Support - I like how the illumination of some of the grapes allows the viewer to see both the inside and outside in the same photo. GuavaTrain (talk) 13:20, 29 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - Awkward angle, too much void space detracting from the subject matter, and not an interesting photo in my opinion. GuavaTrain (talk) 16:20, 27 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Original – Sunlight shines through the open sections of deck and illuminates the haze inside the empty tank of a liquid asphalt barge having its deck plates replaced.
Reason
High resolution and rare scene with EV. Most barge photos I see on Wikipedia are of the exterior.

Original – American singer and violinist Brittney Parks, better known by her stage name Sudan Archives performing at Treefort Music Festival in Boise, Idaho in 2019.
Reason
High Resolution, good EV, captures all important parts in the frame (her face, her violin, position of her hands, and her microphone which is notable because she is a singer/violinist).
Oppose It's not essential at all, but you might find it helpful to nominate images that have passed FP at Commons. This image has technical shortcomings and the hand holding the bow is blurred (1/250 sec, no flash). Charlesjsharp (talk) 21:28, 29 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Original – Cepelinai with ground meat cut open. Cepelinai or didžkukuliai are dumplings made from grated and riced potatoes and stuffed with ground meat or dry curd cheese or mushrooms. It has been described as a national dish of Lithuania.
Having once lived in Lithuania, this user can attest to the, er, unique qualities of cepelinai. Iki! – Sca (talk) 13:34, 30 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose A food picture needs to be very professionally lit and executed to make your mouth water. This one doesn't... The non-cut-open alt. is marginally better, but not much. --Janke | Talk19:25, 30 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose The outside of the cut cepelinas is blurry compared to the inside of it. Tasty subject matter though! I was coincidentally looking for a high res picture of saltibarsciai to consider nominating the other day, but didn't find any good ones. GuavaTrain (talk) 13:35, 31 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - This doesn't strike me as a good composition. Blank wall and boring bits of foliage in the foreground, nothing special in the background. In fact there's a much better photo in the gallery on the Moon gate article (Moon_Gate.jpg - poor resolution but a much better composition). ProfDEH (talk) 21:15, 7 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Technically deficient (would be better with less exposure), fringe interest only, also just a stub article (if it's permissible to mention that... ;-) --Janke | Talk12:23, 7 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose – Gimmicky pic. of a gimmicky event of interest to a micro-niche audience. Lacks EV. At 200 words, article is a stub. – Sca (talk) 13:12, 7 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Original – Don't Be a Sucker is a short film produced by the United States Department of War released in 1943. It has anti-racist and anti-fascist themes, and was made to educate viewers about prejudice and discrimination. The film was also made to make the case for the desegregation of the United States armed forces.
Reason
This was one vote away from being promoted so I am giving this a second shot. Same reasoning as before.
Comment Appears to be shot with a fisheye lens, with verticals rectified in editing. Note bending lines of floor tiling - thus, not a true representation of the space. --Janke | Talk15:58, 11 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Comment – I see the bending (or distortion). But I don't see how it can possibly be improved in this particular case. There are many angles, height levels, and depths in this composition. Bammesk (talk) 15:46, 12 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Not an outstanding image with the tree partially obscuring the building. The article is of minor local interest. --Tagooty (talk) 04:03, 14 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Comment – This ballyhooed tank face-off was really just political theater anyway. Little real EV in terms of historical significance. – Sca (talk) 13:00, 10 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Weak oppose – Muddled composition. There is little separation between the butterfly and the flower it sits on, plus the flower is divided into two disjoint parts. It has EV, hence weak oppose. Bammesk (talk) 15:13, 12 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Original – Hakken – a street dance that is made to accompany gabber music.
Reason
A snapshot of mid-90s rave culture. The focus of the picture is the dance, which is more easily seen (not misrepresented) through the extensive editing. High EV: this is the only dance GIF on Wikipedia as far as I know.

Original – In May 2021, water levels of Lake Oroville dropped to 38% of capacity. The boats are dwarfed by the exposed banks while California is headed into another drought year.
Reason
Great encyclopedic value, high quality, Commons FP, interesting and good compo
Comment – I don't see significant EV, in other words I don't see how the photo "helps readers understand an article" (quoted from FP criterion #5). Because the article is weak and says so little about the town. There isn't much to understand. Bammesk (talk) 16:10, 13 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose – The background is distracting, particularly the window next to his head. I disagree with Sca's "eight-year-old" part of the oppose rationale though, because we aren't a news site. Bammesk (talk) 14:34, 13 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose – Vertical perspective seems slightly distorted. Flowering tree at left partly obscures structure, and also obscures unidentified female pedestrian. Cloudy sky not ideal. – Sca (talk) 12:52, 13 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Original – A dial indicator, used for precision manufacturing. The depicted indicator has a sensitivity of 10 micron (micro meter), and a range of 10 mm (1 mm per revolution).
Reason
High quality lead image of its article. A dial indicator is used for precision manufacturing. The measuring sensitivity of this instrument is 0.01 mm (0.0004 inch). It has been a while since we had a technology FP.
Oppose I own four similar indicators (for use in my live steam hobby), and they are all-metal. This one looks to have a shell and shaft of transparent plastic - which it most probably hasn't. I guess it's an issue with the studio lighting and reflections in the metal, thus a bit misleading. Compare with this one [[1]], where the lighting is such that the shaft is clearly seen to be of metal. I've never seen one with transparent parts... ;-) --Janke | Talk20:14, 13 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
It definitely doesn't have a plastic or transparent shell/shaft. There is no such thing :-) The shaft is entirely steel, and polished, it's highly reflective. That's where the bright white comes from. One can call the lighting over-exposed, but definitely not plastic! Another image: [2] for reference. Bammesk (talk) 02:06, 14 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Exactly. I oppose because it looks transparent, even though it isn't. Thus, the picture gives an incorrect impression. --Janke | Talk10:02, 14 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
You implied that it could 'probably' be plastic by writing: "plastic - which it most probably hasn't". I had to address that 'probability', I wasn't questioning your vote. Cheers. Bammesk (talk) 03:13, 15 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
You're right -- there's an abrupt cutoff between the two shades of blue. What's going on there, and can it be repaired? jp×g02:09, 18 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
High quality large image. FP on Commons. Adds value to article as image shows spur on wing that can only be seen in flight. Had 3 support votes last time and since reworked.
Oppose – In the article, one of 21 pics. of the F-15 – a plane that's been around for 30+ years – and the last one at that. Lacks EV. – Sca (talk) 12:37, 17 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Support High quality photo which clearly illustrates this type. @Sca: This is a brand-new variant of the F-15 that began flight testing a few months ago and is expected to be produced in large numbers, so the photo actually has lots of EV. Please note that it depicts the first aircraft of this variant during this initial flight testing. Nick-D (talk) 06:25, 20 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Original – Gateway Generating Station, a combined-cycle natural gas-fired power station in Antioch, California constructed in 2009.
Rectified version
Reason
I've never nominated an image here before, but the idea has interested me for a while, so I'll see how this goes. I think this is a good picture. It's in clear focus, it shows the whole plant, there is nothing else to distract from it, and as far as I know it's the highest-resolution photograph of this thing that exists anywhere in the world. I am not sure what category it belongs in -- this one has a similar photo of an oil rig, this one has a photo of a hydroelectric plant, and this one has a steel mill and telescope array.
Took a stab at it, Support rectified version only, despite slight unsharpness at right (was in the original). I also fixed rather strong CA. --Janke | Talk13:45, 16 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
This version looks much better, and if it helps to work with the original version prior to my lens corrections, I can link that as well. (What is the protocol for if I think your edit is good? Should I just upload it over my version, or should you upload it over my version, or what?) jp×g16:28, 16 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
An even better starting point would be the original camera file, as a separate upload, not over the candidate. --Janke | Talk17:35, 16 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I appreciate you fixing the distortion and the chromatic aberration, by the way. I have gotten some new lenses (and developed my skills significantly) since I took this, so hopefully the next one will be much better in its technical aspects :^) jp×g09:49, 26 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Exteremely high EV, good resolution and good quality for this kind of photo, VI in Commons. This may be the first color photograph ever taken in Russia.
Oppose - Unfortunately, this is a scan from a printed source - the print raster screen shows, causes moirés in reduced sizes, and the image appears a little washed out. --Janke | Talk15:05, 17 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose – OK as a historical artifact and for illustrating relevant text, but subpar technically for an FP. – Sca (talk) 21:52, 17 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Original – Photographic reproduction of a June 1928 issue of Popular Aviation magazine.
Reason
High quality photographic reproduction of the magazine. Valuable in identifying the magazine, a part of Ziff Davis' history. Public domain in the United States.
Support – high EV: only very few synagogues of this kind have been preserved even partly, so this reconstruction is very informative and the photo shows it very well. --Aristeas (talk) 09:26, 18 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
