• Great image but why the large variation in sharpness, especially the right side? I am curious, was it shot from a tower or airborne? Bammesk (talk) 00:21, 12 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Bammesk- Thanks. The main focal point was the center of the Field of Mars and f8 might not have been quite enough for the far surrounding areas. I was trying to balance shutter speed (1/400 IMO is very slow for aerial shooting) and potential grain. This was a difficult one to crop. I didn't want to cut off the large square building on the far right along with the base of the bridge (for aesthetics). By the same token, keeping the Church of the Spilled Blood (top center) seemed like a good idea. This was shot from a helicopter, restricted to flying over the river only, at a minimum altitude (in the city) of roughly 500 meters. It was intermittently overcast with some turbulence.--Godot13 (talk) 00:55, 12 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    • My browser display didn't do it justice at full size, looked at it again in my photo software and the sharpness looks Ok. I love the composition, the EV and everything else. Support. Bammesk (talk) 01:15, 12 September 2016 (UTC) (I just saw it was a zoom lens)[reply]

I did a little selective sharpening on the right side (with the unsharp mask tool in GIMP) and it was an improvement, just saying. Bammesk (talk) 03:36, 12 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Support - Though I agree, F11 would have been better. ISO 400 on my 60D is still perfectly acceptable (not sure about 5DS), and the 5DS you were using would give you lots of wiggle room resolution-wise if you needed to use an even higher ISO. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 00:44, 13 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Priscilla Horton, later Mrs. German ReedVoting period ends on 23 Sep 2016 at 04:17:39 (UTC)

Reason

Notable for several reasons: a highly accomplished Shakespearian actress in her youth, and a theatrical innovator with her husband later on who both encouraged the creation of and premièred rôles in several important early operas by important writers and composers of 19th century Britain; for example,

W.S. Gilbert's first big hit outside of pantomimes, Ages Ago had her in it and was at her and her husband's theatre; other major writers and composers for them included F. C. Burnand, and Arthur Sullivan (though she didn't act in Cox and Box as it has no female roles) Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 04:30, 13 September 2016 (UTC)[reply

The Pinafore Picture Book (redux)Voting period ends on 23 Sep 2016 at 14:31:33 (UTC)

Reason

A fine image from a notable artist from one of Gilbert's last works. Previous nomination was a couple vtes short, with the only objection being to, um... cropping blank paper, with no captions or other marks. Which seems a weird objection. While we don't have an article on the book at present, the book is discussed in both articles as a notable adaptation.

James Russell LowellVoting period ends on 23 Sep 2016 at 17:01:26 (UTC)

Reason

A very nice, detailed picture of him. Photos seem to either date from much later, or appear to have had major editing done so that they're equivalent to drawings - I'm not at all convinced that https://www.loc.gov/item/brh2003003291/PP/ , for example, is a genuine photograph in the facial region. It gives the impression of a painting. This image is important enough to be used as the basis for a stamp later, File:JamesRussellLowell-1940.jpg (it's a mirror image, but otherwise obviously based on this).
By the way, if you haven't noticed, I've been clearing out all my half-done stuff this month, so forgive me if I get through a fair amount of stuff; I have a lot of things I've put a lot of work into, but never went through the last bit of effort to finish.

• Support – good EV. Sidenote: The photo shows her at work but I wouldn't call this an action shot. This is a set and posed shot. In 1919 nothing was left to chance, intentionally. A blurry subject and/or a moving subject is not synonymous with action shot, IMO. Bammesk (talk) 02:48, 14 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • The drawers at the bottom are straight; they seemed the most likely to be the correct ones to use. There's also a matter of balancing how much you'd need to crop out to make a rotation: Make the shelves completely vertical, and you're cropping a lot out. Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 18:13, 16 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
    • Making the shelf upright exactly vertical loses very little, and nothing of any consequence that I can see. To my eye, actually, the best result is achieved by making that upright fractionally off vertical, in the same direction as presently, but not so much. 109.146.248.31 (talk) 19:58, 16 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Attempts to edit out licence plates are inevitably distracting, and should only be used if necessary.

• Comment. I don't think the composition is brilliant ... I find the picture a little cramped at the left, and the whole reflection thing a little too much, but perhaps I am being too critical. 109.146.248.31 (talk) 17:29, 16 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment – I'm wondering why the reflection seems to take up more vertical space than the castle itself. Or is that an optical illusion?

Also, in the other two pix of the castle at the target article it appears to be built of gray stone, whereas this pic. shows a golden hue to the stone. Sca (talk) 21:18, 16 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Sca, I think the nom's caption addresses the lighting – golden sunset. Bammesk (talk) 15:32, 17 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Sca, I flipped the image and overlaid them and found the reflected castle to be a very close match for the real one. If you measure from the base of the pointy roofs down to the darker brick of the base, and then compare with the reflection they are much the same. Yes this image is shot during the Golden Hour, which changes the colours to a much warmer tone. Wrt the other comment about being cramped on the left, the scene has a large tree to the left of the castle, which becomes an "include it all or nothing" distracting element that then makes the castle much smaller in the frame. Beneath this tree is shadow, so that area of the scene isn't particularly photogenic (and the reflection, being darker, is just a big dark patch). To the right isn't a whole lot other than some canal boats which also distract the eye from the subject. I would have preferred a little more space either side, but including part of this huge tree or a bit of a canal boat just looked messy to me. -- Colin°^Talk 18:21, 17 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Reason

I'm not quite sure about my crop (those wanting to try their own hand can find the pre-crop restoration at [5] - I restored everything, including parts I was pretty sure I'd crop out.) but the image is highly encyclopædic, and minority women, particularly Native Americans, tend to be under-photographed relative to their importance. It's a very good photo of her at a key point in her political activities (just around the time of her meeting with President Calvin Cooleridge)

  • @Armbrust: Is that the best one? I always saw that as more for people whose EV was primarily in their clothing, so I'm a little hesitant to put someone who's notable in her own right in there. Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 15:32, 1 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
