提名

如果您認為您已經找到或拍攝了一張可能符合標準的影象，並使用了適當的影象描述和版權標記許可，那麼請按照如下步驟操作：

1. 按照括號內的格式（Commons:Featured picture candidates/File:提名影象名稱.jpg）在下方的文字框輸入影象名稱，然後點選“建立新提名”按鈕。

如果本次提名為第n次提名，請按照括號內的格式（Commons:Featured picture candidates/File:提名影象名稱.jpg/2）展開操作。

所有的新圖片集提名頁面都應按照括號內的格式（Commons:Featured picture candidates/Set/My nomination）進行。

2. 按照編輯頁面上的說明進行操作並儲存頁面。（注：開啟編輯頁面後，您在上方看到的“LIST OF NOMINATIONS (Put your nominations to the TOP of this section (after this comment))”大意為“這裡是候選圖片列表，請將您的提名提交到本節的頂部（在本行後）”；您在下方看到的“DO NOT ADD NEW NOMINATIONS ABOVE THIS LINE, BUT ON TOP”大意為“不要在本行上方新增新的貼士（除了頂部）”。）

3. 點選此處並按如下格式在圖片候選區的頂端加入新內容：

{{Commons:Featured picture candidates/File:提名影象名稱.jpg}}

推薦操作：請COM:FP的列表處新增一個分類。

可選操作：如果您不是影象的建立者，請通知在他/她的討論頁添入“{{subst:FPC-notice|Your image filename.jpg}} -- ~~~~”（不含括號）。

注意調校你的熒光屏

光暗度

在討論影象的光暗度的時候，投票者有必要知道他們的螢幕顯示有否被適當地調整。不同的螢幕顯示，它們顯示陰影細節的能力亦大有不同。旁邊為一幅畫了四個暗灰色的圓圈的圖片。如果您能辨明其中三個（甚至四個）圈子，那表示你的的螢幕可以正確地顯示陰影細節。如果你只能夠看到三個以下的圈子，你可能需要調整你的螢幕以及/或者電腦顯示設定。一些顯示裝置可能無法被調整至觀察陰影細節的最理想度數，故此請在投票的時候考慮這點。如果可行的話，也可以考慮把它打印出來。

色彩度

在伽瑪調整的螢幕顯示上從幾尺之外觀看右圖，圖中四個不同顏色的圈子會自然混入背景之中。如果他們完全跟背景混合，你則須要調校你的伽瑪設定（在電腦的輸出設定上，而不在於螢幕顯示），直到它們能彼此融合。調校的過程也許會非常困難，然而輕微的偏差並不是致命傷。未能更正的個人電腦顯示通常會顯示出比背景深色的圈子。請注意，在液晶顯示（無論膝上電腦或者平面螢幕）上觀看圖片，你的觀看角度有很大可能影響螢幕上的影象質素。如有需要，請點選影象以獲得更多技術資訊。

Info Male Lion (Panthera leo) prowling in the Serengeti National Park, Tanzania. Prowling primarly consists of walking slowly low-to-the-ground with head down while fixing the target and trying to be as stealthy as possible. This action is a behavior commonly expressed by large carnivores to assess their surroundings, stalk preys, or approach with reduced detectability. In this instance, the lion was pursuing a cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus) mother and her three cubs, that where close to a recent kill. Lions frequently engage in kleptoparasitism by usurping kills from smaller predators and may also attack cheetahs or their offspring to reduce interspecific competition for prey resources.

Comment I think crop above is a bit tight, i would add some px of sky. Also, when doing PD, did you enlarge vertical ? Seem it need some too. Otherwise good shot, QI. @Carschten, ★. --Mile (talk) 09:23, 24 July 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Comment The immediate feeling is that the building is leaning to the left, which is not confirmed by checking the verticals. That has probably to do with the non-horizontal ground? Any way, I would not go as far with the PC and would leave the verticals slightly convergent. Alvesgaspar (talk) 11:27, 24 July 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Comment @ArionStar, PetarM, and Alvesgaspar: Thank you very much for the nomination and your feedback. I’ve extended the crop at the top and also distorted the perspective again. In my view, we have to accept that the building itself und the surrounding have very few truly straight horizontal and vertical lines. I’ve tried a lot, but a completely satisfactory result won’t be possible due to my perspective and the building’s construction. If there is one, I’d be happy to see your suggestions. However, I’m not really sure what "enlarge vertical" means or how I’m supposed to correct the perspective while still keeping the verticals slightly convergent. --kaʁstn 11:59, 24 July 2026 (UTC)[reply]
- Not your fault or the building's fault, I believe. The vertical and horizontal lines are correct to within about 0.2 degrees. I asked ChatGPT and he suggested it might be the result of an assymetrical background and lighting. I rotated the image 0.5 degrees clockwise ... and magic, it looked straight. -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 12:04, 26 July 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I will support if we have the right to host this picture on the site, but I don't know if that's true yet given the above questions. Cmao20 (talk) 15:07, 23 July 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Quite right, I see at least two issues here. First, is this image subject to copyright? Even if the uploader is the author, that does not imply the image is free. Second, may photographs of the sculpture in Saudi Arabia be published? -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 15:12, 23 July 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Comment @A2071: Unfortunately, I can't answer the questions that have come up. I would ask the photographer to comment on this. -- XRay 💬 08:44, 26 July 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Can only agree – the photo is fascinating, but at the same time there may be legal problems, at least regarding the sculpture. According to Commons:Freedom of panorama, the United Arab Emirates don’t have freedom of panorama (and Saudi Arabia doesn’t have it, too). Of course it is possible that the photographer got a permission to take and even to publish the photo including the sculpture. But only the photographer can explain this … – Aristeas (talk) 09:32, 26 July 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Info Titan triggerfish (Balistoides viridescens) waiting in a cleaning station, see the bluestreak cleaner wrasses (Labroides dimidiatus) cleaning the gills in Nosy Sakatia, Madagascar. The titan triggerfish lives in lagoons and at reefs to depths of 50 centimetres (20 in) in most of the Indo-Pacific. With a length of up to 75 centimetres (30 in) it's the largest species of triggerfish in its range. The titan triggerfish is diurnal and solitary. It feeds on sea urchins, molluscs, crustaceans, tube worms and coral. It's one of a number of species of fish which can hunt and eat the crown-of-thorns starfish. They have been observed being aggressive to other fish who enter their territory and females can be aggressive to divers and snorkelers around their nests during the reproduction season, which occurs for about a week in each month (either after the full moon or new moon, depending on the population). Note: there are no FPs on Commons of the genus Balistoides. c/u/n by Poco a poco (talk) 07:08, 22 July 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Weak support Support if the people were absent. This is a very nice, well-composed interior photograph with good lighting and detail. However, the presence of a person sleeping on the sofa is distracting and makes the image less suitable as a general illustration of the room.--Olfa Yakoubi -ألفة يعقوبي (talk) 10:17, 24 July 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for your comment, i understand the concern, but their presence is part of the composition—it is not an accidental. Beyond providing a sense of human scale, it transforms the room, turning it from a generic interior into an inhabited space with a narrative. Without it, the photograph would look more like an Airbnb or real estate listing. The image depicts the end of a beach day in Rio de Janeiro, the phone left on the floor, the glasses on the table, the hastily placed bag, and the person asleep on the sofa all contribute to the narrative Wilfredor (talk) 12:36, 24 July 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I agree. The person is a net positive. Yann (talk) 20:37, 24 July 2026 (UTC)[reply]

@Wilfredor Thank you for your explanation. I completely understand your artistic intention, and I do like the photograph.

Maybe it's just my housewife instincts speaking 😄. Whenever I see an interior, I automatically imagine how it would look if everything were neat and tidy! So, for me, the sleeping person catches my eye more than the beautiful room itself.

That said, I appreciate the story you wanted to tell, and I respect your artistic choice. We simply see the image from different perspectives, and that's what makes photography discussions interesting. Olfa Yakoubi -ألفة يعقوبي (talk) 20:44, 24 July 2026 (UTC)[reply]
An image can tell a different story to each person, which is why I rarely explain or comment on my photos. I think it is lovely to see things from a homemaker’s perspective, and it is also nice to know that there is a real person behind the words. As someone who lived alone for a long time, keeping everything neat and organized was relatively easy. Now that I have a family with teenager and baby, it can be a little more challenging, but I still enjoy having things tidy and in order Wilfredor (talk) 14:58, 25 July 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Although this image could be evaluated mainly for its aesthetics, I would need some aditional information to understand what we are really looking at. Two main questions: first, is this only ice and snow, or is there some water too (whose presence may be inferred by the presence of the darker areas)? Second, we have no way of scaling this image. Was the picture taken 200m or 2m from the subject? -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 15:58, 23 July 2026 (UTC)[reply]
I see this image more as an artwork rather than an educational one, and its unclear scaling somewhat contributes to its artistic dimension but I understand that this isn't interesting for everyone. Looking at the other two photos taken by the photographer from this same location (no. 1 and no. 3), I can say that the dark spots are water, and the image was taken from a close distance at the point where the ice meets the lake (referring to macro and close-up in categories).

No, and there shouldn’t be a limit, but in my personal judgement an FP should be one of the best in its specific scope, and I don’t think this is as good as some of the others for composition or light. The angle is not appealing to me and the picture seems a little dark.

Comment @Aokoroko: It would be great to include in the image file a scheme showing the exact location, in Mandelbrot set, where the picture was calculated. I assume that no part of this image depicts parts of the Mandelbrot set itself, which is usuaaly painted black. Which would mean that this was taken from somme peripheric part and the differemt colours correspond to different numbers of iterations before the cycle diverged. Am I right? -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 12:47, 20 July 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Scheme showing the exact location, in Mandelbrot set - and how??? Is there one somewhere? At X ≈ -2.0 (specifically -1.999995...)!!! Aokoroko (talk) 13:05, 20 July 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Info See here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Mandelbrot-with-xy-grid.png -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 13:10, 20 July 2026 (UTC)[reply]
You are partly right! Yes, the vibrant colored areas represent the escape time (the number of iterations before the sequence diverges to infinity).

However, parts of the Mandelbrot set itself are actually present in this image. Inside those small 'infinity' structures, there are tiny, dark island copies of the main Mandelbrot set (micro-cardioids).

As mentioned in the description, this is a deep zoom at X ≈ -2.0 (specifically -1.999995...). This location is at the very tip of the main antenna (the extreme western needle) of the Mandelbrot set. Since the zoom is incredibly deep (1.15 × 10⁻¹¹⁹), making a visual map/scheme is practically impossible, as any standard resolution overview map would look like a single atom or completely disappear at this scale. The exact numerical coordinates provided are the only way to locate it. Aokoroko (talk) 13:15, 20 July 2026 (UTC)[reply]

According to en:Mandelbrot set#Basic properties: Douady and Hubbard showed that the Mandelbrot set is connected. They constructed an explicit conformal isomorphism between the complement of the Mandelbrot set and the complement of the closed unit disk. Mandelbrot had originally conjectured that the Mandelbrot set is disconnected. This conjecture was based on computer pictures generated by programs that are unable to detect the thin filaments connecting different parts of $M$ . Upon further experiments, he revised his conjecture, deciding that $M$ should be connected. A topological proof of the connectedness was discovered in 2001 by Jeremy Kahn.^[1] Majow (talk) 23:10, 20 July 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Indeed, I have a question. I assume that no point in this image belongs to the M-set, that is, iterations diverged to infinity in all of them. Which means calculations were made in the close periphery. Am I right? -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 21:20, 25 July 2026 (UTC)[reply]
No! The point in the middle (horizontal and vertical – both in the center) – in e-162 gives the Mandelbrot set!!! https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Mandelbrot_large.png Aokoroko (talk) 23:07, 25 July 2026 (UTC)[reply]
If the point in the middle belongs to the Mandelbrot set, then there must be other M-set parts connected to it because the whole M set is connected. Were they caught by your algorithm? -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 23:21, 25 July 2026 (UTC)[reply]
I am familiar with the algorithm: the algorithm is based on a dot grid and smooths the calculated colors by averaging; consequently, it cannot capture these fine filaments. However, this is not a flaw, but an artistic decision. --Majow (talk) 06:37, 26 July 2026 (UTC)[reply]
You are absolutely right mathematically: the Mandelbrot set is connected, and these parts must be linked. However, there is a huge difference between mathematical truth and pixel resolution. At this extreme zoom (Width = 4.6 × 10⁻¹⁶²). When we look at the wider view (10⁻¹¹⁹), the grid of pixels is way too coarse. The connecting threads are billions of times smaller than a single pixel at that scale, so they completely "drop through the cracks" of the grid. They exist, but they are physically invisible to the rendering algorithm at that magnification level. It's like trying to see a 1-millimeter wire on a map of the entire solar system.

Support Not a nice subject but certainly a well composed picture with plenty of value to Wikimedia projects. Cmao20 (talk) 14:26, 18 July 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose composition trouble: unfortunate cropping at the bottom and especially on the left, half of the main character's head is missing -- George Chernilevsky ^talk 15:17, 18 July 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose as per George. The tight crop, especially cutting off much of the researcher's head, weakens the composition. This would be a good candidate for COM:VIC instead. -- Radomianin (talk) 19:09, 18 July 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Beside illustrating animal cruelty, I don't see much value. Quality is OK, but composition is not really interesting. Yann (talk) 19:21, 18 July 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Bad crop, bad composition, normal quality and in all honesty not special enough to be featured. Wolverine X-eye 08:50, 19 July 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Per above. It might be valuable for the people in the image who are part of the context, but for viewers, I don't see much value in a poor creature hanging by its tail and the smile of the young lady present at this scene. I'm not very familiar with VIC, but I don't think this is an example of the best image within scope. -- IamMM (talk) 09:26, 19 July 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I'm surprised people don't like the composition, that was the reason why I nominated the image: I like the curve of the girls' faces and their gazes looking up at the mouse, which to me is the focal point of the image. I understand being upset at the animal cruelty on display, but I think it is a good illustration of the subject (animal testing), and I think that how upsetting a subject is should not decide whether it is FP or not. I think this image, in its controversial theme, can spark an interesting debate. LetmeEditit (talk) 11:26, 19 July 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Support: I agree that this is actually a well-composed image, ethical issues aside. --The Cosmonaut (talk) 16:58, 19 July 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Strong support I find the curve of the arm and faces to be very interesting compositionally, and I believe the bright colors and expressions conflicting with the condemnable subject matter give this picture notable complexity. In my opinion this photograph has plenty of utility even judging solely by virtue of the reaction it warranted here. I interpret it as an illustration of how, when given justification, people allow themselves to be happy with the reprehensible. Depiction of the controversial should not be discouraged, as it allows us to see the real state of the world, instead of just what we agree with. — Julian Lupyan (talk) 18:36, 20 July 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Yes, the photo is well composed, but it does not mitigate the implicit animal cruelty. In a way, depicting that reality with a nice picture seems to blank what it represents. -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 18:43, 20 July 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Support I think there is an important distinction between illustrating cruelty and supporting cruelty. This is a well composed image that illustrates a common practice which is perceived by many to be cruel. Would featuring it mean that we support the cruelty? I don't think so. An aside: we have several images of animals as food. One, iirc, of several dead pig carcasses in a market. Those images were featured. I don't see how this is more cruel than that, and I say this as a meat eater. --UnpetitproleX (Talk) 22:36, 20 July 2026 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with this. I don't like what's going on in the photograph but I don't think that should preclude it from FP. Cmao20 (talk) 23:59, 20 July 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Crop-compo, colors. --Mile (talk) 08:21, 21 July 2026 (UTC)[reply]
