Welcome to the Photography critiques!
Would you like a second opinion before nominating a photograph of yours as a Quality Image, Valued Image or Featured Picture candidate, can't decide which of your images to enter into one of the Photo Challenges? Or do you have specific questions about how to improve your photography or just would like some general feedback?
This is the right page to gather other people's opinions!
If you want general suggestions to a good photo, you can ask here, and we already wrote guidelines.
If you don't get some terminology used here, don't be shy you can ask about it, or read
Please insert new entries at the bottom, and comment on oldest entries first.
To prevent archiving use {{subst:DNAU}}, because SpBot archives all sections after 90 days, unless archiving has been postponed or suppressed through the use of {{subst:DNAU}}. You can ask the bot to archive a section earlier by using {{Section resolved|1=~~~~}} – then it will be archived after 7 days.
My skiing photo
[edit]How do you like this photo? It's me in the photo. I took it back in 2020. I just uploaded it to use in the Wikipedia article about "Goggles" to show the reader what a person wearing ski goggles looks like.

- Looks good man. An accurate portrayal of googles. Tao.contracting.229 (talk) 05:17, 25 April 2024 (UTC)
- I'm not sure that this is a good illustration for the wiki article because the goggles are not a clear focus of the image. To focus more on the goggles, I would try to take it from closer up and have a less busy background. Buidhe (talk) 07:07, 26 April 2024 (UTC)
- I made a cropped version of this photo that focuses on the goggles! It's linked on the page for the original photo. Félix An (talk) 07:00, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
Statue of Liberty
[edit]
I've been scrolling through the Statue of Liberty exteriors, and I found this image. It is of high quality and resolution. It is one of the best Statue of Liberty images I could find. Would this be acceptable as a featured picture? Please let me know. WildMouse76 (talk) 22:17, 4 June 2024 (UTC)
- It's pretty well done but the Statue of Liberty has gotta be the most photographed statue in the world and I'm surprised there aren't some truly stunning ones on Commons. Given that the lighting seems rather plain, it might have an iffy chance at FP in my opinion. Also, the right side of the image is significantly more blurry than the left --- it seems the lens used might be damaged. dllu (talk) 01:38, 13 June 2024 (UTC)
- @Dllu Surely the quality of the statue itself and the pedestal make up for the blurry parts. Anyway, I tried to find the best front facing pictures, and these are what I found. Let me know what you think. WildMouse76 (talk) 01:48, 13 June 2024 (UTC)
Four flags at front of Sosnowiec Główny Train Station at night
[edit]
Is there anything that should be fixed or corrected on this photos? Is that enough quality to be quality image ? KrzysztofPoplawski (talk) 06:10, 12 June 2024 (UTC)
- To me, the picture seems a bit undecided about its subject: Is it the flags, the projection on the wall or even the starburst from the lantern? If its about the flags I would try a tighter crop. On the left cut off the wooden hut and the bank (maybe even the draining pipe). Additionally I would try to crop the image from the bottom right to get the flags off the center (rule of thirds). But as always it's a question of personal taste. --Zinnmann (talk) 07:53, 12 June 2024 (UTC)
- @Zinnmann Thanks for advices and opinion. KrzysztofPoplawski (talk) 17:35, 13 June 2024 (UTC)
Images of former building of the turbine and compressor station of Dietl's spinning mill 1912-1914
[edit]
The next image to judge. I wait for your opinions and sugestions for this photo. Is enough to be QI, VI, and FP? KrzysztofPoplawski (talk) 17:59, 13 June 2024 (UTC)
- Probably QI, but you'd need to fix the artifacts/weirdness to either side of the lamppost/wire where they vertically cross the sky. Not likely to pass FPC, though, for a few reasons:
- the cropped lamppost/wires crossing the top-middle are distracting. I'd have to see an uncropped version to see if it's an improvement or if they're just too prominent in the composition.
- The light is good for detail, but not good for the "wow factor" expected at FPC.
- Composition is a bit unbalanced. Works for an infobox picture on Wikipedia, but it's quite right-heavy and top-heavy, with an unclear reason for the left crop. The top crop is too tight for the amount of space you have at the bottom, and it could use more space to "breathe" at least on the right, and probably on the left.
- The subject just might not be a realistic subject for FPC, with the road in the foreground, wires/poles between the camera and the building, etc. For a building that doesn't have a very unique look to it, the photo itself has to be really spectacular. In other words, FPC would be a very high bar for anyone taking a photo of this subject. — Rhododendrites talk | 18:56, 13 June 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you for all this information. It helps me to understand better FPC. KrzysztofPoplawski (talk) 02:49, 17 June 2024 (UTC)
