Springe zu den aktuellen Kandidaten

Dies sind die Kandidaten für die exzellenten Bilder. Beachte, dass es sich hierbei nicht um das Bild des Tages handelt.

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.

Mit der Zeit ändern sich die Standards für die Exzellenten Bilder. Es kann entschieden werden, dass Bilder, die vorher „gut genug“ für die Exzellenten waren, es nicht mehr sind. Dies ist zum Aufstellen eines Bildes, welches deiner Meinung nach es nicht mehr verdient, exzellent zu sein. Dazu wähle mit

• {{Keep}}  Keep (das Bild verdient es immer noch, als exzellent zu gelten) oder mit
• {{Delist}}  Delist (das Bild verdient es nicht mehr, als exzellent zu gelten).

Wenn du denkst, dass ein Bild nicht mehr den Exzellenz-Kriterien entspricht, kannst du es für die Abwahl nominieren, indem du den Bildnamen in dieses Textfeld (einschließlich des Zusatzes Image:) hinter den bereits stehenden Text im Feld kopierst:

In der eben erstellten neuen Seite für die Nomination des Abwahlkandidaten solltest du einfügen:

• Informationen über den Ursprung des Bildes (Ersteller, Uploader),
• Einen Link zur originalen Exzellenz-Kandidatur-Seite (es erscheint unter „Links“ auf der Beschreibungsseite),

   oder durch Hinzufügen von {{withdraw}} ~~~~.
7. 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.
8. Bilder können vorzeitig am Tag 5 (fünfter Tag nach der Nominierung) von der Abstimmungsliste genommen werden („Regel des 5. Tages“):
   1. Wenn sie keine Unterstützung erhalten, die Einsteller nicht mitgezählt.
   2. Wenn sie 10 oder mehr Pro und kein Kontra erhalten haben.
9. 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.
10. Bilder, welche durch die Vorlage {{FPD}} (FP denied) markiert wurden, können 48 Stunden, nachdem die Vorlage gesetzt wurde, von der Liste entfernt werden.
11. Es dürfen von einem Benutzer maximal 2 Nominierungen gleichzeitig platziert werden.

Ein Kandidat wird in die Galerie der exzellenten Bilder aufgenommen, wenn folgende Bedingungen erfüllt sind:

1. Passende Lizenz (selbstverständlich)
2. Mindestens 7 positive Stimmen (Pro-Stimmen)
3. Das Verhältnis von unterstützenden zu ablehnenden Stimmen ist mindestens 2/1 (eine Zwei-Drittel-Mehrheit)
4. 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.

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.

  I understand, Cmao20. It indeed is quite noisy, but we do have this FP which is similarly noisy. I can see the noise being a reason to oppose, but for me the numerous village, town, and city lights peeking through winter fog of the densely populated Indo-Gangetic plain, interrupted by the thinly populated Himalayas, Hindu Kush and Tibetan Plateau in the north and Thar desert in the bottom left corner, and the continuity of the landscape make it quite beautiful.

  I don't know what exactly you expect. "Freezing" the champagne splashes with a very short exposure time would ruin the emotionality of the photo just as much as focusing on the person behind it. The motion blur of the champagne splashes is what makes the photo in my opinion. Stepro (talk) 21:39, 10 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Of course I don't want you to freeze them with a short exposure time. That would ruin the photo. I just mean that the image is not sharp. There is no fine detail, either on the droplets or on the man in the background. It's like everything is out of focus. Cmao20 (talk) 00:38, 11 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

•  Oppose Sorry, but I'm with Cmao20 on this. It's great that the champagne splash is not "frozen" that brings life to the photo, but I'd like the guy to be sharper, like you managed to do in this photo. I'd choose that photo over this. Apart from that, the file name is not describing what's in the photo. We are always telling new users to follow the Commons naming policy, we "oldies" should do that too. --Cart (talk) 00:02, 11 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• When I look at the vast quality difference between the picture you link (which is excellent and I'd vote for as FP (Edit: amusingly it appears I opposed this picture in 2019. I've changed my mind, it should have become FP)) and this one, I almost wonder if Stepro even uploaded the right file here. This picture is poor quality and looks almost upsampled. Cmao20 (talk) 00:40, 11 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  I have at least nominated the photo that I intended to nominate. ;-) For me personally, it's one of my photos from last year that conveys real emotion. Of course, I could also nominate other super-sharp photos, but they wouldn't have that wow effect that was at least once demanded here. (On the grounds that FP is not QI.) The other photo mentioned is less emotional for me, that's how different perspectives can be. In my opinion, the big difference in terms of sharpness is not that it is present there and missing here, but that in the other photo the people are not standing behind the champagne shower and are therefore naturally in focus. In this picture, the focus is clearly on the champagne splashes, but they have a motion blur. As the name suggests - a blur. One that I wanted. Stepro (talk) 00:56, 11 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

•  Support - Finally. There was something about this photo that bugged me, but I couldn't figure out what. But since it's an aerial photo, you can turn it whichever way you want and I started fiddling with it. I find it more pleasing if it's turned 90 deg counter clock, so that the stream is along the right side of the image. That way the tractor tracks don't curve upwards in that "Inception way" (it gives me vertigo!). But since that is up to the individual viewer, I guess it doesn't matter. ;-) --Cart (talk) 22:03, 9 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  I was thinking something similar. Its a very cool optical illusion. It looks like the dark green grass in the foreground is flat and then the cut grass curves upwards like a wall. --Needsmoreritalin (talk) 22:23, 9 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

•  Oppose I don't understand what kind of set this one is. The closest is probably #4 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). I'd accept a set of 2: in flight + swimming or a set of 2: adult and juvenile, but this fulfil no valid set IMHO Poco a poco (talk) 17:18, 9 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  Poco a poco, we have been bending the rather short-sighted and rigid rules of sets before. I have no problem with allowing this. And technically speaking, Needsmoreritalin only has this nom of three photos up and running, so given your definition of sets, he could withdraw this and nominate the drake adult and juvenile as one set, and then nominate the hen in a normal separate nom (or any other combination that would fit the set criteria you outline more perfectly). The three photos are great, so I think the outcome would be the same as if we allow this nomination to proceed. To placiate you, perhaps Needsmoreritalin could refrain from making another nomination until this one is over? It's easier to keep this one running instead of going through all that bureaucratic rigmarole. In another current set nomination, Adam is admitting to finding more images for his "complete set of illustrations" saying there might be need for a second set, and no one is getting upset about that. --Cart (talk) 18:04, 9 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  I will not nominate any additional images for Featured Picture consideration until this set is approved or rejected. This was the first time I submitted a set and I appreciate your feedback. Thanks Cart for the support and the suggestion!

  I submitted this as a set because the drake Red-breasted Merganser is very unique in its appearance, the hen and immature Red-Breasted Mergansers look the same. However, when the juvenile male gets a little older it starts wearing eyeliner. There are no Featured Pictures of any species in the genus, Mergus. I thought submitting the three "types" of Mergus Serrator would be a good start.

  This is only my rationale, and you must support or oppose based on your own standards. I respect and accept your decision. Needsmoreritalin (talk) 22:21, 9 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  Sets are always tricky since they rely so much on interpreting the rules, and if one photo isn't good the whole thing falls. I've made a couple of sets early on here at FPC, but I have since given up on them, and I prefer to make noms one at a time just to keep things simple. Slow and steady wins in the long run. --Cart (talk) 22:28, 9 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

•  Support Very good photos. Regarding the set question, I just think of this one as “Mergansers family”: mother, father, child ;–). But if this argument is too lax and risqué (the two adults are probably not the parents of that juvenile, although I could not tell the difference ;–)), I second Cart’s pragmatic argumentation. – Aristeas (talk) 18:09, 9 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

•  Support Very nice view. And Mile, A.Savin does have a point. It would be great if you were just as good at documenting your photos as you are at creating them. People who are interested in your photos shouldn't need to play detectives to find out more about them. It's not enough to only have the location as coordinates, it should be written in the description and with categories. The more info there is on your photo, the more interesting it becomes for re-users, and the more it will be used. It's not bad to have many categories, just as long as they are on different category trees, just look at what's in the image and how you would describe it. It can be useful to remember the three: "What, Where, Who" when you add categories and descriptions. Here it would be: What - a field is being plowed, Where - in Zadobrova, Ljubljana, Slovenia, Who - a New Holland T6.165 tractor is doing it. All these should be represented in some way in the description and categories. I've added that for you on this (and your other nomination) so that we can get this moving, and not have you two growling at each other from your two trenches. --Cart (talk) 10:53, 8 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  The question was rather on the way how he's creating new categories... --A.Savin 19:36, 8 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  It might be easier if you explained that in complete sentences, instead of short threatening bursts. I know, it's tedious and Mile should know better, but so should a lot of long-time users here too, and still we keep needing to remind folks about the most basic things for nominations. It's boring, but it's all we got until some miracle happens and a new code for creating noms is written, that makes sure that all criteria listed at the FPC page are met. --Cart (talk) 21:08, 8 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  For example, "New Holland tractors in Slovenia" should be "Tractors in Slovenia" too. However PetarM is not interested in explanation, I think there are revenge votes from him and I don't have to expect fair treatment. --A.Savin 21:59, 8 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

For my part I often think of the mnemonic verse Quis, quid, ubi, quibus auxiliis, cur, quomodo, quando? – “Who, what, where, by what means, why, how, when?” – when selecting categories. This phrase (from Thomas Aquinas’s Summa Theologica, Iª IIae q. 7 a. 3) summarises the ancient rhetorical theory of peristáseis/circumstances; prospective orators were taught to settle these questions when preparing a court speech, and a simplified version, the Five Ws, is used in modern journalism. Of course normally we do not have categories for all of these 7 or 5 questions, but it does not hurt to check them. – Aristeas (talk) 14:45, 8 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
