Formalien edit
Nominierung edit
Leitsätze für die Nominierung edit
Bitte lies alle Leitsätze (Englisch) 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.

Abwahlkandidaten der exzellenten Bilder aufstellen edit
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),
- Deine Begründung für die Nominierung und dein Benutzername.
Danach musst du einen Link zu der erstellten Seite oben auf der Seite mit der Liste der Abwahlkandidaten manuell einfügen.
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.

OpposeThe blurry pair of grasses on the right-hand side ruins everything, as it stands right in front of the fresh buffalo skull. Wolverine XI 11:05, 21 April 2024 (UTC)- Thank you for your review. If I understand that it would have been preferable to not have that grass blade, I think that the fact that it's a single grass blade in front of the skull, on the extremity of the lower jaw, and that it can be seen through while still having great detail, makes this negligeable in my opinion.

- Thank you for your review. I understand what you mean but I felt that the skull being a bit in the shadows while the grass around it is colorful and sunny with green, yellow and orange is a good symbolic of death and the life that continues to thrive around it (and of it for the insects) and that this picture is a good depiction of the circle of life.

- Abstain as author. San Marino has three towers each with a feather on top. The second tower, called Cesta, stands on the highest point of Mount Titano. The fifteenth-century tower is pentagonal in shape. The rooms of the guardhouse and the castellan are currently occupied (since 1956) by the Museum of Ancient Weapons of San Marino. The Montale tower is the smallest of the three towers, it was a watchtower built in the 14th century at a strategically defensive position.

I had been waiting for the eclipse for several days, continuously checking the time. With 20 minutes to go before the eclipse started, I saw people gathering to watch it from my building; some even lacked proper protection. From my vantage point, I spotted a space near these people that was large enough for my tripod. I had a special graduated filter for the eclipse, but when I tried to fit it on my camera, it didn't fit, so I had to use tape to secure the filter to the lens. I used a 100-400mm Z nikon lens with a 2X extender, effectively giving me 800mm on a full-frame format, which made the setup extremely heavy. Despite the limited time, I grabbed my camera and went down to set up on a small mound. The wind was ridiculously strong, so I opted to place metal stakes in each tripod leg to keep it from flying away and added a counterweight to the center to minimize vibration, recalling that Quebec City is often windy due to its proximity to the Saint Lawrence River. After setting up the camera and tripod, I had to keep adjusting it directly towards the sun to account for the movements of the Earth, the Moon, and the Sun. I couldn’t just leave the camera pointed and shoot; I had to periodically recenter the Moon and the Sun in my shots. The photos were taken with a manual setting to minimize exposure during the partial eclipse, capturing significant phases at regular intervals. Later, I developed the images in Lightroom, applying only lens correction and chromatic aberration adjustments, which I didn't really notice. Finally, I merged the images into a single composition using Photoshop. Wilfredor (talk) 12:39, 21 April 2024 (UTC)

- Support Lovely work. Wolverine XI 11:12, 21 April 2024 (UTC)
- Comment Interesting but I have some questions here. Are the shots in the upper row really independent from the lower row? because I wouldn't expect the same sun stains top left and bottom right. The alignment is not good either, the distance between the frames looks arbitrary, the distance e.g. between the fourth and fifht (top row) is bigger than the others (same between second and third in the lower row). It would have also been great to capture the whole process, Poco a poco (talk) 14:50, 21 April 2024 (UTC)
- Poco is right. There is something fishy going on here. If you reduce the intensity (only!) of the image, it looks to me like the top row is the same as the bottom row, only reversed. I opened this in Photoshop and just toggled the levels (ctrl+L) to darker. How is this Wilfredor? 'Pinging' previous voters about this, Yann, ★, The Cosmonaut, Radomianin, SHB2000, Aristeas, Wolverine XI. In this version I have toggled the levels (ctrl+L) to an extreme. In that version there are some very small differences between the two rows; perhaps only half of the eclipse was actually photographed and that series used for both rows. Downloading and checking a photo at higher/lower/extreme 'levels' is always a good way to see what might have been done with it. --Cart (talk) 18:07, 21 April 2024 (UTC)

Alt version edit
- Info In this version, I have implemented Poco a poco's suggestion to maintain an identical space between each lunar phase, and I have also removed the bottom row that could create a mistaken perception that these are subsequent phases, when in reality it is a reflection of the top row to maintain symmetry. As previously mentioned, "only half of the eclipse was actually photographed"; indeed, there was no total eclipse in this city, and I decided not to continue photographing the subsequent phases for fear of damaging the camera sensor. --Wilfredor (talk) 19:48, 21 April 2024 (UTC)
- Aw, come on! Why did you mirror the sequence in the first place if you weren't trying to make it appear as if you had photographed the whole eclipse? Nothing about this or fear for a damaged sensor was mentioned before I called this image out. How many times are you going to pull these photoshop tricks on us and then try to back-track with scant explanations and whatever. You need to do some serious thinking about how you make and present photos on this forum.
- I know from what you wrote on your previous nom, that you are in a really bad place in life right now, but you still need to go by the same rules and critique as everyone else here if you participate. --Cart (talk) 20:14, 21 April 2024 (UTC)
- I believed that the Earth would continue moving in its usual direction, and my actions were guided by that assumption, not by any malintent. As soon as I recognized the potential for misunderstanding (Poco a poco comment), I promptly clarified that the images might be perceived as representing different phases. I initially didn't address this because the similarities seemed so self-evident to me—both images feature identical shapes and solar spots, mirroring each other perfectly. Even the thumbnails, without being opened to full size, clearly show these inversions. I had assumed these parallels would be apparent for everybody. I've noticed that the more I try to explain, the more complicated situations seem to become, which often leads me to prefer silence. Moving forward, I will make an effort to articulate even those details I consider self-evident, though I can't promise to always do so.

- Perhaps you should try to get some professional help during this trying time for you. Even though your friends are here on FPC to support you, non of us can give you adequate advice that anyone who is going through bad times needs. I also notice that this is your third active nomination, and it should have been {{FPD}}-ed. I'm not going to add to your troubles by using that template, but please think about if you can handle critique here for now. Please take care of yourself and do not put yourself in situations that might be stressful for you. Best, --Cart (talk) 11:18, 22 April 2024 (UTC)

As soon as I recognized the potential for misunderstanding (Poco a poco comment), I promptly clarified that the images might be perceived as representing different phases.

- @Riad Salih I have tried for a while but you have probably already found the best possible solution. At the bottom the mosaic margins at the left and right continue downwards. This makes the bottom crop look somewhat arbirary – that’s unavoidable as one must cut the image somewhere.

OpposeI'm sorry to oppose another gorilla FPC. But this shot cannot compare, in my opinion, to shots like this.The over-exposed areas are the main problem. Charlesjsharp (talk) 09:31, 16 April 2024 (UTC)- Thank you for your review. I just uploaded a new file with highlights edited. In my opinion, this image is more interesting than the one you linked because : 1) the sun is illuminating the mountain gorilla eyes, showing all the beauty of their color in the sun; 2) The eyes of the mountain gorilla image you linked have barely no details distinguishable; 3) I've seen almost no other image on the internet showing how the mountain gorilla eyes are when illuminated by direct sun light.

- Gorilla eyes and more gorilla eyes Charlesjsharp (talk) 15:28, 16 April 2024 (UTC)
- None of your linked gorillas are illuminated by sunlight. Both of your linked gorillas are looking on the far left or far right. First link only show eyes and not the face. Giles Laurent (talk) 15:52, 16 April 2024 (UTC)
- Comment FPC is a wonderful place where you can learn so much. Ordinary mortals (like yours truly) would be scrupulous about always citing examples of other photographers in such matters, but certainly not their own insignificant works, to avoid any impression of vanity. But great men are free from such false considerations, and I can only admire Charles’ generosity in liberally presenting us with outstanding examples of his own artistry in his gracious comments. We can all learn a lot from these grandiose gestures. – Aristeas (talk) 08:57, 17 April 2024 (UTC)
- I bow before a great man and ordinary mortal. Although I always thought great men wouldn't need to use sarcasm. FPC is a competition and I'm sorry if the existing FPs I referenced are my own. On another current FP nomination I reference a better image that is not my own. You have also possibly not noticed that when I opposed this nomination it was horribly overexposed; there was also a distracting twig. I am now neutral about it.

- Please let's maintain the respect and dignity in our comments, set aside sarcasm and ego, and keep the peace in this place. I find it disrespectful what some are doing to Charles. In your obsessive search for photographic prestige, you're trying to discredit him by continuously insulting him. However, beneath it all lies a hidden admiration, a concealed love for Charles, an envy of his photographic ability that you will likely never match. Wilfredor (talk) 12:14, 20 April 2024 (UTC)

- I bow before a great man and ordinary mortal. Although I always thought great men wouldn't need to use sarcasm. FPC is a competition and I'm sorry if the existing FPs I referenced are my own. On another current FP nomination I reference a better image that is not my own. You have also possibly not noticed that when I opposed this nomination it was horribly overexposed; there was also a distracting twig. I am now neutral about it. Charlesjsharp (talk) 15:00, 17 April 2024 (UTC)
- Comment FPC is a wonderful place where you can learn so much. Ordinary mortals (like yours truly) would be scrupulous about always citing examples of other photographers in such matters, but certainly not their own insignificant works, to avoid any impression of vanity. But great men are free from such false considerations, and I can only admire Charles’ generosity in liberally presenting us with outstanding examples of his own artistry in his gracious comments. We can all learn a lot from these grandiose gestures. – Aristeas (talk) 08:57, 17 April 2024 (UTC)
- None of your linked gorillas are illuminated by sunlight. Both of your linked gorillas are looking on the far left or far right. First link only show eyes and not the face. Giles Laurent (talk) 15:52, 16 April 2024 (UTC)
- Gorilla eyes and more gorilla eyes Charlesjsharp (talk) 15:28, 16 April 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you for your review. I just uploaded a new file with highlights edited. In my opinion, this image is more interesting than the one you linked because : 1) the sun is illuminating the mountain gorilla eyes, showing all the beauty of their color in the sun; 2) The eyes of the mountain gorilla image you linked have barely no details distinguishable; 3) I've seen almost no other image on the internet showing how the mountain gorilla eyes are when illuminated by direct sun light.

- Support the light makes this a good portrait. I'd recommend cloning out that little twig in the top-right, though -- it's bright enough to be distracting. — Rhododendrites talk | 20:18, 16 April 2024 (UTC)

- Oppose Per Charlesjsharp, The image is a pretty good portrait but the reflection in the completely white eyes and the overexposure is not an interesting light, it is a light that suppresses the details, in my humble opinion --Wilfredor (talk) 02:23, 20 April 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you for your review. I am not sure you are viewing the latest version of the image (sometimes if you open the image at full size, and later the image is updated and that you open it again after the update, you won't see the new latest version because the old one keeps in the cache of your browser). If you open the image at full size and press cmd+R on Mac or Ctrl+F5 on windows you can force your browser to update the cached version. Could you please try that? Because an updated version was uploaded a few days ago and the highlights were recovered. According to lightroom there is no overexposure area. The fact that there is a small white circle in the eye is completely normal as it is the reflection of the sun. This is completely unavoidable for any eye photographed in the sun. Giles Laurent (talk) 10:31, 20 April 2024 (UTC)
- Yes, I saw after updating the cache, I think the contract is very strong. Thank you for taking this comment constructively. The photo is still wonderful and apparently it will be highlighted, this was just my humble opinion Wilfredor (talk) 12:15, 20 April 2024 (UTC)
