Springe zu den aktuellen Kandidaten

Dies sind die Kandidaten für die exzellenten Bilder. Beachte, dass es sich hierbei nicht um das Bild des Tages handelt.

Bitte lies alle Leitsätze 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.

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.

1. Nach dem Ende des Abstimmungs-Zeitraumes wird das Ergebnis am Tag 10 nach der Nominierung festgestellt (im Zeitplan weiter unten gezeigt).

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.

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.

•  Neutral The 'sleeping' is a clear FP for me, but in the 'awake' photo the middle bird didn't cooperate. I'll wait for some comments from other bird photographers, but perhaps you should break this up and do separate noms. The 'awake' photo is timestamped before the 'sleeping', so are they really waking up or were they falling asleep or simply preening. --Cart (talk) 09:56, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  No, they were indeed waking up, W.carter — or possibly startled. These two images are the final frames from a longer sequence, and I selected the ones with the highest overall quality for nomination, see: https://ibb.co/LdvKt78c

  As for the "awake" photo: you're right, the eye of the middle bird could be a bit sharper. Still, I think the contrast between the sleeping and the alert states is what gives the composition its unique appeal. I'm also curious to hear what other (bird) photographers think — perhaps a separate nomination would be worth considering. --Tuxyso (talk) 11:50, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

•  Oppose Sorry, but I don't think the image on the right is an FP, due to the slight motion blur on the middle bird. The left, on the other hand, is sharp and crisp.--Peulle (talk) 09:05, 5 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  W.carter, Thank you for your help. I did make a serious effort to find a suitable gallery, but unfortunately the page Commons:Featured pictures/Animals/Birds isn't working correctly — as you can see in this screenshot: https://ibb.co/rGvp6B9f. I also tried clicking on "Other Birds," but instead of reaching the correct section where "Other Birds" begin, I was redirected back to the top of gallary page and not the beginning of the stork's gallery as the preview image might suggest. Additionally, the page lacks a proper table of contents, so I have to guess the anchor links based on the section headings. That’s why I wasn’t able to add the gallery myself. I really appreciate your assistance! Tuxyso (talk) 11:35, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  The photos used for the galleries are selected from one of the orders/families or genus on that page. Having a stork as representative for 'Birds' in general does not mean that the photo goes directly to the stork section, any more than say the image of the Golden Gate bridge for 'Bridges' at Commons:Featured pictures/Places/Architecture/Castles and fortifications going specifically to 'San Fransisco'. When you are on the right bird page, you just go to the 'Table of contents' on the upper left and select the appropriate section. --Cart (talk) 11:53, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  I will remember for the next time, thanks! Tuxyso (talk) 12:01, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  Also the section headings are the anchors. When designing these pages, we can't rely on all users knowing about such sophisticated things as anchors. It needs to be as simple as just copying the section heading. Also, introducing {{Anchor}} in the galleries would confuse the FPCBot no end. It would place photos in the wrong section. Or we would have to do all the sorting and tasks done by the FPCBot by hand, and I don't think anyone here wants to go back to those dark days. Aristeas, with some help from me is just in the process of cleaning up the galleries and making the code for FPCBot better (see his talk page), so that there will be no more photos in wrong sections. --Cart (talk) 12:11, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  Thanks to Cart for the help. If I may add this: the little box for the table of contents (TOC) at the top of the gallery pages is empty (as shown in your screenshot) because after some changes to the default “skin” of Wiki pages in 2022 the TOC is displayed in bigger style at the left of every page now (the exact location and format depend on the “Appearance > Skin” settings in your preferences). If this big TOC is not visible, there is some confusion or conflict between the “skin” settings and the browser which you are using right now; this would be annoying, but AFAIK it would not be related to the gallery pages but would be a general technical problem. – Aristeas (talk) 15:07, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

•  Weak support for now. Looking at the reflection, this is a little bit tilted, but I'm sure you can correct that. Very nice otherwise. --Cart (talk) 10:02, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

•  Oppose Sorry, the light is very good and the comp works, but as a studio photo, I'm not impressed by this. Naturally, not every object photo needs to be focus stacked, but the DoF is rather shallow and not very well placed. The bar for photos like this is very high on FPC. --Cart (talk) 09:32, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

•  Comment Stunning flower and bud, but the cut bud in the background is drawing attention away from the main subject. You don't happen to have another shot, taken a little higher and not cutting that bud? That way you get the 2-1-3 (1=main subject, 2=secondary subject, 3=background subject) compo that always works well with flowers, now it's at 2-1-2.84. --Cart (talk) 10:22, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  Thanks for the review - unfortunately I don't have exactly the shot you describe. This would be perfect, I know. I have two similar shots, but I personally prefer this one, as one can see into the open flower. The other shots would be this one and this one. Kritzolina (talk) 11:19, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

But since it's within the rules, I’m going to try it anyway, because I really like the "Accidental Renaissance" of it. The soldiers were kind enough and they gave me permission to take photos, but they were on the job, so I wasn’t going to pester them too much. The male soldier was stationary at the gangway, while the female was patrolling the deck. This was the only chance I had to photograph her in that position.

  I understand your reasoning, but those extra pixels above the dark angle are intentional to show that the peak is there and that the pattern doesn't continue further up.

•  Comment Since I really like the nature in this photo, I had a go at it. Sure enough, by "reverse engineering" some of the edits I was happy to find a very nice landscape underneath it all. Thankfully, not much of the colors and details had been lost in the original processing. Since glacier ice can be very blue, the glacier and ice floes retained their color even after some desaturation.
