These are the candidates for becoming quality images. This is not the same thing as featured pictures. If you want informal feedback on your photos, please ask at Commons:Photography critiques.

Purpose

[edit]

The purpose of quality images is to encourage the people that are the foundation of Commons, the individual users who provide the unique images that expand this collection. While featured pictures identifies the absolute best of all the images loaded into Commons, Quality images sets out to identify and encourage users’ efforts in providing quality images to Commons. Additionally, quality images should be a place to refer other users to when explaining methods for improving an image.

Guidelines

[edit]

All nominated images should be the work of Commons users.

For nominators

[edit]

Below are the general guidelines for Quality images; more detailed criteria are available at Image guidelines.

Image page requirements
[edit]
  1. Copyright status. Quality image candidates have to be uploaded to Commons under a suitable license. The full license requirements are at Commons:Copyright tags.
  2. Images should comply with all Commons policies and practices, including Commons:Photographs of identifiable people.
  3. Quality images shall have a meaningful file name, be properly categorized and have an accurate description on the file page in one or more languages. It is preferred, but not mandatory, to include an English description.
  4. No advertisements or signatures in image. Copyright and authorship information of quality images should be located on the image page and may be in the image metadata, but should not interfere with image contents.
Creator
[edit]
Proposed wording changes to specifically exclude AI generate media from being eligable for QI see discussion

Pictures must have been created by a Wikimedian in order to be eligible for QI status. This means that pictures from, for example, Flickr are ineligible unless the photographer is a Commons user. (Note that Featured Pictures do not have this requirement.) Photographical reproductions of two-dimensional works of art, made by Wikimedians, are eligible (and should be licensed PD-old according to the Commons guidelines). If an image is promoted despite not being the creation of a Wikimedian, the QI status should be removed as soon as the mistake is detected.

Technical requirements
[edit]

More detailed criteria are available at Commons:Image guidelines.

Resolution
[edit]

Bitmapped images (JPEG, PNG, GIF, TIFF) should normally have at least 2 megapixels; reviewers may demand more for subjects that can be photographed easily. This is because images on Commons may be printed, viewed on monitors with very high resolution, or used in future media. This rule excludes vector graphics (SVG) or computer-generated images that have been constructed with freely-licensed or open software programs as noted in the image's description.

Image quality
[edit]

Digital images can suffer various problems originating in image capture and processing, such as preventable noise, problems with JPEG compression, lack of information in shadow or highlight areas, or problems with capture of colors. All these issues should be handled correctly.

Composition and lighting
[edit]

The arrangement of the subject within the image should contribute to the image. Foreground and background objects should not be distracting. Lighting and focus also contribute to the overall result; the subject should be sharp, uncluttered, and well-exposed.

Value
[edit]

Our main goal is to encourage quality images being contributed to Wikicommons, valuable for Wikimedia and other projects.

How to nominate

[edit]

Simply add a line of this form at the top of Commons:Quality images candidates/candidate list Nominations section:

File:ImageNameHere.jpg|{{/Nomination|Very short description  --~~~~ |}}

The description shouldn't be more than a few words, and please leave a blank line between your new entry and any existing entries.

If you are nominating an image by another Wikimedian, include their username in the description as below:

File:ImageNameHere.jpg|{{/Nomination|Very short description (by [[User:USERNAME|USERNAME]]) --~~~~ |}}

Note: there is a Gadget, QInominator, which makes nominations quicker. It adds a small "Nominate this image for QI" link at the top of every file page. Clicking the link adds the image to a list of potential candidates. When this list is completed, edit Commons:Quality images candidates/candidate list. At the top of the edit window a green bar will be displayed. Clicking the bar inserts all potential candidates into the edit window.

Number of nominations

[edit]

No more than five images per day can be added by a single nominator.

Note: If possible, for every picture you nominate, please review at least one of the other candidates.

Evaluating images

[edit]
Any registered user whose accounts have at least 10 days and 50 edits, other than the author and the nominator, can review a nomination. For an easier evaluation you can activate the gadget QICvote

When evaluating images the reviewer should consider the same guidelines as the nominator.

How to review

[edit]

How to update the status

Carefully review the image. Open it in full resolution, and check if the quality criteria are met.

  • If you decide to promote the nomination, change the relevant line from
File:ImageNameHere.jpg|{{/Nomination|Very short description --~~~~ | }}

to

File:ImageNameHere.jpg|{{/Promotion|Very short description --Nominators signature |Why you liked it. --~~~~}}

In other words, change the template from /Nomination to /Promotion and add your signature, possibly with some short comment.

  • If you decide to decline the nomination, change the relevant line from
File:ImageNameHere.jpg|{{/Nomination|Very short description --~~~~ | }}

to

File:ImageNameHere.jpg|{{/Decline|Very short description --Nominators signature |Why you didn't like it. --~~~~}}

In other words, change the template from /Nomination to /Decline and add your signature, possibly with a statement of the criteria under which the image failed (you can use titles of section from the guidelines). If there are many problems, please note only 2 or 3 of the most severe, or add multiple problems. When declining a nomination please do explain the reasons on the nominator’s talk page – as a rule, be nice and encouraging! In the message you should give a more detailed explanation of your decision.

Note: Please evaluate the oldest images first.

Good voting practices

[edit]
  1. Do not have an image moved to consensual review ("Discuss") unless someone else added a vote with which you disagree.
  2. If you think the image meets QI criteria, use "Promotion" right away.
  3. If you think the image does not meet QI criteria and the issues cannot be solved, use "Decline" right away.
  4. If instead you believe that the issues can be solved, leave a comment without changing the status (keep it as Nomination).
  5. Do not add new votes under already promoted or declined images if you agree with the decision. The bot checks the date of the last comment, so this only delays the result.
  6. If a comment raises an unresolved issue, promoting is generally considered impolite. Only promote if the issue is clearly minor, fixed, or incorrect - and say so briefly. If you’re not sure, add a comment (don't change status). Change to "Discuss" only once conflicting votes appear.

Grace period and promotion

[edit]

If there are no objections within a period of 2 days (exactly 48 hours) from the first review, the image becomes promoted or fails according to the review it received. If you have objection, just change its status to Discuss and it will be moved to the Consensual review section.

How to execute decision

[edit]

QICbot automatically handles this 2 days after a decision has been made, and promoted images are cached in Commons:Quality Images/Recently promoted awaiting categorization before their automatic insertion in to appropriate Quality images pages.

If you believe that you have identified an exceptional image that is worthy of Featured picture status then consider also nominating the image at Commons:Featured picture candidates.

Manual instructions (open only in cases of emergency)

If promoted,

  1. Add the image to appropriate group or groups of Quality images page. The image also needs to be added to the associated sub pages, only 3–4 of the newest images should be displayed on the main page.
  2. Add {{QualityImage}} template to the bottom of image description page.
  3. Move the line with the image nomination and review to Commons:Quality images candidates/Archives November 2025.
  4. Add the template {{File:imagename.jpg}} to the user’s talk page.

If declined,

  1. move the line with the image nomination and review to Commons:Quality images candidates/Archives November 2025.
  • Images awaiting review show the nomination outlined in blue.
  • Images the reviewer has accepted show the nomination outlined in green
  • Images the reviewer has rejected show the nomination outlined in red

Unassessed images (nomination outlined in blue)

[edit]

Nominated images which have not generated assessments either to promote nor to decline, or a consensus (equal opposition as support in consensual review) after 8 days on this page should be removed from this page without promotion, archived in Commons:Quality images candidates/Archives November 14 2025 and Category:Unassessed QI candidates added to the image.

Consensual review process

[edit]

Consensual review is a catch all place used in the case the procedure described above is insufficient and needs discussion for more opinions to emerge.

How to ask for consensual review

[edit]

To ask for consensual review, just change the /Promotion, /Decline to /Discuss and add your comments immediately following the review. An automatic bot will move it to the consensual review section within one day.

Please only send things to consensual review that have been reviewed as promoted/declined. If, as a reviewer, you cannot make a decision, add your comments but leave the candidate on this page.

Nominations

[edit]

Due to the Mediawiki parser code ~~~~ signatures will only work on this page if you have JavaScript enabled. If you do not have JavaScript enabled please manually sign with:

--[[User:yourname|yourname]] 11:57, 14 November 2025 (UTC)
  • Please open a new date section if you are nominating an image after 0:00 o'clock (UTC)
  • Please insert a blank line between your new entry and any existing entries
  • Please help in reviewing "old" nominations here below first; many are still unassessed
  • If you see terms with which you are unfamiliar, please see explanations at Photography terms

If you are not ready to Promote or Decline an image, you may leave a Comment instead.

If someone else has already promoted or declined an image and you disagree, you may cast an opposite voice or use Discuss — this will move the image to the Community Review section.

If you agree with a previous decision, there is no need to cast the same vote again, as doing so only delays the final closure of the nomination.

Please nominate no more than 5 images per day and try to review on average as many images as you nominate (check here to see how you are doing).

Consensual review

[edit]

Rules

These rules are in accordance with the procedures normally followed in this section. If you don’t agree with them please feel free to propose changes.

  • To ask for consensual review, just change the /Promotion, /Decline to /Discuss and add your comments immediately following the review. An automatic bot will move it to the consensual review section within one day. Alternatively move the image line from the main queue to Consensual Review/Images and follow the instructions in the edit window.
  • You can move an image here if you contest the decision of the reviewer or have doubts about its eligibility (in which case an 'oppose' is assumed). In any case, please explain your reasons. Our QICBot will move it for you. When the bot moves it, you might have to revisit the nomination and expand your review into the Consensual Review format and add "votes".
  • The decision is taken by majority of opinions, including the one of the first reviewer and excluding the nominator's. After a minimum period of 48 hours since the last entry, the decision will be registered at the end of the text using the template {{QICresult}} and then executed, according to the Guidelines.
Using {{support}} or {{oppose}} will make it easier to count your vote.
Votes by anonymous contributors aren't counted
  • In case of draw, or if no additional opinions are given other than the first reviewer's, the nomination can be closed as inconclusive after 8 days, counted from its entry.
  • Turn any existing comments into bullet points—add  Oppose and  Support if necessary.
  • Add a comment explaining why you've moved the image here - be careful to stay inside the braces.
  • Preview and save with a sensible edit summary like "+Image:Example.jpg".

  • Discussion
  •  Support Good quality. --Rjcastillo 02:29, 12 November 2025 (UTC)
  •  Oppose Flower is blury. --Heylenny 04:24, 14 November 2025 (UTC)
  • The hoverfly is the subject, why should the flower need to be fully in focus? I chose an aperture that combines a fully focused subject with a smooth in-focus to out-of-focus transition, and a nice bokeh --Julesvernex2 08:50, 14 November 2025 (UTC)
  •  Support I would have cropped in a little further. But that's a matter of taste. I think the main object (the hoverfly) is very well captured and in focus. Additionally the image tones are very nicely balanced. --

  • I don't see any dust spots here. Please make a note. --Екатерина Борисова 01:06, 12 November 2025 (UTC)
  • Found one dust spot and there's a horizontal structure in the sky. It's not moiré IMO, but it looks like a canvas --Syntaxys 06:24, 12 November 2025 (UTC)
  • The stain is visible without zooming in on the image. It is almost on top of the tower on the right, slightly to the left of it. Even if you fix the stain, the horizontal structure visible in the sky prevents me from promoting it. Is it a photo of a poster or another photo? I won't oppose it because I don't understand what's going on.--Lmbuga 15:08, 12 November 2025 (UTC)
  • Yes, I see now these issues, thank you. I can remove dust spots (hope the author won't mind), but I can do nothing with these textures. So i will withdraw this nomination soon after our conversation is finished. But I assure you that this is a real photo taken IRL, I know it for sure. --Екатерина Борисова 04:16, 13 November 2025 (UTC)
  •  Oppose I'm going to bend the rules. I don't think I should give my opinion because I don't have enough knowledge, but I believe that others with more knowledge could help. I am against sending the photo to CR. --Lmbuga 15:11, 13 November 2025 (UTC)
  •  Comment My vote may change if what other users say convinces me. I can remove the spot myself. Such a small change does not scare me.--Lmbuga 15:21, 13 November 2025 (UTC)

  •  Oppose For the reasons stated above --Lmbuga 19:46, 12 November 2025 (UTC)
  • Well, yes it's tight. But I also know that this is somehow kind of a convention within planespotting filling the frame a bit tighter. I think the overall quality here speaks for QI even with the tighter framing. So am very interested in more opinions. --Augustgeyler 15:56, 13 November 2025 (UTC)
  • @Augustgeyler: I am also very interested because what is said may be decisive in my future opinions. Do not think that I am sure I am right. If these photos are promoted, I will never oppose others for this reason, although I will not promote them either because I do not like them. As I don't like most photos of cars, but there is more space. --Lmbuga 21:32, 13 November 2025 (UTC)
  • I need to learn. Like everyone else.--Lmbuga 21:46, 13 November 2025 (UTC)
  • Sorry--Lmbuga 21:53, 13 November 2025 (UTC)
  • OK, but we need you to make decisions based on experience or confidence. If I am unsure about my vote I would not vote (or if that happens in CR – vote with {{n}} ). But I would especially suggest not challenging someone else's vote like you did here. --Augustgeyler 21:57, 13 November 2025 (UTC)
You ignore me. I'm not a child, treat me as an equal. Any other questions will be answered on my discussion page; this is not the place for them. I don't think you'll be welcome there.--Lmbuga 22:08, 13 November 2025 (UTC)
  • @Augustgeyler : You know very well that if he did not vote "decline", the photo would be promoted too quickly and the nomination would not have had more opinions... But in my opinion, I don't know ! I am  Neutral. --Sebring12Hrs 23:40, 13 November 2025 (UTC)
  • I am sorry. I did not want to upset you. Of course you have to be equally treated like everybody else here. I told you how I would vote in unsure cases. What I just wanted to point out is my suggestion not to vote against nominations, promoted by other reviewers while being unsure. --Augustgeyler 22:16, 13 November 2025 (UTC)
  • The criteria at QIC have changed. They are not the same as they were fifteen years ago. Fifteen years ago, those photos of aeroplanes would have been rejected. I just need to know what the criteria are now. I have my own criteria: they are not QI.--Lmbuga 22:54, 13 November 2025 (UTC)
But I am able to adapt to the collective criteria.--Lmbuga 23:12, 13 November 2025 (UTC)
  •  Comment I did a search for QI images of Boeing 737 and pretty quickly found many QI images with tight cropping. Here's 4 of them: here, here, here, and here. All of these within last 15 months. So what's the standard we should be using to judge 'too tight crop'? --E bailey 01:55, 14 November 2025 (UTC)

  •  Oppose This image shows a modern information board containing maps, text, and photos. Such boards usually constitute copyrighted graphic works (layout, cartography, and photographs) and therefore are not freely licensable under Commons rules. In Germany, the freedom of panorama does not apply to such informational panels, as they are not considered artistic works permanently located in public space. While the technical quality is fine, the subject itself is not eligible for free publication on Wikimedia Commons and therefore can not be QI.. --Augustgeyler 18:07, 12 November 2025 (UTC)
     Comment This is interesting. I can find hardly anything about freedom of panorama (or lack thereof) for information boards in Germany on the web, except for a vivid discussion on https://www.outdoorseiten.net/vb5/forum/outdooraktivit%C3%A4ten/outdoor-basiswissen/orientierung-navigation-geocaching/88704-wiedergabe-von-infotafeln, which shows IMO that at least the admins of that site share your concerns and that they deleted this kind of photos. If your opinion is correct, then a huge number of the files in subcategories of Category:Information boards in Germany by state (including the candidate image) should be deleted from Commons. Is there any court decision, legal guideline or even something on Commons that supports your opinion? --Robert Flogaus-Faust 10:45, 13 November 2025 (UTC)
  • Thank you for the comment. I agree with you, this might be a bigger issue. My point is based mainly on Commons’ own copyright policy rather than on national case law. According to Commons:Licensing and Commons:Copyright rules by subject matter, information panels that combine maps, text, photographs and designed layout are usually considered copyrighted works and therefore not acceptable on Commons unless clearly in the public domain or under a free licence. The German Version about signs (Commons:Copyright rules by subject matter/de#Anzeigetafeln_und_Schilder) is not that clear, but I read that freedom of panorama does not apply to this kind of signs, only 2D-artwork would be part of FoP. – „Als Faustregel gilt, dass detaillierte Informations- und Aufklärungsschilder […] fast immer urheberrechtlich geschützt sind und Fotos davon normalerweise nicht akzeptiert werden können. Hinweistafeln können grafische Abbildungen oder erweiterte Textinhalte oder beides enthalten und das Urheberrecht besteht wahrscheinlich in beiden Fällen. Hauptausnahme: wenn ein Schild (z. B. ein Wegweiser) keine signifikanten grafischen Elemente enthält […]. 2D-Kunstwerke sind in den meisten Panoramafreieits-Ländern in der Panoramafreiheits-Ausnahme enthalten, aber nicht in: […] OK Text ist enthalten in der Panoramafreiheits-Ausnahme von […] Deutschland […].“ / translated: “As a rule of thumb, detailed information and explanatory boards […] are almost always protected by copyright, and photos of them usually cannot be accepted. Information boards may contain graphic illustrations or extended text content or both, and copyright is likely to exist in both cases. Main exception: if a sign (e.g. a wayfinding sign) contains no significant graphic elements […]. 2D artworks are included in the freedom-of-panorama exception in most freedom-of-panorama countries, but not in: […]. / OK: text is included in the freedom-of-panorama exception of […] Germany […].”– How do you read this? --Augustgeyler 12:26, 13 November 2025 (UTC)
  • O.k., thanks for these rules. You are right. So this might be a rather big copyvio issue. --Robert Flogaus-Faust 14:16, 13 November 2025 (UTC)
  • The rules posted by Augustgeyler link to Freedom_of_panorama#Summary_table, and that table says that Germany allows Buildings, 3D artwork, 2D artwork, and text (everything but interiors). IMO an information board is a combination of 2D artwork and text, and it is a permanent installation. The statement that 'pictures of information panels can usually not be accepted' is - even in the German translation - not specific to Germany. I'm not a legal expert, but I do not see a clear violation of either German law or Commons' policy on these pictures of information boards as long as they are located on public ground in Germany. --Plozessor 15:24, 13 November 2025 (UTC)
  •  Question Is such a sign considered as 2D artwork? --Augustgeyler 15:33, 13 November 2025 (UTC)
  • IMO the images and the maps are 2D artwork, the text is text, and the sign is a combination of 2D artwork and text. Of course that could again be considered a 2D artwork as a whole. In any case, the FoP definition is part of the copyright law and mentions "works". IMO - if the sign is a "work" per copyright law, it is covered by FoP. If it would not be a "work" per copyright law, copyright would not apply at all. I don't see how some works would be protected by copyright, but only "artworks" (not all "works") would be covered by FoP. It is a "work", it is permanently installed on public ground, it is visible from public ground, and the picture was taken from public ground from the perspective of a pedestrian. --Plozessor 17:11, 13 November 2025 (UTC)
  • "Zulässig ist, Werke, die sich bleibend an öffentlichen Wegen, Straßen oder Plätzen befinden, mit Mitteln der Malerei oder Graphik, durch Lichtbild oder durch Film zu vervielfältigen, zu verbreiten und öffentlich wiederzugeben.

In the case of buildings, these rights extend only to the exterior view.” It doesn't say anything that it would not cover all works, or that the work must not be the main subject, or that it's only allowed if the work is a minor part. On the contrary, it says that I am allowed to reproduce, distribute and publicly display the "work" that is permanently installed on public ground. --Plozessor 17:15, 13 November 2025 (UTC)

To get a straight perspective from this subject the camera would have to be higher, or it could be done by using a wide angle in portrait orientation, placing the subject at the top to reduce the cameras upwards tilt.

  • (Robert, expanding here on my response to another nomination where you expressed a similar opinion) I think there are two ways of taking a good shot of a flower: a) have everything in focus (good for documenting, often comes at the expense of lack of perceived depth); or b) focusing on a specific part of the flower (less informative, but the transition from in-focus to out-of-focus lends a sense of depth to the image - "3D pop", some call it). This image falls in the latter category: I experimented with the aperture (eventually landing on f6 equiv.) to get the stamen (is that the right name?) in focus and the petals blending into a nice smooth background. --Julesvernex2 09:07, 12 November 2025 (UTC)
  • Thanks for the explanations. I understand your intention, but a composition with such a small part of the photo in focus still does not work for me. Let's just wait for more opinions. --Robert Flogaus-Faust 14:33, 12 November 2025 (UTC)
  •  Neutral I understand the points that have been raised. In this case, I find it difficult to make a clear judgement. There is a valid reason to focus the depth of field on this small detail — the stamen is an essential part of the flower. However, against that speaks the fact that this is a wide overall view of the blossom, meaning that the out-of-focus area is quite large. Concentrating on such a small detail would work better if the framing were tighter. --Augustgeyler 14:41, 12 November 2025 (UTC)

What I meant to point out is that some texture details seem to have been lost during processing.

  •  Comment The author has addressed the issue of converging verticals through a very strong correction. However, the original was taken from an extremely low angle, so the adjustment had to be drastic to make the verticals appear straight. In my view, this intervention went too far: it resulted in visibly altered proportions, and the windows now have a different aspect ratio. In addition, the file size increased from 3 MB to 10 MB solely due to rendering. Therefore, such an image should either: a) clearly retain its converging lines as an intentional perspective, or b) be taken from a higher position or with a wider lens and less tilt, or c) if neither is possible, unfortunately cannot be considered QI. --August (talk) 09:03, 12 November 2025 (UTC)

  •  Comment The author has addressed the issue of converging verticals through a very strong correction. However, the original was taken from an extremely low angle, so the adjustment had to be drastic to make the verticals appear straight. In my view, this intervention went too far: it resulted in visibly altered proportions, and the windows now have a different aspect ratio. In addition, the file size increased from 3 MB to 10 MB solely due to rendering. --Augustgeyler 09:04, 12 November 2025 (UTC)
  •  Comment The increasing of the file size is not so revelant to me. And I don't see the difference with the previous aspect ratio, or it is very little. --Sebring12Hrs 17:32, 12 November 2025 (UTC)
  • The perspective of the window frames and the lintels above clearly indicates a strongly upward-looking viewpoint, while the artificially applied perspective correction gives the impression of a frontal shot. --Augustgeyler 17:35, 12 November 2025 (UTC)

  •  Support Since the subject of the nomination is the minaret rather than its background, it seems sufficient to me that the focus is on the structure itself. The minaret is well captured. It would certainly be nice to see a bit more detail in the distance, but that becomes a matter of style and personal preference. --Augustgeyler 10:03, 14 November 2025 (UTC)

  • Discussion
  •  Oppose Nice, but too shallow DoF, only one flower in focus without leaves. --Gower 17:22, 7 November 2025 (UTC)
  •  Comment Indeed: as the title indicates, the subject is a single flower (in-focus, prominently placed, well lit), the rest of the frame is there for context. More depth-of-field would make the flower stand out less and harshen the bokeh --Julesvernex2 18:47, 7 November 2025 (UTC)
  •  Support I think that it may be a creative intent of the author to focus only one flower. Good image. Юрий Д.К. 18:45, 9 November 2025 (UTC)
  •  Support Per Юрий Д.К.--Lmbuga 15:45, 10 November 2025 (UTC)

  • I'm afraid I don't understand this argument: as long as there's a clear intent behind using a shallow depth-of-field, one shouldn't impose hard limits to the proportion of the image that is in focus. Sometimes everything needs to be in focus (I often use focus stacking to achieve this), sometimes it doesn't --Julesvernex2 11:48, 11 November 2025 (UTC)

  •  Comment I have a feeling that the photo was somehow turned, because bushes even on a slope can't grow at that angle, it's completely unnatural. Therefore, the impression of the picture is very strange. -- Екатерина Борисова 03:35, 9 November 2025 (UTC)
    • @Екатерина Борисова: Hi. I am surprised a bit that "because bushes even on a slope can't grow at that angle, it's completely unnatural". [Here] is approx. point where the photo has been taken. Юрий Д.К. 09:51, 9 November 2025 (UTC)
      • I'm far more surprised by this panorama :) Looks like a kind of topiary art. But in your other shot made from this point of view the bushes grow straight. I'm not opposing your image, I just don't understand. -- Екатерина Борисова 03:56, 10 November 2025 (UTC)

[edit]

  • Nomination Street vendor, Via Cesario Console, Naples, Italy (by Julesvernex2) --Sebring12Hrs 18:23, 5 November 2025 (UTC)
  • Discussion
  •  Oppose Photo is not bad, but I am not convinced. Most of the vendor's goods are covered + lot of vehicles in the background give for me feeling of overload and disharmony, sorry. --Gower 19:08, 6 November 2025 (UTC)
  •  Info I think that's a great critique. For me though, it's precisely that overload and disharmony that draws me to this picture (it's a personal favourite), as it immediately puts me back in Naples. I also like how the wide angle exaggerates the size of the woman and the bench, making them stand out against the background. Moving to CR in hopes of hearing more more opinions --Julesvernex2 20:02, 6 November 2025 (UTC)
  •  Weak support To me using 19 mm lens for a portrait is not a good idea, especially for so close distance, but, yes, it created some artistic impression form the photo in whole. It is a portrait, the subject is sharp and level of detail is high, so, technically it is good for QI. --LexKurochkin 08:06, 7 November 2025 (UTC)
  •  Support I don't see the problem. Good quality--Lmbuga 16:03, 10 November 2025 (UTC)
  •  Weak oppose The bench is captured nicely. But as the title tells the intention to show the vendor I think the composition is not able to do so. --Augustgeyler 16:15, 10 November 2025 (UTC)
@Augustgeyler: Just out of curiosity, and because I can't think of another title: What title would you think is appropriate?, well, there might be a solution. Perhaps "Street vendor stretching out on a bench because she is tired"? Would it be sufficient for the text to appear in the description and not in the title? --Lmbuga 15:16, 12 November 2025 (UTC)
  • I think that might work. --Augustgeyler 16:27, 12 November 2025 (UTC)
