wide-angle photos need some point of interest in the foreground. This is not a wide-angle photo (taken at 55mm focal length on full-frame), but it certainly looks similar. But there was nothing in the foreground, and nevertheless this view appealed to me and, as the votes show, also to some other people. Sometimes it may be OK to leave the rules of the textbooks. As Basile put it (thank you!), this is an “airy composition”, its actual subject is not the barn or this or that tree, but the free airspace over the hills filled with warm light and the width of the view, hold together by the leading line of the rural road and the balanced tension between the darker points, and therefore it seems appropriate to me that there is some emptiness in this photo, even in the foreground.

Please excuse my wordiness! I do not want to praise myself or this photo (I actually think of me as a very defective photographer ;–)), I just want to justify, somewhat, why I prefer the photo as it is. Thank you all for your statements, hints and ideas, and all the best, --Aristeas (talk) 15:34, 2 September 2020 (UTC)

Thank you for your speech very loaded with motivating messages, they helped me a lot (or maybe it's an accidental translation from google translator). --Wilfredor (talk) 22:21, 2 September 2020 (UTC)

No, thanks for your "wordiness", Aristeas! I come here to learn and I'm always happy to see others share their thought process. The longer I look at it, the more I see that patch as a feature rather than a problem. Maybe it actually is that foreground feature that I thought was missing. And FWIW, I completely agree with not radically cropping the bottom. I've played around with it a bit myself, and I think personally I'd crop away a bit on the right, just to the left of that one tree on the ridge (I'll leave an annotation). It's a bit less airy like that, but it feels "right" to me. A bit more compact, pronounces both the patch and the barn more and seems to somehow balance it … I'd maybe also cut a bit of the sky, but I'm not so sure about that. Anyway: I like it! --El Grafo (talk) 15:00, 4 September 2020 (UTC)

I went with a horizontal crop to emphasize the inter-play of the man-made lighthouse surrounded by nature’s elements of land, sea and clouds. Ikan’s idea, supported by King of Hearts, of having more water and cloud space definitely helps. Have also incorporated selective sharpening of the lighthouse as mentioned by Poco and others. Overall, I like this version better.

• Weak  Support The only thing detracting from this is the bright top left corner (a bad place to have something noticeably brighter than its surroundings), but I've played with various crops and haven't found one I was satisfied with. Overall the lighting and mood make this an FP. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 02:28, 2 September 2020 (UTC)

Alt

•  Support I support either version Poco a poco (talk) 19:03, 30 August 2020 (UTC)
•  Oppose Sorry but I much prefer the other one. The composition of this one is too unbalanced, the smaller mini-lake is too close to the top. The original was nearly perfect for me. Cmao20 (talk) 23:05, 30 August 2020 (UTC)
•  Support per above. I feel like the other composition is the one that's unbalanced. -- Ikan Kekek (talk)—Preceding comment was added at 00:04, 31 August 2020‎ (UTC)

•  Neutral The composition is better than the other one but the image quality is still imperfect and the shadows look like they've been lifted too much. I wouldn't vote to delist it if it were already an FP, but I don't think I'm sure it should be promoted either. Cmao20 (talk) 15:43, 29 August 2020 (UTC)

•  Oppose This is a little bit better, but technically it still has a curious blend of oversharpening on the monument's edges yet very soft detail, and compositionally there's still too much distracting detail elsewhere in the image. Daniel Case (talk) 16:41, 31 August 2020 (UTC)
•  Oppose Actual details in this image are closer to 2mp. There were also some pretty destructive processing methods applied. -- KennyOMG (talk) 16:44, 31 August 2020 (UTC)

Closing a featured picture promotion request

The bot

Note that the description below is for manual closure, this is mostly not needed anymore as there exists a bot (FPCBot) that counts the votes and handles the process below. However after the bot has counted the votes a manual review step is used to make sure the count is correct before the bot again picks up the work.

Manual procedure

Any experienced user may close requests.

1. In Commons:Featured picture candidates/candidate list click on the title/link of the candidate image, then [edit].
   Add the result of the voting at the bottom (on a new line with a space first)
{{FPC-results-reviewed|support=x|oppose=x|neutral=x|featured=("yes" or "no")|gallery=xxx (leave blank if "featured=no")|sig=~~~~}}
(for example see Commons:Featured picture candidates/File:The Bridge (August 2013).jpg). See also {{FPC-results-reviewed}}.
2. Also edit the title of the candidate image template and add after the image tag
   featured or not featured
   For example:
   === [[:File:XXXXX.jpg]] ===
   becomes
   === [[:File:XXXXX.jpg]], featured ===
3. Save your edit.
4. If it is featured:
   • Add the picture to the list of the four most recently featured pictures of an appropriate gallery of Commons:Featured pictures, list as the first one and delete the last one, so that the number is four again.
   • Also add the picture to an appropriate gallery and section of Commons:Featured pictures, list. Click on the most appropriate link beneath where you just added it as one of the four images.
   • Add the template {{Assessments|featured=1}} to the image description page.
     • If it was an alternative image, use the subpage/com-nom parameter: For example, if File:Foo.jpg was promoted at Commons:Featured picture candidates/File:Bar.jpg, use {{Assessments|featured=1|com-nom=Bar.jpg}}
     • If the image is already featured on another wikipedia, just add featured=1 to the Assessments template. For instance {{Assessments|enwiki=1}} becomes {{Assessments|enwiki=1|featured=1}}
     • Add the picture to the chronological list of featured pictures. Put it in the gallery using this format: File:xxxxx.jpg|# - '''Headline'''<br>created by [[User:xxxxx|xxxxx]], uploaded by [[User:xxxxx|xxxxx]], nominated by [[User:xxxxx|xxxxx]]
     • The # should be replaced by 1 for the first image nominated that month, and counts up after that. Have a look at the other noms on that page for examples.
     • You may simplify this if multiple things were done by the same user. E.g.: File:xxxxx.jpg|# - '''Headline'''<br>created, uploaded, and nominated by [[User:xxxxx|xxxxx]]
   • Add == FP promotion ==
     {{FPpromotion|File:XXXXX.jpg}} to the Talk Page of the nominator.
5. As the last step (whether the image is featured or not; including {{FPX}}ed, {{FPD}}ed and withdrawn nominations), open Commons:Featured picture candidates/candidate list, click on [edit], and find the transclusion of the nomination you've just finished closing. It will be of the form:
   {{Commons:Featured picture candidates/File:XXXXX.jpg}}
   Copy it to the bottom of Commons:Featured picture candidates/Log/September 2020), save that page, and remove it from the candidate list.

Closing a delisting request

1. In Commons:Featured picture candidates/candidate list click on the title/link of the candidate image, then [edit].
   Add the result of the voting at the bottom (on a new line with a space first)
   '''Result:''' x delist, x keep, x neutral => /not/ delisted. ~~~~
   (for example see Commons:Featured picture candidates/removal/Image:Astrolabe-Persian-18C.jpg)
2. Also edit the title of the delisting candidate image template and add after the image tag
   delisted or not delisted
   For example:
   === [[:File:XXXXX.jpg]] === becomes === [[:File:XXXXX.jpg]], delisted ===
3. Move the actual template from Commons:Featured picture candidates/candidate list to the bottom of the actual month page on Commons:Featured picture candidates/Log/September 2020.
4. If the outcome was not delisted, stop here. If it is delisted:
   1. Remove the picture from Commons:Featured pictures, list and any subpages.
   2. Edit the picture's description as follows:
      1. Replace the template {{Featured picture}} on the image description page by {{Delisted picture}}. If using the {{Assessments}} template, change featured=1 to featured=2 (do not change anything related to its status in other featured picture processes).
      2. Remove the image from all categories beginning with "Featured [pictures]" (example: Featured night shots, Featured pictures from Wiki Loves Monuments 2016, Featured pictures of Paris).
      3. Remove the "Commons quality assessment" claim (d:Property:P6731) "Wikimedia Commons featured picture" from the picture's Structured data.
   3. Add a delisting-comment to the original entry in chronological list of featured pictures in bold-face, e. g. delisted 2007-07-19 (1-6) with (1-6) meaning 1 keep and 6 delist votes (change as appropriate). The picture in the gallery is not removed.
5. If this is a Delist and Replace, the delisting and promotion must both be done manually. To do the promotion, follow the steps in the above section. Note that the assessment tag on the file page and the promotion tag on the nominator's talk page won't pick up the /replace subpage that these nominations use.

Manual archiving of a withdrawn nomination

1. In Commons:Featured picture candidates/candidate list click on the title/link of the candidate image, then [edit].
   In the occasion that the FPCbot will not mark withdrawn nominations with a "to be reviewed" template and put them in Category:Featured picture candidates awaiting closure review just like if they were on the usual list, put the following "no" template:
{{FPC-results-reviewed|support=X|oppose=X|neutral=X|featured=no|gallery=|sig=--~~~~}}

2. Also edit the title of the candidate image template and add after the image tag
   not featured
   For example:
   === [[:File:XXXXX.jpg]] ===
   becomes
   === [[:File:XXXXX.jpg]], not featured ===
3. Save your edit.
4. Open Commons:Featured picture candidates/candidate list, click on [edit], and find the transclusion of the nomination. It will be of the form:
   {{Commons:Featured picture candidates/File:XXXXX.jpg}}
   Copy it to the bottom of Commons:Featured picture candidates/Log/September 2020), save that page, and remove it from the candidate list.
