• Comment Impressively huge panorama of an impresssive vista, extremely great detail for a vario lens (EF24-70mm) even at 1:1 screen pixel resolution, 38mm must be near the "sweet spot", albeit the far lower corners are a bit soft. At first view when maximised I thought I had found a stitching artefact two finger widths from the left edge at almost exactly half height: looks like a short distance of gravel roadway coming diagonally from behind the hilltop at front which abruptly ends in nowhere. Upon close scrutination I'm sure the road simply levels out and continues almost invisibly to the right to disappear behind the next hillside. So all's OK! I would vote for support, were I but entitled to do so. Alas, still 39 wikipedia edits to go. -- Franz van Duns (talk) 13:04, 2 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

There are relatively few fish FP compared to other categories because of the technical difficulty of obtaining good photographs. This photo shows a popular salt-water aquarium fish. It's sharp, encyclopedic, has accurate colors, and good resolution.

Reason

I believe this image meets the FP criteria: it is of high technical standard (its main subject is in focus and it is professionally composed); it is high resolution (the image is a 5,237 × 3,491 pixel JPG); it has a free license (image is a U.S. government work and is in the public domain); it is verifiable (the image was uploaded to a reliable website, it had embedded metadata, and the content illustrated in the image could be independently verified through third-party RS which are linked in archival format in the file page); it has a descriptive and informative file description; it avoids inappropriate manipulation (the only manipulation that occurred before uploading was white balancing and slight cropping to align the main subject to the center of the image); it has significant encyclopedic value (it is used in five articles and has the potential to be used in a multitude of others, such as sunburn).

Reason

A fine image, and Norway's feminist movements are underrepresented (Okay, they're getting better represented now, but that's because of me nominating more). The licensing may seem odd, but it's either correct, or the photo is PD (so, at the least, it's a valid photo to host) For those interested: The uploader licensed it CC; Norwegian law means you can yourself gain copyright by releasing a previously unreleased photo. It's either CC because of the uploader publishing it as CC (giving him/her rights over it) or PD because it was published at the time. The uploader has not responded to a clarification request.

• Comment – I agree with MER-C, good EV and article notes the domes, but harsh lighting, also right side can use a slight crop to balance the two sides. Bammesk (talk) 03:19, 19 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Support. I thought this image was fascinating enough to highlight on my personal social media. I don't mind the harsh lighting and slight asymmetry. —David Eppstein (talk) 16:45, 22 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• Support ALT – I boldly cropped the right side of photo which I believe yields a better composition as Bammesk said. It also removes the smaller of big shadows. Ping MER-C, Adam Cuerden, and David Eppstein. --- Coffeeandcrumbs 00:39, 25 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

• I'm not sure how much it'll do, given the grain size. I mean, I think its historic merit makes up for it, but, other than cropping out the edges, I don't see much use.

• Weak support. Decent although not excellent image quality and dubious composition, but I think the EV and interesting subject matter is enough to make up for that. —David Eppstein (talk) 07:04, 19 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

A very nice photograph of a major, major figure in Norwegian feminism and suffrage. I'm not the BIGGEST fan of 3/4 length, but I think it works here.

War Pigeon

Voting period is over. Please don't add any new votes. Voting period ends on 29 Sep 2019 at 06:56:14 (UTC)

Reason

Having realised I've fuully restored this twice, and that any remaining detail is very minor and very localised, I think I'm feeling happier about this. And it passed Commons FPC, so maybe I'm being too hard on myself.
