[edit]Nominierung
[edit]Leitsätze für die Nominierung
[edit]Bitte lies alle Leitsätze vor der Nominierung.
Dies ist eine Zusammenfassung von Kriterien, auf die du bei der Einreichung und Bewertung von Exzellenz-Kandidaten achten solltest:
- Auflösung – Fotografien mit einer Auflösung unter 2 Millionen Pixel werden in der Regel abgelehnt, außer unter „stark mildernden Umständen“. Beachte, dass ein 1600 x 1200 großes Foto 1,92 Megapixel hat und damit weniger als 2 Millionen.
- Grafiken auf Commons können auch in anderen Weisen als zur Anzeige auf einen herkömmlichen Computerbildschirm verwendet werden. Sie können auch als Ausdruck oder zur Anzeige auf hochauflösenden Bildschirmen verwendet werden. Man kann nicht vorhersagen, welche Geräte in Zukunft Anwendung finden, deshalb ist es wichtig, dass die nominierten Bilder die höchstmögliche Auflösung haben.
- Eingescannte Bilder – solange es keine offizielle Richtlinie gibt, findet man unter Help:Scannen für verschiedene Typen von Bildern Hinweise für die Vorbereitung, die hilfreich sein können.
- Fokus – jedes wichtige Objekt im Bild sollte normalerweise scharf sein.
- Vordergrund und Hintergrund – Objekte im Vorder- und Hintergrund können stören. Kontrolliere, ob etwas vor dem Motiv des Bildes wichtige Elemente verdeckt. Auch soll nichts im Hintergrund die Komposition verderben, zum Beispiel eine Straßenlampe, die über dem Kopf einer abgebildeten Person „steht“.
- Allgemeine Qualität – nominierte Bilder sollten von hoher technischer Qualität sein.
- Digitale Manipulationen betrügen nicht in jedem Fall den Betrachter. Digitale Nachbearbeitungen, um Fehler von Fotografien zu korrigieren, sind allgemein akzeptiert, vorausgesetzt, sie sind begrenzt und gut gemacht, ohne dabei betrügen zu wollen. Akzeptiert werden normalerweise Beschneiden, perspektivische Korrekturen, Schärfen und Verwischen sowie Farb- und Belichtungskorrekturen. Umfangreichere Korrekturen wie das Entfernen von störenden Hintergrundobjekten sollten in der Bildbeschreibung mit Hilfe der Vorlage {{Retouched picture}} klar beschrieben werden. Nicht oder falsch beschriebenen Manipulationen, die dazu führen, dass das Hauptmotiv falsch dargestellt wird, sind unter keinen Umständen akzeptabel.
- Wert – unser Hauptziel ist das Hervorheben der wertvollsten Bilder von allen anderen. Bilder sollten irgendwie etwas Besonderes sein. Darum sei dir bewusst, dass:
- nahezu jeder Sonnenuntergang ästhetisch ansprechend ist und die meisten keinen wesentlichen Unterschied aufweisen zu anderen,
- Nachtaufnahmen hübsch sind, aber dass man normalerweise mit Aufnahmen bei Tag mehr Details zeigen kann,
- schön nicht immer wertvoll bedeuten muss.
Auf der fachlichen Seite gibt es die Belichtung, die Komposition, die Bewegungskontrolle und die Fokustiefe zu beachten.
- Belichtung bezieht sich auf die Verschluss-Blende-Kombination, die ein Bild mit einer Tonkurve wiedergibt. Idealerweise bildet diese Tonkurve in akzeptabler Genauigkeit Schatten- und Spitzlichtbereiche im Bild ab. Dies nennt man „Belichtungsspielraum“. Bilder können im niedrigen Teil der Tonkurve (unterer Bereich), im mittleren (mittlerer Bereich) oder hohen Teil (oberer Bereich) liegen. Digitale Kameras (oder Bilder) haben einen engeren Belichtungsspielraum als Fotofilme. Fehlende Genauigkeit im Schattenbereich ist nicht unbedingt ein Nachteil. Tatsächlich kann dies ein gewünschter Effekt sein. Eingebrannte Spitzenlichter sind dagegen ein störendes Element.
- Komposition bezieht sich auf die Anordnung der Elemente im Bild selbst. Die „Drittel-Regel“ ist ein guter Grundsatz für die Komposition und ein Erbe der Gemäldemalerei. Die Idee ist, das Bild mit jeweils zwei horizontalen und zwei vertikalen Linien zu teilen. Dadurch wird das Bild in horizontale und vertikale Drittel geteilt. Das Motiv im Zentrum des Bildes zu platzieren, ist oft weniger interessant, als es auf einem der vier Schnittpunkte der horizontalen und vertikalen Schnittlinien zu platzieren. Der Horizont sollte eigentlich niemals in der Mitte des Bildes liegen, wo er das Bild in zwei Hälften „teilt“. Die obere oder untere horizontale Linie ist oft eine gute Wahl. Der Hauptgedanke ist, den Raum zu nutzen, um ein dynamisches Bild zu schaffen.
- Bewegungskontrolle bezieht sich auf die Weise, wie die Bewegung im Bild abgebildet wird. Die Bewegung kann stillstehend oder verschwommen sein. Weder das eine noch das andere ist besser; es kommt auf den Zweck der Aufnahme an. Bewegung ist relativ innerhalb der Objekte des Bildes. Zum Beispiel vermittelt uns das Fotografieren eines relativ zum Hintergrund stillstehenden Rennwagens kein Gefühl für das Tempo oder die Bewegung. Also zwingt uns die Fototechnik, das Motiv stillstehend vor verschwommenem Hintergrund abzubilden, wodurch ein Gefühl für die Bewegung entsteht. Dies nennt man „Schwenken“. Andererseits kann eine Aufnahme eines im Vergleich zur Umgebung stillstehenden Basketballspielers während eines hohen Sprunges das „Unnatürliche“ der Natur dieser Pose sichtbar machen.
- Fokustiefe (DOF – Depth Of Field) bezieht sich auf den Fokusbereich vor und hinter dem Hauptmotiv. Die Fokustiefe wird abhängig von den spezifischen Erfordernissen jedes Bildes gewählt. Große oder kleine Fokustiefe kann auf die eine oder andere Weise die Qualität der Aufnahme vergrößern oder schmälern. Geringe Fokustiefe kann die Aufmerksamkeit auf das Hauptmotiv des Bildes lenken, das Hauptmotiv erscheint dadurch von seiner Umgebung gelöst. Hohe Fokustiefe bringt Abstände zwischen Motiven zur Geltung. Objektive mit kurzer Brennweite (Weitwinkel) ergeben eine hohe Fokustiefe, umgekehrt haben Objektive mit langer Brennweite (Teleobjektive) eine flache Fokustiefe. Kleine Blendenöffnungen bringen große Fokustiefe, und umgekehrt große Blendenöffnungen bringen flache Fokustiefen.
Bei den grafischen Elementen gibt es Form, Volumen, Farbe, Struktur, Perspektive, Balance, Proportion, usw.
- Form bezieht sich auf den Umriss des Hauptmotivs.
- Volumen bezieht sich die dreidimensionale Qualität des Motivs. Diese wird durch Seitenlicht herausgebildet. Im Gegenteil zum allgemeinen Glauben ist Frontbeleuchtung nicht die beste Wahl. Frontbeleuchtung lässt das Motiv abflachen. Das beste Tageslicht hat man am frühen Morgen oder nachmittags.
- Farbe ist wichtig. Übersättigte Farben sind nicht gut.
- Struktur bezieht sich auf die Oberflächenqualität des Motivs. Diese wird durch Seitenbeleuchtung verbessert.
- Perspektive bezieht sich auf den „Grad“ zusammen mit Linien, die in einen Fluchtpunkt innerhalb oder außerhalb des Bildes enden.
- Balance bezieht sich auf die Anordnung der Motive innerhalb des Bildes, die entweder das scheinbar gleiche Gewicht haben oder schwerer auf einer Seite erscheinen.
- Proportion bezieht sich auf die Größenunterschiede der Objekte im Bild. Normalerweise tendieren wir dazu, kleine Gegenstände klein im Vergleich zu anderen darzustellen. Eine gute Methode kann aber sein, kleine Objekte groß im Gegensatz zu wirklichen Größenverhältnissen abzubilden. Zum Beispiel: Eine kleine Blume überwiegt gegenüber einem großen Berg. Dies nennt man Maßstabsinversion.
- Nicht alle Elemente müssen berücksichtigt werden. Einige Fotografien können anhand individueller Eigenschaften beurteilt werden. Für ein Bild kann die Farbe oder die Struktur wichtig sein, oder Farbe und Strukur, usw.
- Symbolische Aussage oder Relevanz…. Der Meinungskrieg kann hier beginnen…. Ein schlechtes Bild von einem sehr schwierigen Motiv ist ein besseres Bild als ein gutes Bild von einem gewöhnlichen Motiv. Ein gutes Bild von einem schwierigen Motiv ist ein außergewöhnliches Foto.
- Bilder können kulturell beeinflusst sein durch den Fotografen und/oder den Betrachter. Die Bedeutung des Bildes sollte vor dem kulturellen Hintergrund des Bildes beurteilt werden, nicht durch den kulturellen Hintergrund des Betrachters. Ein Bild „spricht“ zu Menschen und hat die Möglichkeit, Emotionen auszulösen, wie zum Beispiel Zärtlichkeit, Zorn, Ablehnung, Heiterkeit, Traurigkeit usw. Gute Fotografen sind nicht darauf beschränkt, gefällige Emotionen zu provozieren.
Um die Chancen für einen Erfolg deiner Nominierung zu erhöhen, lies vor der Nominierung alle Leitsätze.

Richtlinien für Exzellenz-Kandidaten
[edit]Allgemeine Regeln
[edit]- Nach dem Ende des Abstimmungs-Zeitraumes wird das Ergebnis am Tag 10 nach der Nominierung festgestellt (im Zeitplan weiter unten gezeigt). Also dauert der Abstimmungs-Zeitraum 9 Tage, plus die Stunden bis zum Ende von Tag 9. Stimmen, die an Tag 10 oder danach abgeben wurden, werden nicht gezählt.
- Nominierungen von anonymen Mitwirkenden sind erwünscht.
- Mitwirken bei Diskussionen von anonymen Mitwirkenden sind erwünscht.
- Nur Nutzer mit einem commons-account, der mindestens 10 Tage alt ist und 50 Beiträge hat, können wählen. Ausnahme: Die eigene Nominierung kann gewählt werden, unabhängig von Alter und Beiträge.
- Die Nominierung zählt nicht als Stimme. Unterstützung muss explizit angegeben werden.
- Nominierungen können vom Einsteller jederzeit zurückgezogen werden. Dies geschieht einfach durch das Schreiben von „I withdraw my nomination“ (eng. Ich ziehe meine Nominierung zurück)
oder durch Hinzufügen von{{withdraw}} ~~~~. - Denke daran, das Ziel von Wikimedia Commons ist es, einen zentralen Speicher für freie Bilder, genutzt von allen Wikimedia-Projekten, bereitzustellen, einschließlich für mögliche zukünftige Projekte. Dies ist nicht einfach ein Speicher für Wikipedia-Bilder, deshalb sollten hier die Bilder nicht danach beurteilt werden, ob sie zu diesem Projekt passen.
- Bilder können vorzeitig am Tag 5 (fünfter Tag nach der Nominierung) von der Abstimmungsliste genommen werden („Regel des 5. Tages“):
- Wenn sie keine Unterstützung erhalten, die Einsteller nicht mitgezählt.
- Wenn sie 10 oder mehr Pro und kein Kontra erhalten haben.
- Bilder, welche durch die Vorlage {{FPX}} markiert wurden, können 48 Stunden, nachdem die Vorlage gesetzt wurde, von der Liste entfernt werden, vorausgesetzt, das Bild hat außer von den Einstellern keine positiven Stimmen (Unterstützung) erhalten.
- Bilder, welche durch die Vorlage {{FPD}} (FP denied) markiert wurden, können 48 Stunden, nachdem die Vorlage gesetzt wurde, von der Liste entfernt werden.
- Es dürfen von einem Benutzer maximal 2 Nominierungen gleichzeitig platziert werden.
Regeln zur Wahl und Abwahl
[edit]Ein Kandidat wird in die Galerie der exzellenten Bilder aufgenommen, wenn folgende Bedingungen erfüllt sind:
- Passende Lizenz (selbstverständlich)
- Mindestens 7 positive Stimmen (Pro-Stimmen)
- Das Verhältnis von unterstützenden zu ablehnenden Stimmen ist mindestens 2/1 (eine Zwei-Drittel-Mehrheit)
- Zwei verschiedene Versionen desselben Bildes können nicht beide exzellent werden, sondern nur das mit der höheren Zahl an Stimmen.
Die Abwahl-Regeln sind dieselben wie zur Wahl der exzellenten Bilder bei gleichbleibenden Abstimmungs-Zeitraum. Die Regel des 5. Tages gilt für Abwahlkandidaten, die keine Stimme für die Aberkennung des Exzellenz-Status' bis zum Tag 5 erhalten haben, außer die des Antragstellers.
Ein erfahrener Nutzer kann die Anfrage beenden. Wie man eine Anfrage beendet, siehe unter Commons:Kandidaten für exzellente Bilder/Was tun, wenn der Abstimmungszeitraum zu Ende ist.
Vor allem sei freundlich
[edit]Bitte bedenke, dass das Bild, das du beurteilst, das wohlüberlegte Werk von jemandem ist. Vermeide Phrasen wie „it looks terrible“ (eng. sieht schrecklich aus) oder „I hate it“ (eng. Ich hasse es). Wenn du dagegen Stellung nehmen musst, tu dies bitte mit Rücksichtnahme. Bedenke außerdem, dass deine Englischkenntnisse nicht die gleichen sein müssen wie die eines anderen. Wähle deine Worte sorgfältig.
Viel Spaß beim Bewerten …, und denke daran: Alle Regeln können gebrochen werden.

Oppose --Superbass (talk) 21:51, 2 June 2026 (UTC) Technically quite good, though the mountain peak on the middle-left is slightly out of focus. Somehow perspective and composition lack depth and a point of reference for scale; in this context, the panoramic format may not be the best choice, as it emphasizes the two-dimensionality of the image. As a result, the photo unfortunately appears flat and frontal, and less striking than the subject deserves.

Support Ocean-related photos are my Achilles’ heel. I spent time looking at this image, searching for some detail in the sky, in the water, or somewhere else that would make it special, but I couldn’t find one. Instead, I see a centered photo that feels monotonous from top to bottom. That said, the shadow makes me question how good this photo really is—not because of what it shows, but because of what it doesn’t show. It is an abstract photo that invites the imagination; I can almost see a lighthouse and a psychiatric hospital in it. --Wilfredor (talk) 02:34, 2 June 2026 (UTC)

Support oppose - vertical light must be vertical, needs perspective correction— Rhododendrites talk | 19:57, 1 June 2026 (UTC)- Rhododendrites and others: Before this gets bogged down in a discussion about perspective correction, let me clarify this. The beams were not coming "straight down" when this photo was taken, they emanated from a point a little above the photo (you can extrapolate the rays). This was the most crazy aurora I've ever witnessed, with some features that don't occur during normal auroras. Like I stated on the file page, it was like standing under a dome of light, with rays coming from a center above me. That's why I could get photos like this where you can clearly see the point of origin of the aurora rays. We don't usually get that at my latitude. The normal thing is that it's centered above the north pole and the we get the aurora formation commonly called "the doughnut", a round "blob" circling the North Pole, and we see drapes.
- But this night was different. When the front of the aurora passed over Russia, at least two vortexes were separated from the main doughnut. These resulted in smaller "domes" that stayed stable while they passed over Europe, but dissipated once the reached the Atlantic. You can see these vortexes in the satellite image from NASA. In that image, they are roughly over Saratov and Salavat in southern Russia. One of these vortexes passed over Lysekil where I was, and another one passed over Poland and Germany, giving both a very nice view of this aurora. Another crazy effect of these vortexes, was that when I aimed the camera to the north, where the aurora usually is, there was very little activity there. I even took som reference photos as proof: 1, 2; while facing south, the sky was literally on fire. It was a crazy night! --Cart (talk) 22:05, 1 June 2026 (UTC)

Support - Some minor OOF foliage in the lower left corner, but very excusable given what the image is. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 16:53, 29 May 2026 (UTC)
Oppose A shame about the out of focus area in the bottom left corner, and in general I miss an outstanding composition. I often find this with ultra-wide panoramas - that they miss a clear composition and are instead just a wide frame showing a lot of...stuff. The picture is also clearly downsized, which was normal in 2007 when Diliff uploaded this because internet connections were not as fast then as they are now, but 2000px vertical resolution is a little low. Finally, I think the light is quite flat. There are lots of interesting details as usual for Diliff photos but not FP to me. Cmao20 (talk) 18:12, 29 May 2026 (UTC)

Support — Chris Woodrich (talk) 16:50, 29 May 2026 (UTC)
Comment I agree that the church is beautiful and photographed well, but this picture taken by the same photographer on the same day looks more representative. In my opinion, a simpler composition with no disturbing elements, such as the people near the right edge and the large tree obscuring the western side of the church, is more compelling. At the end of the day, both pictures may be featurable. I just wanted to point out to another picture of the same subject. --Kiril Simeonovski (talk) 22:55, 29 May 2026 (UTC)
- I think both have their advantages but this one is the clearer FP to me. The other one doesn't show as many interesting features of the church, such as the dramatic western facade, and makes the whole building appear somewhat short and squat, whereas the picture I nominated has the church elevated at the top of the steps and lit with warmer light, which makes it look much more inspiring. I won't offer an alternative as I am not convinced the other is an FP but others are of course welcome to nominate it if they disagree with my appraisal. Cmao20 (talk) 01:29, 30 May 2026 (UTC)

Support IMO opposing this for the perspective distortion is somewhat close-minded, sorry to say. Not every picture needs to be perspective-corrected to death. This picture instead chooses to highlight the perspective distortion as a feature to illustrate the imposing scale of the building, which is an entirely valid approach. Cmao20 (talk) 12:23, 27 May 2026 (UTC)
- Thank you for your assessment, Cmao20, but I think the motivation for the vote is not based on the picture itselft. I just realised that when I went through all current FP candidates yesterday morning I opposed the 2 noms of Olfa Yakoubi because none of them convinced me in terms of level of detail. The first edit he/she did afterwards was coming here to oppose this candidate (and second oppose in his FP record, what are the odds?). Definitely unfair but nothing unusual.

- I’m really disappointed and honestly hurt by your comment, Diego. Reading that my vote could be interpreted as revenge or retaliation was painful for me, because that is not how I participate in FP discussions at all.
- I can’t imagine that you would think my oppose is related to the fact that you opposed some pictures I nominated — especially since this not even mine photo. I always try to give my opinion based on the image itself and according to my understanding of FP criteria, even when my opinion may differ from others.
- I still don’t like the composition of this photo. In my opinion, the framing is not ideal, the foreground elements are distracting, and the brightness and distortion affect the overall visual balance. That is why I opposed it, and I still stand by my opinion sincerely and in good faith.
- What hurt me the most is the implication that my opinion was dishonest or motivated by personal feelings. I respect your work and your contributions a lot. In fact, I have supported some of your photos before, and there are also photos of yours that I personally don’t like but chose not to oppose because I respect different artistic views and standards.
- By the way, we already met before — I don’t know if you remember — and I genuinely appreciate your photography overall. That is also why this statement was painful for me to read. Even when we disagree on a nomination, I believe we should assume good faith and respect each other’s opinions.
- And honestly, after reading your comment, I no longer feel comfortable voting on your photos in the future if my opinions are going to be interpreted this way instead of being seen as sincere photographic criticism.
- For this specific picture, I simply do not think it reaches FP level, and my vote was made honestly, sincerely, and without any personal intention. Olfa Yakoubi -ألفة يعقوبي (talk) 17:46, 27 May 2026 (UTC)
- I think that what Diego commented is not what he meant, remember that his level of English is not very good and he could use very direct or incorrect words, there is also the cultural difference. Wilfredor (talk) 19:38, 27 May 2026 (UTC)
- Please Wilfredor, don't talk for me about what I meant or not. I don't think either, that you are the most appropiate person to judge my level of English. I meant what I wrote, because although I don't know Olfa Yokoubi, I've often seen this behavior very often in the almost last 20 years. That's why I wonder about the odds that the first edit after my 2 opposes is right away a decline here. Olfa, you will have to recognize that if my opposes didn't play a role in your oppose it looks at least suspicious. Still I'm happy to read that you confirm otherwise.

- Your English is absolutely fine, Poco. Best to leave this whole nonsensical discussion. Cmao20 (talk) 13:28, 28 May 2026 (UTC)
- You're right, Poco poco; it wasn't my place to interpret what you meant or judge your English. I'm sorry, it was a mistake on my part. I'll leave Wilfredor (talk) 14:45, 28 May 2026 (UTC)
- I agree, Cmao20, let's move on Poco a poco (talk) 20:09, 28 May 2026 (UTC)
- Thank you for your assessment, Cmao20, but I think the motivation for the vote is not based on the picture itselft. I just realised that when I went through all current FP candidates yesterday morning I opposed the 2 noms of Olfa Yakoubi because none of them convinced me in terms of level of detail. The first edit he/she did afterwards was coming here to oppose this candidate (and second oppose in his FP record, what are the odds?). Definitely unfair but nothing unusual. Poco a poco (talk) 14:40, 27 May 2026 (UTC)
Support The way the chairs are cut off at the bottom is a bit annoying; I would have cut it at the level of the stairs, but that's more of a personal decision than a technically valid one. The chandelier also obstructs the view of the dome, but I understand it's a necessary sacrifice since it's not something that can be removed. Thank you for this nomination. I have a similar one from another church, and I had my doubts about whether this type of composition would be accepted, but I agree that not all wide-angle distortion needs to be corrected, especially if the result would create a completely disproportionate image. --Wilfredor (talk) 14:17, 27 May 2026 (UTC)

Weak oppose per Olfa, great quality and the wide angle doesn't bother me much but the image does have distracting elements (chairs and chandelier) and I'm unconvinced by the crop. --UnpetitproleX (Talk) 19:41, 31 May 2026 (UTC)

Comment IMHO
Overexposed and lack of DoF and focus --Wilfredor (talk) 11:15, 27 May 2026 (UTC)
- Thanks for the feedback.
- Really overexposed? I don't think so.
- The depth of field is shallow, admittedly, but I think it's fine.
- Thanks Skander zarrad (talk) 21:22, 28 May 2026 (UTC)
- I like the picture and it’s not strongly overexposed to the point of burning out the photo, but some areas could have more texture if they were slightly less bright. There’s a fine line between what is acceptable and what isn’t, so take this more as my personal opinion than as an absolute truth. In short, don’t take it too seriously.

Support No point punishing this picture because worse FPs exist of the same species Cmao20 (talk) 13:23, 28 May 2026 (UTC)
Support per Cmao20. “Best of Commons” does not mean “the best photos of each subject” – for that we have got VI –, it means “the best images on Commons”. If we have 10 great and wonderful photos of species A and only 1 mediocre photo of species B, we can feature all 10 great photos of species A, if they are really great and are sufficiently different (showing different aspects/perspectives/poses/subspecies/… of species A), but must not feature the mediocre photo of species B; the latter should become a VI for species B, of course. – Aristeas (talk) 10:14, 29 May 2026 (UTC)

Oppose Not very sharp compared to the standard for this type of bird photography in FPC, image heavily cropped or downsized compared to the size that the sensor delivers. --Wilfredor (talk) 14:10, 27 May 2026 (UTC)
Support Looks fine to me, and yes of course it is cropped, most wildlife photographs are...Cmao20 (talk) 13:20, 28 May 2026 (UTC)
Support The orange of the breast contrasts very pleasingly with the green background LetmeEditit (talk) 16:29, 28 May 2026 (UTC)
Support Excellent composition and colour contrast. Feather details appear a bit soft, but I guess we are spoiled a bit by the heavy AI sharpening many wildlife photographs use today and Tisha just did not apply such strong sharpening. So in the end the photo is possibly not softer, just less processed than other candidates. – Aristeas (talk) 19:59, 28 May 2026 (UTC)
