Commons:秀逸な画像の推薦
ここにある画像は秀逸な画像への候補画像です。 今日の一枚とは異なりますのでご注意ください。
概要
[edit]推薦にあたって
[edit]推薦者のためのガイドライン
[edit]まずはじめに、『秀逸な画像ガイドライン』、『画像のガイドライン』をお読みください。
ここでは推薦画像の評価を受ける・する際の必要事項を要約して紹介します。
- 解像度 - 200万ピクセル以下の写真画像は、特別な理由が無い限り却下されます。1,600 x 1,200 ピクセル(1.92メガピクセル)は200万ピクセルには届いていない事にご注意ください。
- コモンズに置かれた画像は一般的なPCモニターのみで閲覧されるとは限らず、プリントアウトや高解像度モニターで表示される可能性もあります。将来的にもどのような機器が用いられるようになるかは誰にも予想出来ないので、推薦画像が可能な限り高い解像度を保っている事は重要な事なのです。
- スキャン画像 - 公式な方針ではありませんが、Help:スキャニングページで各種様々な画像を準備するための有用なアドバイスが提供されています。
- フォーカス - 通常、重要な被写体は全て焦点が合っていなければいけません。
- 前景と背景 - 前景や背景に主題ではない物が写り込むと、それは“余計なもの”になり得ます。前景にある物が主題の重要な部分を隠していないか、背景にあるものが構図を損ねていないか(例:後ろの街灯が人物の頭の上から生えているように見える、等)を確認しましょう。
- 全体品質 - 推薦される画像には高い技術品質が要求されます。
- デジタル補正 - 見る人を欺いてはいけません。写真画像のキズ・ホコリ等を修正する、良い編集、故意に人を騙す目的でない限り、デジタル補正は一般的に歓迎されます。例を挙げると、色合い/露出補正、シャープ/ボカシ、遠近感歪み補正、トリミング(切り取り)等がこれにあたります。背景に写り込んだ余計な物を取り除く等のさらに大がかりな修正は、{{Retouched picture}}テンプレートを画像ページへ貼付け、修正した旨を記述しましょう。記述漏れや記述ミスがある等、主題を不正確に見せる編集は決して受け入れられません。
- 価値 - 『全ての画像の中でも特に際立ち、最も価値のある画像』が我々の大きな目標です。秀逸な画像はそれぞれの分野の中でも別格でなけらばならず、故に次の点に留意して下さい。
- たいていの夕日は美しく見えますが、そういう画像のほとんどは他の夕日画像と大差ありません。
- 夜景は美しいですが、普通は日中に撮影された写真の方がより詳細を見せてくれます。
- 必ずしも『美しさに価値がある』わけではありません。
技術的側面では『露出』、『構図』、『動感表現』、『被写界深度』等を見ます。
- 露出とはシャッタースピードと絞りとの組み合わせの事を言い、適切なトーンカーブが見せる陰影〜ハイライトが有用なディティールを描写します。これをラティチュード(露光寛容度)と言い、このラティチュードの陰影〜ハイライトの領域内において、画像を暗め、中庸、明るめに作る事が出来ますが、デジタルカメラ及びデジタル画像はこのラティチュードの範囲がフィルムに比べて狭いです。ディティールの欠損した影部分は必ずしも「悪い」わけではなく、実際にその様な効果が望ましい場合(部分)もあります。ただしディティールの欠損したハイライト部分が大きく面積を占めるのは良くありません。
- 構図とは画像画面内での各要素の配置の事を言います。“三分割法”は構図作成には良い方法で、美術学校でも教えられています。まず、画像に水平線と垂直線をそれぞれ2本引き、画像を水平・垂直方向とも3分割します。主題を中央に配置するとたいていは画面に面白味を欠き、水平線と垂直線が交差する4つの交点の内どれか1つに主題を置いた方が良い画面になるでしょう。地平線は画面を半分に切ってしまうので、通常は地平線を中央に配置するべきではありません。上寄り、若しくは下寄りに配置させる方が良いでしょう。主たる考え方としては空間を上手に使い、躍動感・臨場感のある画面を作るという事です。
- 動感表現 - ここでは被写体の「動き」を表現する手法を紹介します。動きのある被写体は止まって見えるか、もしくはブレて写りますが、これらはどちらの方が良いとは必ずしも言えず、どのような表現意図を持っているかによります。「動感」は主題と共に写り込んでいる他の背景等との関係で表現されます。例えばレーシングカーの撮影。車と背景とが共に止まって見えては、見る側にスピード感は伝わってきません。 なので撮影手法によって車は画面内で止まっているように写り、かつ背景をブレさせることでスピード感が表現され、このような手法を「パンニング(流し撮り)」と呼びます。一方で、背景と共に止まって撮られた高く跳躍したバスケットボール選手は、これは決定的瞬間の「不自然」なポーズになり、これも良い写真になり得るでしょう。
- 被写界深度(DOF)とは主題の前側から後ろ側までのフォーカスエリアの事を言います。被写界深度は全ての画像で明解な意図のもと選択され、深い、または浅い被写界深度は、画像に品質を与えもし、また損なわせもします。浅い被写界深度は、主題を他の被写体から切り離し、見せたい被写体に注目を集めることが出来ます。深い被写界深度は空間を強調させる事が出来ます。広角(短焦点)レンズは深い被写界深度、逆に望遠(長焦点)レンズは浅い被写界深度が得られる傾向があります。また絞りを絞り込むと被写界深度は深く、解放すると浅い被写界深度が得られます。
グラフィック要素では形状、ボリューム、色、テクスチャー、遠近感、バランス、比率 等を見ます。
- 形状とは主題に対する輪郭線、及び形状を言います。
- ボリュームとは主題の立体感に対する品質を言います。立体感は横からのライティングで表現出来、反対に正面からのライティングは被写体を平坦に見せる傾向があり、不向きとされています。自然光の中でベストな光を得るには、早朝か、もしくは夕方の日の光が良いでしょう。
- 色は大変重要で、強すぎる色合いは好ましくありません。
- テクスチャーとは主題の表面材質の描写性に於ける品質を言います。表面材質は横からのライティングにより強調され、手に触れて伝わるかのような質感を与えます。
- 遠近感とは、画像の画面内若しくは外にある消失点で繋がる放射状の直線、これに沿った形で現れる「角度」により表現されます。
- バランスでは画像の画面内での重心が左右均衡か、若しくは片方に寄る等適切な配置が成されているかを見ます。
- 比率では画面の大きさに対する被写体の大きさを見ます。一般的に、小さな被写体は小さく写真に表現してしまう傾向にありますが、相応しい撮影手法により小さな被写体を実寸とは逆に大きく見せる事が可能です。例えば、小さな花を大きな山よりも大きく見る事が出来ます。この手法を指して「倒置法」と呼びます。
- 主題の全ての要素を画像に盛込む必要はありません。多くの写真はそれぞれの個性で評価出来ます。すなわち、画像の色やテクスチャー等々により判断出来ます。
- 『象徴性か妥当性か』 ー 『秀逸な画像』ではしばしばこのようなテーマで意見論争が起こる傾向にあります。技術的・品質的には出来の悪い写真でも極めて撮影困難な被写体を捉えた写真は、凡庸な被写体を写した品質的に良い写真よりも評価されます。もちろん撮影困難な被写体を写し、かつ品質も良い写真は極めて価値の高い写真と言えます。
- 画像は時に撮影者と評価者、若しくはどちらか片方の文化的な偏りが見られます。画像の意図は画像そのものの文化的背景により評価されるべきであり、評価者の文化的背景に依存してはいけません。イメージは人に語りかけ、そして慈しみ、怒り、拒絶、幸せ、悲しみ等の感情を喚起させる力を持っています。良い写真から与えられる心地よさには限りがありません。
画像のガイドラインを事前に読めば、あなたの推薦が成就する可能性を最大限に引き伸ばしてくれるでしょう。

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)
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)
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)
- 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)

- Because this is not what we really see when looking at the monument, due to perspective correction.

Info I find this photo so fascinating that I nominated it. Unfortunately, it has a few issues with its categorization and description, but the subject matter was so compelling. -- XRay 💬 18:08, 22 July 2026 (UTC)
Support -- XRay 💬 17:57, 22 July 2026 (UTC)
Comment This is indeed a fascinating image, but I believe a Commons featured picture should be minimally documented, which is not the case. The only thing we have is the image name, which Google translates "The books are passed down from generation to generation." But a lot of aditional information is available, just by dumping the image into Google Gemini: the photographer, the sculpture, place, etc. -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 18:48, 22 July 2026 (UTC)
- Thanks, I gave it a try. However, I'm now concerned that the photographer, Mohammad Hossein Madadi, uploaded the photo himself. -- XRay 💬 19:00, 22 July 2026 (UTC)
- Concerns have grown even further, as the sculpture is reportedly located in Sharjah in the United Arab Emirates. -- XRay 💬 19:06, 22 July 2026 (UTC)

- 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)
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)
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)

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)

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)
- 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)
- Yes, I agree. The person is a net positive. Yann (talk) 20:37, 24 July 2026 (UTC)
- @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)
- 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)

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)
- 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).

Support Is there a limit on the number of photos of certain species? In any case, this is an excellent photo that fits perfectly into this category.--Ermell (talk) 20:55, 21 July 2026 (UTC)
- 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. I get the feeling I’m going to be outvoted here, so if I end up being the only voter blocking a five day promotion, I will remove my vote as a courtesy to Tisha’s great photos which I want to make clear I do enjoy.

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)
- 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)
Info See here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Mandelbrot-with-xy-grid.png -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 13:10, 20 July 2026 (UTC)
- 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)

- 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 . Upon further experiments, he revised his conjecture, deciding that 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)

Comment So where are they: Pdanese and Alvesgaspar? Aokoroko (talk) 19:11, 25 July 2026 (UTC)
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)
- 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)
- 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)
- 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)
- 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)
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)
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)
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)
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)
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)
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)
Support: I agree that this is actually a well-composed image, ethical issues aside. --The Cosmonaut (talk) 16:58, 19 July 2026 (UTC)
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)
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)
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)
- 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)

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.

Support -- ★ 21:23, 23 July 2026 (UTC)
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)
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)
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)
- 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)

- 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)
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)
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)

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)

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)
- 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)
- Yes, I agree. The person is a net positive. Yann (talk) 20:37, 24 July 2026 (UTC)
- @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)
- 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)

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)
- 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).

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)
- 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)
Info See here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Mandelbrot-with-xy-grid.png -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 13:10, 20 July 2026 (UTC)
- 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)

- 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 . Upon further experiments, he revised his conjecture, deciding that should be connected. A topological proof of the connectedness was discovered in 2001 by Jeremy Kahn.[2] Majow (talk) 23:10, 20 July 2026 (UTC)

Comment So where are they: Pdanese and Alvesgaspar? Aokoroko (talk) 19:11, 25 July 2026 (UTC)
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)
- 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)
- 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)
- 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)
- 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.

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)
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)
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)
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)
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)
Support: I agree that this is actually a well-composed image, ethical issues aside. --The Cosmonaut (talk) 16:58, 19 July 2026 (UTC)
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)
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)
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)
- 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)
Oppose Crop-compo, colors. --Mile (talk) 08:21, 21 July 2026 (UTC)
