Strong support Very striking environment with fantastic candle lights. Appealing composition (like this one by the same author) with living subject, and excellent quality considering the low light intensity. 6 second shot, wow! Warm and beautiful -- Basile Morin (talk) 01:23, 22 August 2024 (UTC)

- Fixed. As many pictures were taken that day on a tripod, I could improve this effect with another frame. Side note: the image notes (gadget) should be placed on the nomination page, not on the file page, per Commons:Image annotations#Examples of inappropriate and not-informative notes. Thanks for your review -- Basile Morin (talk) 15:45, 21 August 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks! I didn't realize that I ended up on the wrong page with that. Its a great shot! Glad you had another frame. The depth, the color, its like peering into a secret world. Needsmoreritalin (talk) 18:28, 21 August 2024 (UTC)

- Can you please try to avoid escalating this into uncivil territory? I'm only replying because you mentioned that this image has terrible quality, which I disagree with. Additionally, you didn't specify why you think the image has poor quality. The nomination is currently passing in QIC, so I'm confused about why you believe this image has terrible quality.

- Oh, okay. I'll forgive you. However, I'll suggest to include a reason in your oppose votes so the author can use thr criticism to fix the image. Thanks in advance! Zzzs (talk) 22:15, 19 August 2024 (UTC)

- I see what you are saying. I did shoot at f/4 (Prime lens at 500mm without TC) to focus on the eyes and face of the adult ibis and the exchange of food. As for the PNG, I did a quick check and it seems like I'm the only dork using it. I use PNG for lossless compression, preservation of image quality and colors. Wikipedia's suggestion is JPG, so moving forward I will post JPGs. But my previously uploaded images, already uploaded, may appear on FPC as .PNG.
- Thank you for your thoughtful and considerate feedback. Needsmoreritalin (talk) 17:23, 20 August 2024 (UTC)
- Yes, now leave as PNG, if you put jpeg over it will take another space so OK now. I will actually remove minus, to neutral. Checked again. --Mile (talk) 07:24, 21 August 2024 (UTC)

- Weak
- No. I'm not quite sure what you mean by over-sharpened. Isn't sharpness fixed when shooting? I disclosed the edits made to the image and the highlight/shadow protection was adjusted so there's more detail in hightlights (especially all the white snow in bright sunlight) and lowlights. AHeneen (talk) 21:48, 20 August 2024 (UTC)
- It depends on your camera settings and your software when editing. Sharpening can be applied in both stages. August (talk) 22:52, 20 August 2024 (UTC)

- @Basile Morin Oh yes, of course.
- I thought that the section “description” was to present the image here as a candidate, not the description for the image itself. XD LucaLindholm (talk) 14:11, 16 August 2024 (UTC)
- @ArionStar Mmh… I could take off a little bit of quality in order to lessen the file size, and then upload it on a different file page.
- For now let’s concentrate on the img itself and the adjustments made on it. LucaLindholm (talk) 14:19, 16 August 2024 (UTC)
- Yup, a little bit “sizey”, but definitely worth it. :D LucaLindholm (talk) 14:52, 16 August 2024 (UTC)
- Well, the original was way worse. Unfortunately some little part are missing already from the original, because at the time the daguerrotype produced some black areas around the images. The frames theirselves are in the best condition possible for an image of that type and it is just that that is so good: zooming in let's you see so many particular detail that one wouldn't expect. LucaLindholm (talk) 18:25, 17 August 2024 (UTC)

Weak support While I do agree that the panorama is badly stacked, note that the image was taken more than 150 years ago. Unless there's a way better example around the same time, I think we should give it some slack. --Zzzs (talk) 17:09, 18 August 2024 (UTC)
- @Zzzs exactly: I just took off the completely obscured areas with no visual info available. I really don't think there could be a better version than the one that is alrady available here on Commons, because I think that the then photographer thought it was already good in that way.

- Thanks for your comment. @Urban Versis 32: I'm happy to propose the alternative below if preferred. But it's a useful scale, in my opinion (like here or here), otherwise you wonder what's special in this painting. It's difficult to figure out the proportions without any clue, as it could be a standard 20 by 30 cm, or larger. The scale is discreet in the background -- Basile Morin (talk) 04:01, 15 August 2024 (UTC)
- That is true. It seems like most prefer the scale, however I will remain neutral on this one and support the alt. Urban Versis 32KB ⚡ (talk | contribs) 23:50, 15 August 2024 (UTC)

- It needs categories. Yann (talk) 18:48, 14 August 2024 (UTC)
- Yup, those indeed look like Fuji's notorious worms! Adobe's default raw engine does a terrible job with X-Trans files, but there's two ways to get around it: i) Use Adobe's Enhance feature (I see this image was edited in Lightroom's mobile version, not sure if it's already available there); or ii) use another raw processor (e.g., DXO or Capture One). Dktue, if you don't have access to Enhance/DXO/Capture One, I can demosaic the raw file for you and send you a linear DNG file for editing. Julesvernex2 (talk) 19:44, 15 August 2024 (UTC)
