Consensual review

Rules

These rules are in accordance with the procedures normally followed in this section. If you don’t agree with them please feel free to propose changes.

  • To ask for consensual review, just change the /Promotion, /Decline to /Discuss and add your comments immediately following the review. An automatic bot will move it to the consensual review section within one day. Alternatively move the image line from the main queue to Consensual Review/Images and follow the instructions in the edit window.
  • You can move an image here if you contest the decision of the reviewer or have doubts about its eligibility (in which case an 'oppose' is assumed). In any case, please explain your reasons. Our QICBot will move it for you. When the bot moves it, you might have to revisit the nomination and expand your review into the Consensual Review format and add "votes".
  • The decision is taken by majority of opinions, including the one of the first reviewer and excluding the nominator's. After a minimum period of 48 hours since the last entry, the decision will be registered at the end of the text using the template {{QICresult}} and then executed, according to the Guidelines.
Using {{support}} or {{oppose}} will make it easier to count your vote.
Votes by anonymous contributors aren't counted
  • In case of draw, or if no additional opinions are given other than the first reviewer's, the nomination can be closed as inconclusive after 8 days, counted from its entry.
  • Turn any existing comments into bullet points—add  Oppose and  Support if necessary.
  • Add a comment explaining why you've moved the image here - be careful to stay inside the braces.
  • Preview and save with a sensible edit summary like "+Image:Example.jpg".

File:Warsaw_2023_012.jpg

  • Nomination Tops Sigismund's Column & Royal Castle Tower, Warsaw --Scotch Mist 07:55, 24 May 2024 (UTC)
  • Discussion Quality is good. But needs a more meaningful file name and on the file page a specific description of the image content instead of general information about Warsaw --Milseburg 14:24, 24 May 2024 (UTC)
    Thanks for your review - the file name is essentially compliant with QI guidelines (meaningful name\frequent categorizing), the caption includes image specific information and the description, as well as providing some background history contains direct Wikipedia links to both Sigismund's Column and the Royal Castle, which are also referenced in the categories. --Scotch Mist 08:02, 25 May 2024 (UTC) I don't think so. File name and caption are too general. In the long description you have to look for Sigismund's Column for a long time and Zygmunt's Tower is not mentioned at all. The content of the image are these two. Both are necessary. Everything else just obscures what is actually important. --Milseburg 09:44, 26 May 2024 (UTC)
    Given the relatively recent introduction of captions perhaps there should be a wider discussion on this subject relative to whether this image is acceptable for QI? --Scotch Mist 10:46, 26 May 2024 (UTC)

  • Nomination Maiden's Sad Expression - Tears of Fountain Sculpture in Łódź Palace Garden --Scotch Mist 06:42, 19 May 2024 (UTC)
  • Discussion
  •  Oppose disturbing artifacts, probably water drops. Sorry. --Moroder 10:45, 26 May 2024 (UTC)
Thanks for review although of course there are "water drops" as the statue is in a water fountain (a different scenario from photographing a sculpture in a church), but the most prominent water drop appears like a 'tear' from the sad face of the maiden creating a unique image! --Scotch Mist 22:10, 26 May 2024 (UTC)

    Agree, but there is no way to take a photo from this perspective without the wires and perhaps why we should avoid installing overhead cables where possible! --Scotch Mist 06:50, 26 May 2024 (UTC)

  • I am very conflicted,can such a small image be of quality? I would like to hear an opinion from others as well. Thank you. --GoldenArtists 13:35, 25 May 2024 (UTC)
  • Since it is a SVG file the resolution doesn't count. Ashoppio 16:27, 25 May 2024 (UTC)
  •  Support We had these discussions in the past, and there seems to be no rule that QI must be photos. This vector image seems to be good does not have any defects (I can't judge if it fully matches the original Coat of Arms though). --Plozessor 04:04, 27 May 2024 (UTC)

  •  Support Good quality. --Skander zarrad 07:31, 23 May 2024 (UTC)
  •  Oppose I disagree. CAs an the ring-shaped light reflex on the right spoils it. --Milseburg 15:51, 23 May 2024 (UTC)
  •  Oppose There is a ring shaped glare on both sides. I don't know how to eliminate the rays artifact due to the shutter around the sun--Moroder 11:59, 24 May 2024 (UTC)
  •  Comment Hi @Milseburg: , @Moroder: Can we consider [this image] --IM3847 05:16, 25 May 2024 (UTC)
Looks better, but I think there's an additional problem with the composition. The person with the bottles is unfavorable and dominant in the image with his legs cut off. Also slight tilted. --Milseburg 09:53, 26 May 2024 (UTC)
  •  Support To me it looks ok as it is (I would consider the halo rather an effect than a defect), but the retouched version seems ok also. Could consider slight perspective correction though, those distorted people in the foreground are looking a bit awkward. --Plozessor 06:11, 25 May 2024 (UTC)

  • Nomination Our Lady of Sorrows, woodcarved polychromed statue in parish church of Urtijëi. Sculptor Josef Moroder-Lusenberg --Moroder 11:15, 22 May 2024 (UTC)
  • Discussion
  •  Support Good quality -- Spurzem 13:34, 22 May 2024 (UTC)
  •  Oppose Sorry, not sharp (motion blur due to low shutter speed), noisy. --Mandula 17:02, 22 May 2024 (UTC)
  •  Comment The camera has a electronic stabilizer --Moroder 17:41, 22 May 2024 (UTC)
  •  Oppose The "electronic stabilizer" might not be enough for 1/4 second exposure time. But IMO the issue with this picture is not motion blur but rather lack of DOF. In any case, at full resolution it's noisy, but even at lower resolution only the face is sharp while other parts are blurry. --Plozessor 05:39, 23 May 2024 (UTC)
    • The concept of this series of photos was to focus on the face of the statues since there are already good pictures of the whole statue.--Moroder 10:17, 23 May 2024 (UTC)
      • But the face is making up a too small portion of the image for that case, and when zoomed in, quality is no good (noisy and blurry). --Plozessor 06:19, 25 May 2024 (UTC)
  •  Neutral I don't understand why you so often waste the possibilities offered by your camera by using very high ISO settings instead of using a tripod for such and similar motifs. This applies to the entire series of images presented. Of course, the very high image resolution still allows the photos to be used by shrinking them down to six or eight Mpixels. However, this cannot compensate for the loss of possible contrast range. --Smial 09:01, 23 May 2024 (UTC) Ps: Lighting and composition are all nice. A pity.
  • A tripod is not permitted in most churches and museums. That’s the reason why I moved from the X1C to the X2C 100C --Moroder 10:13, 23 May 2024 (UTC)
That is of course a problem, yes. But then you can't do QI in such places that could really be considered exemplary. I'm always willing to accept compromises when it comes to noise in sports photos, where you might like to use 1/4000 of a second, or moving subjects in dark surroundings (theaters, concerts). --Smial 17:11, 23 May 2024 (UTC)
Why a compromise for sport and not for artwork that you can reveal to people. Btw I don’t think that my photos are that bad :-( --Moroder 22:41, 23 May 2024 (UTC)
Because a Madonna statue like that doesn't wriggle around or run away when you take a photo of it. I didn't describe your photo as "bad" and, as you may have noticed, I didn't reject it either. But if you're no longer allowed to mention avoidable flaws here, then I'm probably in the wrong place. --Smial 12:40, 24 May 2024 (UTC)
@Smial: Please don't take me wrong. I really like your comments, but I might not always agree, which help for a good discussion. That's one of the main reasons I like QIC --Moroder 16:45, 24 May 2024 (UTC)
What strikes me is the different scale used to judge things. Almost regularly, absolutely weak images are highly praised and it is by no means rare that good or even very good images are downgraded. For some time now, this has been the reason for me not to actively participate in QIC with photos any longer and to only cast my vote sometimes. Best regards -- Spurzem 21:36, 24 May 2024 (UTC)
@Spurzem: As indicated by @Smial: , sometimes I'm opposing pictures with avoidable flaws. In a sense, when it would have been easy to take a better picture. Even if the result isn't too bad overall. QI is (at least partly) about avoiding photographic defects - and a 40 MP picture with incorrect focus is "defect" while a 10 MP picture with correct focus is not, even if the 40 MP picture might look sharp when downscaled to 10 MP. --Plozessor 06:19, 25 May 2024 (UTC)
@Plozessor: As you said before this picture is not out of focus but it lacks of DOF. There are two reasons: the light is very low in that church but the purpose of the foto was to focus on the face of the Madonna as in a portrait --Moroder 16:55, 25 May 2024 (UTC)
