Linee guida per candidare un'immagine

[edit]

È importante leggere le linee guida prima di candidare un'immagine.

A seguito è riportato un riassunto dei punti essenziali per candidare e valutare le immagini candidate:

  • Risoluzione - Le fotografie con una risoluzione inferiore a 2 milioni di pixel vengono generalmente rifiutate e rimosse ad eccezione di motivi contrari di particolare importanza. Si noti che le immagini con risoluzione 1600 x 1200 hanno 1.92 Mpx, appena inferiore al limite minimo di 2Mpx.
Ricordiamo che le immagini caricate su Commons vengono visualizzate non solo su schermi tradizionali di PC ma sono utilizzate anche per stampa e visualizzazione su schermi ad alta risoluzione. Non possiamo certo prevedere quali tecnologie verranno utilizzate nel futuro quindi è importante che le immagini scelte per la vetrina abbiano una risoluzione quanto più alta è possibile.
  • Scansioni - È consigliabile seguire la guida alla scansione, che propone suggerimenti per l'ottenimento di immagini ottimali
  • Fuoco - ovviamente ogni oggetto significativo dell'immagine deve essere ben definito e a fuoco.
  • Primo piano e sfondo - Oggetti in primissimo piano o di sfondo possono distrarre dalla vista dal oggetto principale dell'immagine. È il caso di controllare se qualche elemento in primo piano non copra nessun elemento importante e che lo sfondo non distolga l'attenzione e renda confusa l'immagine (per esempio evitare che vi sia una luce forte alle spalle di un viso)
  • Qualità generale - le immagini candidate devono essere di alta qualità tecnica.
  • Le manipolazioni digitali non devono essere effettuate per ingannare, ma vanno usate solo limitatamente e con cura per correggere difetti fotografici. Le manipolazioni comunemente accettate sono il ritaglio e la correzione di prospettiva, focale, colore ed esposizione. Manipolazioni più estese, come può essere la rimozione di un elemento di distrazione dello sfondo, vanno chiaramente descritte nel testo di descrizione per mezzo del template {{Retouched picture}}. Manipolazioni non descritte o descritte in modo insufficiente non permettono la candidatura alla vetrina.
  • Valore - il nostro principale obiettivo è eleggere le immagini con il maggior valore rispetto a tutte le loro simili. Le immagini devono essere in qualche modo speciali, perciò fai attenzione:
    • quasi tutti i tramonti sono esteticamente piacevoli, infatti molte immagini sono simili alle altre,
    • gli scatti notturni sono gradevoli ma generalmente le foto scattate di giorno mostrano molti più dettagli,
    • non tutte le belle foto hanno in realtà un valore che non sia esclusivamente personale.

Per quanto riguarda l'aspetto tecnico abbiamo come parametri l'esposizione, la composizione, il controllo del movimento e la profondità di campo.

  • L'esposizione si riferisce alla combinazione tra tempo di esposizione e diaframma. Questa combinazione permette generalmente di avere una curva di tono che è in grado di rappresentare ombre e luci con un dettaglio accettabile. Questa curva viene detta latitudine di posa. Un'immagine può essere nella banda bassa, media o alta. Le fotocamere digitali (e le loro foto) hanno una latitudine di posa più stretta delle macchine a pellicola. La mancanza di dettagli nelle zone d'ombra non è necessariamente una caratteristica negativa. Infatti questa può essere parte dell'effetto desiderato, mentre ampie zone eccessivamente sovraesposte possono distrarre la vista.
  • La composizione si riferisce alla distribuzione degli elementi nell'immagine. La “Regola dei Terzi” è una buona linea guida per la composizione e eredita molto dagli studi di disegno. Il concetto principale considera l'immagine divisa con due linee orizzontali e due verticali, che dividono l'immagine in tre parti. Generalmente se l'oggetto viene centrato si ha un effetto poco interessante, mentre se l'oggetto viene posizionato in uno dei punti di interesse, ovvero l'intersezione delle quattro linee, si ottiene un effetto decisamente migliore. Le linee dell'orizzonte infatti non dovrebbero essere posizionate nel centro, perché taglierebbero la foto a metà; è invece preferibile scegliere una delle linee orizzontali. Complessivamente bisogna tendere a creare un'immagine dinamica.
  • Il controllo del movimento si riferisce al modo viene rappresentato il movimento nell'immagine. Il movimento può essere bloccato (seguito dalla fotocamera) oppure può essere lasciato scorrere, tuttavia l'oggetto principale dell'immagine deve essere visibile. Nessuna delle due tecniche è migliore dell'altra, la buona riuscita dipende esclusivamente dal tipo di effetto ricercato. Per esempio, fotografando una vettura da corsa che appare statica in relazione allo sfondo, che invece scorre sul retro, si ottiene l'oggetto principale in una condizione statica mentre lo sfondo crea il senso di movimento. (questa tecnica è chiamata "panning"). D'altra parte, fotografando un giocatore di basket in salto, bloccato in relazione a tutto il resto dello sfondo, si otterrebbe un buono scatto proprio per la posa innaturale.
  • La profondità di campo (PdC o DOF dall'inglese depth of field) è la distanza davanti e dietro il soggetto principale che appare nitida (a fuoco). Questo parametro viene scelto a seconda delle necessità di ogni immagine e può parimenti migliorare o peggiorare la qualità di una fotografia. Generalmente viene utilizzata una PdC ridotta per mettere al centro dell'attenzione il soggetto principale, separandolo da tutto il resto dello sfondo. Invece viene utilizzata una grande PdC per enfatizzare la profondità di un immagine. Gli obiettivi grandangolari in genere una grande PdC mentre i teleobiettivi ne hanno una decisamente ridotta. In gran parte la PdC dipende dall'apertura del diaframma: aumenta con il diminuire dell'apertura e viceversa.

Per quanto riguarda l'aspetto grafico prendiamo invece in considerazione nitidezza, profondità, colore, superficie, prospettiva, bilanciamento, proporzione, ecc.

  • La nitidezza si riferisce alle linee di contorno del soggetto principale.
  • La profondità si riferisce alla qualità dell'aspetto tridimensionale del soggetto. Ciò si ottiene soprattutto tramite un'adeguata illuminazione laterale (come quella della prima mattinata o del tardo pomeriggio) e non esclusivamente frontale, al fine di evitare l'appiattimento del soggetto.
  • Il colore è un elemento molto importante e non deve essere né troppo né poco saturo.
  • La superficie si riferisce alla qualità della superficie degli oggetti fotografati.
  • La prospettiva si riferisce all'angolazione dalla quale è stata scattata la fotografia. Essa crea una serie di rette immaginarie che seguono gli spigoli paralleli degli oggetti e si incontrano in un punto che può essere dentro o fuori l'immagine.
  • Il bilanciamento si riferisce alla disposizione degli oggetti nell'immagine e può essere equilibrato o porre maggior peso verso una direzione.
  • La proporzione si riferisce alla relazione tra le dimensioni degli oggetti all'interno dell'immagine. Generalmente si tende a rappresentare oggetti con ridotta relazione, ma una buona tecnica è quella di rappresentare gli oggetti di dimensioni minori in modo più esteso, contrariamente a quanto è in realtà. Per esempio, un piccolo fiore che viene rappresentato con le stesse dimensioni di una grande montagna: questa tecnica viene chiamata inversione di scala.
Ovviamente, non tutte le caratteristiche devono essere necessariamente presenti. Le immagini possono essere giudicate sia per una sola caratteristica che per diverse caratteristiche, anche contemporaneamente.
  • Significato simbolico o rilevanza particolare …Le guerre d'opinione possono iniziare!…. Va ricordato che una pessima fotografia di un soggetto difficilissimo da fotografare è sicuramente migliore di un'immagine ordinaria e tradizionale (come un comune tramonto).
Le immagini possono essere scelte da un fotografo o da un osservatore anche per motivi culturali, tenendo però sempre conto del contesto dello scatto e non di quello dell'osservatore. Un'immagine inoltre può "parlare" alle persone e avere la capacità di evocare emozioni, che tuttavia non devono essere necessariamente piacevoli.

Per ottimizzare le possibilità di successo delle candidature delle tue immagini è consigliabile leggere le linee guida complete.

Ogni votante è pregato di motivare il proprio voto con qualche parola, in particolar modo se si vota contro. Ricorda inoltre di aggiungere la tua firma (~~~~). I voti anonimi non sono accettati.

Candidare un'immagine alla rimozione dalla vetrina

[edit]

Gli standard della vetrina cambiano col tempo. Può succedere che un'immagine che era stata eletta per la vetrina non sia più adatta agli standard attuali.

Questa lista è perciò composta dalle immagini considerate non più adatte a rimanere nella vetrina. Vota:

  • {{Mantenere}}  Keep per far sì che l'immagine rimanga nella vetrina.
  • {{Rimuovere}}  Oppose per far sì che l'immagine venga rimossa dalla vetrina.

Se consideri che un'immagine non rispetti più i criteri delle immagini in vetrina, candidala per la rimozione copiando il nome dell'immagine dentro questa casella di testo (includendo il prefisso dell' Image:) a seguito del testo già presente in essa:


Nella pagina appena creata includi:

  • Le informazioni sull'origine dell'immagine (autore dell'immagine, autore della candidatura);
  • Un collegamento all'iniziale candidatura per l'inserimento nella vetrina (che va inserito sotto ==Collegamenti== nella descrizione dell'immagine);
  • Il motivo per cui l'hai candidata per la rimozione dalla vetrina e il tuo Nome utente.

Dopo aver fatto ciò devi inserire manualmente un collegamento alla pagina creata all'inizio della lista di rimozione dalla vetrina.

Politica di elezione per la vetrina

[edit]

Regole generali

[edit]
  1. Il periodo di votazione è di 9 giorni completi, a partire dalla candidatura. I risultato verrà determinato alla fine di questo periodo. I voti aggiunti il decimo giorno o a seguito non verranno considerati.
  2. Sono benvenuti i contributori anonimi.
  3. I contributi di anonimi alle discussioni sono benvenuti.
  4. I voti di contributori anonimi non saranno accettati.
  5. La candidatura non conta come voto. Il voto di supporto va esplicitato.
  6. Gli autori delle candidature possono ritirare le loro immagini candidate in ogni momento. Questo si ottiene scrivendo semplicemente "I withdraw my nomination" (in inglese: ritiro la mia candidatura)
    o aggiungendo il testo {{withdraw|~~~~}}.
  7. Ricorda che l'obiettivo del progetto Wikimedia Commons è di costruire una raccolta di immagini utilizzabili da tutti i progetti Wikimedia, inclusi possibili progetti futuri. Perciò non bisogna pensare che questo sia una raccolta dedicata esclusivamente al progetto Wikipedia e per tanto le immagini non vanno valutate in funzione di ciò.
  8. Le immagini vengono rimosse dalla lista di candidature se non hanno voti a supporto (escluso quello dell'autore della candidatura) entro il quinto giorno dalla candidatura (La regola del quinto giorno)
  9. Le immagini dotate del template {{FPX}} non devono essere rimosse dalla lista entro le 48 ore successive al momento in cui è stato applicato il template, purchè non vi sia nessun voto a supporto oltre quello dell'autore della candidatura.

Regole di ammissione e rimozione dalla vetrina

[edit]

Un'immagine candidata viene ammessa alla vetrina se si verificano le seguenti condizioni:

  1. La licenza è adeguata (ovviamente).
  2. Se ha almeno 5 voti a supporto.
  3. Se il rapporto tra voti pro/contro è almeno 2/1 (se ha due terzi di maggioranza).
  4. Non possono essere ammessi alla vetrina diverse versioni della stessa immagine, ne deve essere scelta una sola versione.

I criteri per la rimozione dalla vetrina sono gli stessi per l'ammissione ad essa, compreso il periodo di voto e la regola del quinto giorno (vedi nelle Regole generali).

Ogni utente esperto può portare a termine una votazione: per istruzioni su come compiere questa operazione vedi la guida per portare a termina la votazione.

Infine, sii cortese

[edit]

Per piacere non dimenticare che l'immagine che stai giudicando è frutto del lavoro di qualcuno. Evita di usare frasi come è orribile: se devi opporti non fare spiacevoli considerazioni. Inoltre ricorda che è necessario scrivere in inglese se vuoi essere compreso dagli altri utenti e che il tuo utilizzo di questa lingua e quello degli altri utenti può comunque generare incomprensioni se non si ha un'ottima conoscenza, perciò scegli le parole con cura.

Buon voto… e ricorda che.... tutte le regole possono avere qualche eccezione.

Contemporary photographic art; The photo that won first place at the 2019 “ExpoGer” International Photography Festival
  • 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]

Titan triggerfish (Balistoides viridescens) in a cleaning station of some bluestreak cleaner wrasses (Labroides dimidiatus), Nosy Sakatia, Madagascar.
  • Gallery: Commons:Featured pictures/Animals/Fish#Family_:_Balistidae_(Triggerfish)
  •  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.

  • 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.

Fragment of the Mandelbrot set, using perturbation theory. Coordinate X approx -2.0. View size 1.15e-119. Rendered using 8x8 SSAA (Super-Sampling Anti-Aliasing). C++ source code included.
  •  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]

    Yes! Aokoroko (talk) 18:27, 20 July 2026 (UTC)[reply]
    I think it was already demonstrated that there are no disjointed parts of the Mandelbrot set. That is, all of them are interconnected. -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 18:39, 20 July 2026 (UTC)[reply]
    Well, yes! Aokoroko (talk) 19:03, 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 . 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)[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.

  •  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]

Contemporary photographic art; The photo that won first place at the 2019 “ExpoGer” International Photography Festival
  • 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 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.

  •  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).

  • 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.

Fragment of the Mandelbrot set, using perturbation theory. Coordinate X approx -2.0. View size 1.15e-119. Rendered using 8x8 SSAA (Super-Sampling Anti-Aliasing). C++ source code included.
  •  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]

    I think it was already demonstrated that there are no disjointed parts of the Mandelbrot set. That is, all of them are interconnected. -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 18:39, 20 July 2026 (UTC)[reply]
    Well, yes! Aokoroko (talk) 19:03, 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 . 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)[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.

  •  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]
