Commons:秀逸な画像の推薦 - Wikimedia Commons

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。

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。

• 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。

•  Oppose A deserved 1st prize winner at WLE, no doubt about its striking composition and visual impact. However, at full resolution the technical quality falls short of FP standards. Visible compression artifacts and loss of fine detail are apparent, particularly given the high resolution (~42 MP) combined with a small file size. The technical execution does not match the image's otherwise exceptional quality. Sorry. -- Radomianin (talk) 05:58, 23 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]
•  Comment @Radomianin It won 1st place, it could won, since jury is more watching thumbs than true size. So this is what i say "good in thumb - bad in full" or other way around. I could agree with technical, as i see, wide zoom is used, going into fisheye specter. Doing shot on 14 mm (@FF), f/13, 1/100s and ISO 2000 is not good choice. Or ideal. I see Exposure Program was Manual. So mistake probably. Due to humidity i dont think he could capture objects sharp far from camera. --Mile (talk) 09:11, 23 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

  EDIT: I extracted the cropped section from the sharpest image in the batch at this stage and sent it through Google AI, and it also suggests that it’s probably not a tick. It could be, for example, a pollen beetle (such as Meligethes aeneus) or a "bacon beetle", or possibly a "dwarf orb-weaver spider" (family: Theridiidae). The flower had a diameter of about 2 cm; given the shooting distance, the magnification was likely about 1:1.5 to 1:2, and the insect probably had a body length of maybe 1 mm. --Achim Lammerts • Syntaxys (talk) 05:22, 24 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

  @PetarM, this subject is really a challenge—both during the shoot (due to the wind) and in post-processing because of the strong halos caused by focus breathing.

Have you tried increasing whites just on the background, to avoid clipping the wind towers and blades? --Julesvernex2 (talk) 09:58, 23 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]
•  Oppose Nothing featurable here imo, sorry. TheBritinator (talk) 13:35, 23 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]
•  Comment Thank you very much for your suggestions, @Julesvernex2. I’ve already tried a few things in that direction, but the rotating wind turbines are almost impossible to mask. Right now, I don’t feel like working on the photo any further, and with the nice weather, I’d rather spend my time on botanical topics.
  I took and nominated this photo because I find it funny and think it’s a nice change of pace from the usual topics here. It may not appeal to everyone, and some might even find it boring. That’s fine with me — at least those are honest opinions.
  What I can’t get behind, however, are comments like “too much empty space” or “the gray clouds don’t help much”. Frankly, I consider that an unqualified statement you’d expect from a layperson. Maybe it’s just a translation error.
  Here, wind turbines several dozen meters high are photographed from the ground, and I think I’ve managed the composition quite well. What would you expect as a background with this POV? Some kind of aircraft on approach? A murmuration of birds? At any rate, the low-pressure system that had built up from the west fits very well into the image’s narrative.
  I’m leaving the nomination up anyway and would appreciate feedback that goes beyond mere grumbling or snide remarks. Thanks! --Achim Lammerts • Syntaxys (talk) 07:39, 24 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]
• Weak  Support. Clouds and sky are fine. I find the center composition not the best. Did you try to use the rule of third? --Yann (talk) 09:22, 24 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

  Thank you very much, Yann. I usually compose my images based on the “golden ratio” or the Fibonacci sequence (as far as possible). That didn't quite work out here due to the dimensions of the subject. Right a bit less and therefore left a bit more space would have been better, sure. Cropping to a 4:3 or 5:4 aspect ratio doesn't really offer any advantages, so I left it as is, leaving the final decision up to the end user. Achim Lammerts • Syntaxys (talk) 03:16, 25 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

•  Oppose You need more time to get blades around and around. At day, this must be more than some 15 stops, i think. Colors could be more vivid or enlightened. --Mile (talk) 10:07, 24 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

  I also took some shots of this subject with much longer exposure times, but I discarded them because I didn’t want the rotor blades to appear as circles. A full rotation would have taken about 20–30 seconds, which I wouldn’t have been able to manage at all in daylight. Have you ever tried that in practice, or is it just theory? What’s your experience with variable ND filters and the sensors and light meters in modern cameras? 😉 Achim Lammerts • Syntaxys (talk) 03:32, 25 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

•  Info Kronborg Castle with its surrounding moats and defensive ramparts. The castle is one of Northern Europe’s most impressive Renaissance castles and famously serves as the setting for Shakespeare’s drama Hamlet. Located just six kilometers from Denmark’s historic archenemy Sweden, across the Öresund strait, Kronborg has always been heavily fortified and remained an active military base well into the 20th century. Somewhat surprisingly, we still have no FPs of this remarkable world heritage site.

•  Comment There are several reasons for the composition, the ramparts are very close to the castle and the area closest to the castle (inside the innermost moat) is also not accessible. So there is no way to get a picture of the castle without some part being obscured. The second reason is that the castle is not just a castle; it is also a military fortress that controlled the entrance to the Sound and the Baltic Sea for centuries. So the walls and moats are very much part of the historical value, integrity and authenticity of the site.--ArildV (talk) 10:36, 24 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

•  Info created by NASA – uploaded by OptimusPrimeBot – nominated by Señor Aluminio -- Alu (talk) 22:06, 19 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]
•  Support Image of high encyclopedic and symbolic value, documenting a representative moment of contemporary space exploration. The composition, based on the contrast between the astronaut’s silhouette and the Earth, clearly illustrates the relationship between humanity and its planet from space. It is particularly notable for depicting the first woman to travel toward the Moon, adding historical and social significance. Although the resolution is limited, as it was captured with a mobile device, this aspect reinforces its character as a testimony of our time. Its strong visual impact and wide international media circulation have made it one of the iconic images of the mission, fulfilling the criteria of value and relevance required. -- Alu (talk) 22:06, 19 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

•  Oppose Stunning capture of a truly unique moment, but sadly poor technical quality, likely from image compression and automated in-phone image "optimization". --Aciarium ⚒ (talk) 16:08, 20 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]
•  Support The resolution may be low, but the photograph is very special: deeply human, caring, and maybe even humane, with a dynamic, multi-layered composition reinforcing the depth. It’s quite low-key and might benefit from a slight shadow reveal and a very slight overall exposure boost, if the original raw file is available, but that’s up to the author to decide. --Argenberg (talk) 17:44, 20 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

  It appears that the trailing is from the deck pitching, which is very difficult to escape with long exposure photography in this setting. I know it's not the only issue -- just leaving it here for future reference if a similar photo is nominated. —brainandforce [yap] 15:42, 22 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

•  Oppose Per Aciarium, the scene looks cool but its way too noisy. TheBritinator (talk) 12:31, 19 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]
•  Support Lovely composition, beautiful shapes and colours, atmospheric. Not at all bothered by the "noise". Not every photograph needs to be impeccably detailed, and the "noise" in this photo gives it an impressionistic touch as well as arguably enhancing the journalistic aspect. Not to mention that the chances of getting a better quality image under such challenging conditions are minimal. Gatoclass (talk) 17:08, 22 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

•  Comment @Radomianin It won 1st place, it could won, since jury is more watching thumbs than true size. So this is what i say "good in thumb - bad in full" or other way around. I could agree with technical, as i see, wide zoom is used, going into fisheye specter. Doing shot on 14 mm (@FF), f/13, 1/100s and ISO 2000 is not good choice. Or ideal.

  EDIT: I extracted the cropped section from the sharpest image in the batch at this stage and sent it through Google AI, and it also suggests that it’s probably not a tick. It could be, for example, a pollen beetle (such as Meligethes aeneus) or a "bacon beetle", or possibly a "dwarf orb-weaver spider" (family: Theridiidae). The flower had a diameter of about 2 cm; given the shooting distance, the magnification was likely about 1:1.5 to 1:2, and the insect probably had a body length of maybe 1 mm. --Achim Lammerts • Syntaxys (talk) 05:22, 24 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

•  Comment I love the idea (a stopped turbine with moving ones in the background, great use case for an ND filter) and the composition (for me, the negative space works well), but agree with Basile about the grey clouds. Have you tried increasing whites just on the background, to avoid clipping the wind towers and blades? --Julesvernex2 (talk) 09:58, 23 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]
•  Oppose Nothing featurable here imo, sorry. TheBritinator (talk) 13:35, 23 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]
•  Comment Thank you very much for your suggestions, @Julesvernex2. I’ve already tried a few things in that direction, but the rotating wind turbines are almost impossible to mask. Right now, I don’t feel like working on the photo any further, and with the nice weather, I’d rather spend my time on botanical topics.
  I took and nominated this photo because I find it funny and think it’s a nice change of pace from the usual topics here. It may not appeal to everyone, and some might even find it boring. That’s fine with me — at least those are honest opinions.
  What I can’t get behind, however, are comments like “too much empty space” or “the gray clouds don’t help much”. Frankly, I consider that an unqualified statement you’d expect from a layperson. Maybe it’s just a translation error.
  Here, wind turbines several dozen meters high are photographed from the ground, and I think I’ve managed the composition quite well. What would you expect as a background with this POV? Some kind of aircraft on approach? A murmuration of birds? At any rate, the low-pressure system that had built up from the west fits very well into the image’s narrative.
  I’m leaving the nomination up anyway and would appreciate feedback that goes beyond mere grumbling or snide remarks. Thanks! --Achim Lammerts • Syntaxys (talk) 07:39, 24 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]
• Weak  Support. Clouds and sky are fine. I find the center composition not the best. Did you try to use the rule of third? --Yann (talk) 09:22, 24 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

  Thank you very much, Yann. I usually compose my images based on the “golden ratio” or the Fibonacci sequence (as far as possible). That didn't quite work out here due to the dimensions of the subject. Right a bit less and therefore left a bit more space would have been better, sure. Cropping to a 4:3 or 5:4 aspect ratio doesn't really offer any advantages, so I left it as is, leaving the final decision up to the end user. Achim Lammerts • Syntaxys (talk) 03:16, 25 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

•  Oppose You need more time to get blades around and around. At day, this must be more than some 15 stops, i think. Colors could be more vivid or enlightened. --Mile (talk) 10:07, 24 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

  I also took some shots of this subject with much longer exposure times, but I discarded them because I didn’t want the rotor blades to appear as circles. A full rotation would have taken about 20–30 seconds, which I wouldn’t have been able to manage at all in daylight. Have you ever tried that in practice, or is it just theory? What’s your experience with variable ND filters and the sensors and light meters in modern cameras? 😉 Achim Lammerts • Syntaxys (talk) 03:32, 25 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

•  Oppose @ArildV F-number f/9; bricks are fine, but i more focus on Fort, they lean too. --Mile (talk) 10:10, 24 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]
•  Comment There are several reasons for the composition, the ramparts are very close to the castle and the area closest to the castle (inside the innermost moat) is also not accessible. So there is no way to get a picture of the castle without some part being obscured. The second reason is that the castle is not just a castle; it is also a military fortress that controlled the entrance to the Sound and the Baltic Sea for centuries. So the walls and moats are very much part of the historical value, integrity and authenticity of the site.--ArildV (talk) 10:36, 24 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

•  Info created by NASA – uploaded by OptimusPrimeBot – nominated by Señor Aluminio -- Alu (talk) 22:06, 19 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]
•  Support Image of high encyclopedic and symbolic value, documenting a representative moment of contemporary space exploration. The composition, based on the contrast between the astronaut’s silhouette and the Earth, clearly illustrates the relationship between humanity and its planet from space. It is particularly notable for depicting the first woman to travel toward the Moon, adding historical and social significance. Although the resolution is limited, as it was captured with a mobile device, this aspect reinforces its character as a testimony of our time. Its strong visual impact and wide international media circulation have made it one of the iconic images of the mission, fulfilling the criteria of value and relevance required. -- Alu (talk) 22:06, 19 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

•  Support Lovely composition, beautiful shapes and colours, atmospheric. Not at all bothered by the "noise". Not every photograph needs to be impeccably detailed, and the "noise" in this photo gives it an impressionistic touch as well as arguably enhancing the journalistic aspect. Not to mention that the chances of getting a better quality image under such challenging conditions are minimal. Gatoclass (talk) 17:08, 22 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

•  Oppose No reason to increase size (last version with "More MB (size)"). The original from flickR is not a RAW, thus the quality is certainly optimum at the beginning. -- Basile Morin (talk) 01:54, 17 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

  I just increased the size since 1,54 MB is too low. Quality is the same as the initial version (no artifacts). ★ 03:49, 17 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

The quality is lower now and your version is worse -- Basile Morin (talk) 03:59, 17 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Increasing size for the sake of increasing size is meaningless. If anything, I'd hope to have the file size of my images as low as possible while preserving the quality for the sake of accessibility. TheBritinator (talk) 07:10, 17 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Only one word for description, are you mocking us? -- Basile Morin (talk) 02:09, 18 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

The word refers to Karamoja, the region where probably the photo was taken. PS: My question was not answered. ★ 04:22, 18 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

• OK, reverted my oppose. Still Arion, you are constantly violating the community decision regarding your participation to FPC. You should find another hobby before being forced to do so. Yann (talk) 10:50, 18 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

  Don't take your words as a general idea, the community seems OK with me, since the same community continues to support my nominations. ★ 11:14, 18 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

  People are supporting your nominations, not necessarily your actions. For at least a few here it would seem that your unnecessary changes being reverted is what it took. TheBritinator (talk) 17:31, 18 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

  He said explicitly "participation", which involves the act of nominating. ★ 20:26, 18 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

  You were expected to stay away from FPC if you were unblocked. Yann (talk) 08:03, 19 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

  I'm sorry for not meeting your expectations. ★ 02:40, 21 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]
