• Comment – Unfortunetely this is too small. The Featured picture criteria says "images should be a minimum of 1500 pixels in width and height". In this case, however, an exception may be granted for historical reasons. —Bruce1ee^talk 12:50, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  I think an exception is called for here. It's the deadliest North African WWII concentration camp, and this is the only photo of it. No trace remains of the camp nor of the nearby medieval cemetery where the prisoners buried their dead—so not even a photo of ruins can be taken to replace or supplement it. ꧁Zanahary꧂ 13:20, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Weak oppose - I'd be okay with giving this one a pass on resolution, since it's historical and exceeds 1500px on the long axis, but it's both low-contrast and kind of blurry up close. If there were a better copy of this image, I'd support it. Moonreach (talk) 14:21, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Socially Distanced Homeless Encampment[edit]

Voting period is over. Please don't add any new votes. Voting period ends on 7 Jul 2024 at 14:18:23 (UTC)

Reason

Good EV for the pandemic (even if it has to compete with a lot of other good-EV pictures on both pages it's on). Aesthetically interesting, contextually illustrative (of the concept of social distancing), and historically important. I'm nominating it under "Other" for a category because it doesn't fit neatly into any of the others. "People" comes closest, since this is a human thing, but there aren't that many people in the focus area of the image, so I'm stumped. Moonreach (talk) 14:18, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Oppose – Interesting concept but poor execution. I really doubt the EV because this is a very wide aerial shot that very poorly depicts the social distancing. From this angle, it is nothing more than a courtyard with equally distant rectangles. The shadow on the lower half and the structures on the sides are distracting too. Regretful oppose but good concept. Any other angle resolving those points I raised have my support. The Herald (Benison) (talk) 16:39, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  There are two other pictures from the same set. I'd be happy to support either if other people think they have merit, but I don't think the composition of either one is quite as impactful. Moonreach (talk) 16:56, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The logic we usually use is that people advocating for change in laws, such as suffragettes, get filed under political. This is a little more subtle, as she's arguably advocating for societal change, but the movement culminated in Prohibition. She was also a religious leader of sorts.

• Comment. Charles, are you certain that this is Scolia hirta unifasciata? I know very little about scoliid wasps, but the fact that the antennae are bright yellow rather than black doesn't seem to match that species, and the two separate yellow spots on the abdomen (rather than a single yellow band, as the Latin name implies) gave me pause. There are over 900 photos labeled Scolia hirta on Flicker (including some of the subsp. unifasciata), and I scrolled quickly through all of them looking for a parallel. While I did find a some individuals in which the abdominal dots had not fully fused into solid band, I didn't find a single instance of yellow antennae. When I widened my search to other Mediterranean scoliids, however, I came across a number of photos of Megascolia bidens that seem to match your wasp exactly. The female of that species has four yellow abdominal spots and short reddish antennae, but the male has only two spots and long bright yellow antennae. Compare these photos: [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8], [9]. All of these are identified as Megascolia bidens, and all of them seem to me to be a better fit for your wasp than Scolia hirta. I also found this paper, which confirms that M. bidens is found in Tunisia, where your photo was taken, and describes the distinguishing features of the species, including the yellow antennae and two abdominal spots on the male. I'm no expert, and I don't want to substitute my judgment for yours, but take a look at the photos and the paper and see what you think. Choliamb (talk) 21:11, 7 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Russell Lee[edit]

Voting period is over. Please don't add any new votes. Voting period ends on 13 Jul 2024 at 14:15:23 (UTC)

Reason

Another in a series of photographs of photographers. There are a couple other options (e.g. File:Russell-Lee-FSA.jpg), but this one was by far the most widely used, and the one that looked the worst in the old version. I'd say the crop is fairly conservative: I didn't crop any of him (except maybe a few pixels at the bottom: edges aren't perfectly straight), but did take a smidgen more off the right to centre him, and cropped the weird... reflection? damage? intruding lights? at the top, which still has more than ample headspace.

• Yeah. There are some much sharper studio portraits from decades earlier, many of them seen here at FPC... Here, too, the focus seems to be in the wrong place. The eyes need to be in perfect focus, even if the Depth of field is shallow. --Janke | Talk 20:29, 6 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  Decades earlier was a very different camera technology. The increase in film speed was met with a decrease in focus for a while. Adam Cuerden ^(talk)_{Has about 8.8% of all FPs.} 00:37, 7 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• True, but in both these photos I see a focusing error. A grainy photo can also be sharp. --Janke | Talk 09:25, 7 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  Honestly, I suspect there's somewhat of an issue in the 40s of them knowing what images were being used for. No need to get an amazing perfect focus in an image that's never going to be seen bigger than about 6" (15cm) tall at most, or is going to be halftone printed. 1910-1950 is kind of a nadir of photography, so I'd say the second, especially, is decent for the era.
