A stone statue of an angel above the entrance gate of St. Demetrius Church's yard in the village of Ilovica
  •  Support Nice, and I prefer the colour version because of the delicate shades. One may call this little figurine kitsch, but that does not change the photographer’s duties: if photographing kitsch, we need to make the kitsch shine, and this is what this photo does with much success.Aristeas (talk) 19:28, 28 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]

  •  Oppose Sorry but on reflection this just isn't FP to me. I find the lighting uninspiring and the subject very ordinary, in spite of good image quality. I would not have opposed if I had been the only person blocking a 5-day promotion, but now an alternative has been added, this nomination will run the full 9 days no matter what so I feel comfortable making my views known.

Famous political cartoon from the time of the French Revolution (circa 1789). It is a satirical representation of the division and extreme social inequality that existed under the Ancien Régime, structured into the so-called Three Estate

Château de Chantilly
  • I am not sure why you are commenting this kind of thing on nearly every recent nomination on this page. The picture is probably cropped but I don't see why that is an issue. The file size seems roughly normal for an image of this resolution when compared to other FPs in the category and I cannot see any compression artefacts. Cmao20 (talk) 15:38, 24 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]
    Thank you for your question. For FP, it's not enough for an image to simply look good; technical quality is also part of the evaluation. Cropping an image isn't necessarily a problem, but if a file has been compressed or significantly reduced in size, it's fair to ask if a better version exists. This helps encourage uploading images at the highest possible quality. Wilfredor (talk) 16:09, 24 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]
  • Relying so heavily on file size as a metric does not seem to be a good way of evaluating technical quality. I see no actual issues. Cmao20 (talk) 16:27, 24 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]
    I agree with you that visible quality is the most important thing, without a doubt. However, we judge phone images quite strictly for technical limitations such as noise, processing and compression. For consistency, I think it's also fair to ask technical questions about files from high-end cameras, especially when the uploaded image is well below the camera's native resolution. My question is simply if there is a better version. Wilfredor (talk) 16:45, 24 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support Thank you very much, Cmao20, for the nomination. The picture is 6000 pixels large, and not heavily compressed. Weight is 7,62 Mb. -- Basile Morin (talk) 16:14, 24 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]
    Thanks, Basile. Your values ​​are correct; the file is approximately 6000 pixels wide and 7.62 MB. My question arose from comparing it to the native resolution of the EOS R5: 6001 × 3840 represents approximately 51% (half) of the camera's total 45 MP resolution, which isn't necessarily a problem. I agree that the file size alone doesn't indicate harmful compression if no artifacts are visible. My only remaining question was whether a higher-resolution version exists. Wilfredor (talk) 16:26, 24 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]
8192 pixels => 6001 pixels is a decent crop, in my opinion. The current best Canon camera available on the market (EOS-1D X Mark III) has a maximum of 5472 pixels. The larger resolution of this one offers freedom to choose a convenient framing afterwards. Yes, I decided to focus the composition on the castle. -- Basile Morin (talk) 18:09, 24 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]
 Support Thank you Basile, after checking the numbers again, 7.62 MB for 23 MP can be consistent with a high-quality JPEG export so I withdraw the concern about heavy compression. My original question was based on calculs, but I see no clear evidence of harmful compression here Wilfredor (talk) 18:48, 24 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Engraving from the time of the French Revolution (specifically from the period of the National Constituent Assembly, around 1789) entitled "Allegory Dedicated to the Third Estate."
File:Allegorie dèdiè au tiers etat LCCN2004676887.tif this is the source file to do restoration, I downloaded it in the webpage given in the description of jpg file --Ezarateesteban 11:57, 26 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]
If that's your source, it confirms my suspicions. I'd like to know why the restored version is larger—not the overall image size, because it was cropped, but the designs within it. Wilfredor (talk) 12:45, 26 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]
