- Oppose Not the best zoo image of a head. May have been promoted at Commons because it was incorrectly classified as a Rhea. Wilfredo can you move it on the Commons FP page please. Charlesjsharp (talk) 14:38, 26 April 2026 (UTC)
- Weak Support. Competent but unremarkable headshot. Good if you want to see the business end of an ostrich up close. It would be nice to see more of the bird, but I get that this is the tradeoff you make for macro shots of large animals. – Moonreach (talk) 18:01, 26 April 2026 (UTC)
- Support as author Thanks MER-C for the nomination of the Common ostrich. I think the photo has nice bokeh and was taken very close to the bird, at head level. Because of the bird’s height, it is difficult to take a photo from that angle; most photos are taken from below. That is why I think this image is special. Regarding Charles’s comment, the title and description of the photo said “Common Ostrich,” as did the image category. I do not think this was such an important factor in the nomination on Commons, but I appreciate his mention of it. Wilfredor (talk) 17:41, 30 April 2026 (UTC)

- Oppose - This is not FP technical quality. Charlesjsharp (talk) 19:14, 2 May 2026 (UTC)
- @Charlesjsharp I updated the image with lower noise without overly compromising the quality, and I tried and failed to display the replacement here with the original (I'm still very much new as to how these nominations work). Is there anything else about this image you think needs to be adjusted? Someone who likes train writing (talk) 01:10, 3 May 2026 (UTC)
- Unfortunately, I don't think you need to look further than the number of the front of the engine. It is blurred and has a red halo. There is little chance a photo taken from a colour slide would achieve FP unless it was a really historic image. Your Rebel camera is also a limiting factor.

- Question: Is there a reason why the ties in the photograph are stacked disproportionately toward the right side? I see no switch line in the photograph, but it almost looks like there is or was one there at one time, given how the railroad ties suddenly seem to jut out. TomStar81 (Talk) 09:19, 4 May 2026 (UTC)
- @TomStar81 I wish I knew, I only acquired this slide on EBay with very limited context from the seller. If I had to guess, though, a switch very well could have been right there, but it had been ripped up, as the Chicago and North Western was putting various lines up for abandonment throughout the 1970s and 80s.

- Reason
- The image is 2,250 × 1,342 which is a little below minimum, but it is a historically significant (and imo artistically brilliant) painting. It depicts Ganga Singh receiving the Order of the Star of India from King George V. Singh was an incredibly important historical figure, and the investiture represents the might of the British Empire merely 3 years before the beginning of WWI would start its decline. It is also a brilliant demonstration of Jacomb-Hood's artistry.

- EV. Obviously low quality, but this is literally the only footage of the Pentagon attack on 9/11. The original source from 2006 (HistoryCommons.org) is no longer active, so Wikimedia Commons would now appear to be the primary online source for this video. However I don't think that depreciates its verifiability.

- Support – for EV value, even though the plane is only in a few frames, this is one of the only views of the Pentagon on 9/11 that we have. Wish the video went longer so we could start to see first aid response EMS and other first responders, but it is what it is. Northern-Virginia-Photographer (talk) 11:19, 4 May 2026 (UTC)
- Oppose. I've always kind of felt the Featured Picture resolution limits are arbitrary, and so in general I'm happy to bend them, but there has to be a lower limit somewhere, and for me this is below it. The video's resolution and frame rate are so low that I honestly don't think it adds any genuine encyclopedic value. To me, "EV" has always meant "this piece of media tells you something a block of text can't," and this video is so blurry and so choppy that I don't think it tells the viewer anything. I do agree that it's interesting that we have this at all, but I don't see any value besides that "huh" factor. – Moonreach (talk) 15:45, 4 May 2026 (UTC)
- Oppose I have to agree with Moonreach. Despite the incredibly high significance of what this footage covers, the quality is so poor that it does not provide a high degree of EV. Nick-D (talk) 08:34, 7 May 2026 (UTC)

Original – Salar de Uyuni, the world's largest salt flat, in the dry (top) and wet seasons.
- Reason
- Salar de Uyuni, the world's largest salt flat, turns out to be one of the most photogenic and surreal places on Earth. During the dry season, the flat is a wasteland made of white hexagons; during the wet season, it forms a shallow layer of brine that serves as an enormous mirror. We already have a featured picture from this location (reproduced below), and I propose to add three more, the third of which (the Toyota Land Cruiser) is already a featured picture on Commons. The article itself is filled with many more incredible photos, although sadly they are below the resolution cutoffs on one or both axes.

- Is it a rule that the same person/organization needs to make all the images? I didn't see it anywhere. In terms of subject matter, I think these are a set. Moonreach (talk) 13:38, 5 May 2026 (UTC)

- Oppose For EV should feature in Church of Saint Sava article, but daytime images of the church and/or monument have more EV. Nothing wrong with the image from an artistic perspective, just EV. Charlesjsharp (talk) 10:26, 8 May 2026 (UTC)
- Oppose: I think the framing detracts from the EV of the image here. The church is only in one half and the shadows on the base of the statue and below are a bit awkward too, as is the glare/reflection of the lights. I do like the concept though and it would have high artistic value in daytime. JacobTheRox(talk | contributions) 20:30, 9 May 2026 (UTC)

- Reason
- I think this is a very historically important and beautiful painting. It depicts a broad-gauge GWR train crossing the Maidenhead Railway Bridge. Brunel's design of the bridge was deemed impossible and after structural defects was left with scaffolding on it, a seemingly humiliating defeat for him. However, the scaffolding was in fact unnecessary, and one night it blew away in a storm, revealing the "impossible" bridge flawlessly executed behind it. J. M. W. Turner, known for his beautiful but almost violent watercolour paintings, depicts the balance and contrast between the engineering marvel and industrial powerhouse of the Great Western Railway and its powerful broad gauge locomotives against the beauty of the bridge and this section of the River Thames. The picture was nominated for FP in October 2012, and while people were supportive, there were colouring issues. I personally have no preference as to which of the various files are used, but the one I have selected here is the finest in my opinion in colour and quality. A photo of the paintng in its frame may also be helpful in this respect. I also think that the two currently-used images should have one chosen for usage on enwikipedia for consistency.

- Oppose Main reason: the direction of the train(s) is not clear in the picture. There are commuter trains whose fronts look just like their backs. Worse, these trains look right-sided to me! Secondary reason: I don't see anything notable about the picture itself. It may illustrate the article well, but the picture doesn't seem special. Minor complaint: The caption is wrong; right and left are reversed. - Zaslav (talk) 23:29, 9 May 2026 (UTC)
- In the UK at least, white lights mean front and red lights mean back on both cars and trains. As you can see, the train is heading towards the photographer because its lights are white. If you look at the electrification above, you can see that there is one space to the left of where this train is. Therefore, we know that it is on the second track along. Now this doesn't necessarily mean that it's left-hand running (see Quadruple-track railway#Layouts). It is only necessarily left-hand running if the track is quadrupled by speed.

Weak oppose— The composition is good but the harsh shadows detract from the presentation. Moonreach (talk) 14:34, 13 May 2026 (UTC)- Hi Moonreach, I have lightened the shadows. Do keep in mind that, due to the site's location at an intersection, the street lamp and its shadow cannot be avoided when photographing the front facade. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 15:24, 13 May 2026 (UTC)
- I'll be honest, it looks almost exactly the same on my monitor. Checking the old versions for comparison, I also noticed that you removed some shirts from the original version of the photo. I've had enough conversations with photographers to know these things are subjective, but to me, that's excessive digital manipulation. It changes the contents of the photo, rather than correcting flaws (like scratch removal) or tuning existing photographic properties (like shadow reduction). Also, was it done automatically by software? There are places that I can see through the pickets in the original but can't on the edited version. I oppose. Moonreach (talk) 19:20, 13 May 2026 (UTC)
- The shirts had copyrighted designs on them, which ideally should have been removed (they were de minimis, but still). That is entirely within policy, and documented; I could be like other photographers and not document that at all. As for the shadows, you do have to refresh your cache. The shadows were increased by a universal 25 and exposure by 0.4 on the street light and traffic sign shadows. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 19:43, 13 May 2026 (UTC)

- Oppose — In addition to being unsharp, there's also significant compression, verging on macroblocking. The color balance wobbles between green and purple, and highlights are blown. Moonreach (talk) 15:14, 27 May 2026 (UTC)
