Welcome to the Photography critiques!

Would you like a second opinion before nominating a photograph of yours as a Quality Image, Valued Image or Featured Picture candidate, can't decide which of your images to enter into one of the Photo Challenges? Or do you have specific questions about how to improve your photography or just would like some general feedback?

This is the right page to gather other people's opinions!

If you want general suggestions to a good photo, you can ask here, and we already wrote guidelines.

See image guidelines >>

If you don't get some terminology used here, don't be shy you can ask about it, or read

See photography terms >>

Please insert new entries at the bottom, and comment on oldest entries first.

To prevent archiving use {{subst:DNAU}}, because SpBot archives all sections after 90 days, unless archiving has been postponed or suppressed through the use of {{subst:DNAU}}. You can ask the bot to archive a section earlier by using {{Section resolved|1=~~~~}} – then it will be archived after 7 days.

Color balance

Hi, What do you think about the color balance of this picture? The first seems too cold, and the second looks weird, or is it me? From the description, this is the place. Yann (talk) 17:30, 20 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comment The second looks weird because there's a red tint. The shadows, which should be black or a neutral grey, are now dark red. However, the second image of course has the advantage of having all the dust and stuff removed. Perhaps the red tint could be corrected digitally? dllu (talk) 04:23, 6 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@dllu: Thanks for your message. Is it better like this, or should I do more? Yann (talk) 20:43, 8 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Finally, I reverted the color change. It looks too blue now. I can't find how to get a proper color balance. Any idea? Yann (talk) 14:31, 9 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Photo des Tages 08.04.2025

Bei der Beschreibung des Photos ist in der Beschreibung ein Rechtschreibfehler . . . es muss "aalartig" heißen, nicht allartig. tö Pentaclebreaker (talk) 06:23, 8 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Offenbar mittlerweile korrigiert... Seems to be correct now... R. J. Mathar (talk) 11:09, 30 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Art Creation With ChatGPT

As we all know, ghibli art became a hit, but I assume there'll be more art creations like that but just didn't get famous. So anyone knows about that or can share some artistic prompts, pls do. Fgabbyrogers (talk) 13:24, 8 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

File:Pulilan Church 20191027jwilz.jpg

Hello! Is my image of w:en:Pulilan Church suitable for Quality Image or Valued Image? Regards, JWilz12345 (Talk|Contributions) 08:19, 19 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Or, how about this: File:Pulilan Church 20240331-2jwilz.jpg? Regards, JWilz12345 (Talk|Contributions) 08:22, 19 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Why do some images get promoted at QIC but others not?

I understand there's some randomness in the process but if I could better predict which of my nominations will be successful it would make it more efficient. Curious if anyone here cares to weigh in on why the left image passed but the right image did not. If I were reviewing I would if anything have been more likely to promote the blue-sky image. Buidhe (talk) 22:45, 11 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

To be honest, I don't know why the picture on the left got the QI award. Both images lack the image description, both have similar technical flaws, although not really bad ones. Smial (talk) 08:28, 14 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Smial what technical flaws are you seeing? I'd love to know what I could do to improve my photography short of buying a new camera. Buidhe (talk) 21:52, 15 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
