Commons:秀逸な画像の推薦
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。
概要
[edit]推薦にあたって
[edit]推薦者のためのガイドライン
[edit]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。
- 形状とは主題に対する輪郭線、及び形状を言います。
- 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 (formerly FPX) Image does not fall within the guidelines, Poor quality, low educational value. Yann (talk) 18:32, 7 February 2025 (UTC)
- Yann, guidelines for quality list 2 mp while here its 5 (if I do the math correctly). The "educational" part is also neither objective, nor based on guidelines. We have photos of white walls featured here. --EUPBR (talk) 18:42, 7 February 2025 (UTC)
- Please read the guidelines about FP, and you should nominate it to Quality Pictures before. This is not even a QI. Yann (talk) 19:24, 7 February 2025 (UTC)
Support Sorry but I fail to see what's so wrong with this that it deserves to be FPX'd. Re. educational value: photograph of a well known film director by a well known German portrait photographer who is sufficiently notable to have an English wikipedia article. Re. poor quality: resolution is not huge but it is adequate for FP (5.7 megapixels). Good sharpness at full size, even the individual hairs on Mr von Trier's beard are visible. I don't really like the choice to cut it out and place it on a white background but that is Herr Mark's artistic choice. I find the optical illusion impressive (I've seen it before but it continues to impress) - and I also appreciate Mark's artistic intention in using a slightly psychedelic, 'trippy' kind of background for a portrait of a director known for his avant-garde, dark, and provocative filmmaking. Overall FP to me. I think this is the first time I've ever contested an FPX but I sincerely think this picture deserves more debate. Cmao20 (talk) 22:48, 7 February 2025 (UTC)

Info Anna's magnificent sea slugs (Chromodoris annae), Anilao, Philippines. This species of nudibranch is found in the central area of the Indo-Pacific region and can reach depths of between 15–30 metres (49–98 ft). It can reach a maximum size of 5 centimetres (2.0 in) length. Its diet consists only of Petrosaspongia sp., a group of sponge, due to its noxious chemical composition. It's able to absorb this compound and store it in glands that stretch around the mantle. These stored chemicals are unpleasant to some surrounding fish, allowing Chromodoris annae to avoid predation. Note: we have no FPs of this species. c/u/n by Poco a poco (talk) 19:09, 6 February 2025 (UTC)

Info That's a fascimile of his signature, which seemed sufficient reason to include it, since the photo is primarily used on pages about him. We could do a cropped version, I suppose, but generally we promote the least cropped version. Adam Cuerden (talk) 14:55, 6 February 2025 (UTC)
- Since I know that if I don't do it, there's every chance someone else is going to, and possibly upload over, I've uploaded a cropped version as well. I don't think the crop is as useful for most uses: This is a self-portrait, after all, so the frame is Bogardus's creation, or at least artistic decision - but I think it's often better to not leave it to others to make.

Comment Hem, a small part of the background right over her head is looking strange, like retouched. This could be a hint that the background or a part of it has been exchanged, contributing to the artificial look mentioned by Kritzolina. – Aristeas (talk) 20:37, 4 February 2025 (UTC)
- Sorry, I have to correct myself. When we compare other photos from the same event which show indentical background colours (e.g. 1, 2), it seems the photographer has just removed the black border between the colours because here it appeared right behind Sweeney’s head which was certainly irritating. So the background is mostly authentic. I guess it’s the almost symmetric arrangement and the front-heavy lighting which give the artificial impression. It’s the same with similar portraits from the same event (e.g.), while the more casual shots (e.g.) look natural. – Aristeas (talk) 21:00, 4 February 2025 (UTC)
Weak oppose Quality is good but when I compare it to this recent nomination, the other picture, while also obviously in a glamorous publicity setting, feels more candid and spontaneous. This one feels staged and artificial by comparison. So, mainly agree with Kritzolina. Cmao20 (talk) 00:48, 5 February 2025 (UTC)

Info The Triangle of Everything is a log-log chart of everything that has existed since the Big Bang or could ever have existed. All existing objects are bound by three lines: the Compton Limit, the Schwarzschild radius, and the Hubble radius. The vertices are the Big Bang on the right, the Observable universe on the top left, and the heat death of the universe / true vacuum / zero-point energy universe on the bottom left.

Question Are these flashy sportswear pieces part of the artist's original work? It's possible but I tried to find some information about this sculptor on Google, and didn't find much other than this and this, where no evidence is given that this artist dresses his works of art. As here for the sculpture Het Lieverdje by Carel Kneulman in Amsterdam, compared to the original. -- Basile Morin (talk) 03:46, 4 February 2025 (UTC)
- Answer: I assume so, it certainly looked authentic. It never occurred to me that it wasn't meant to be that way. If this had been an inappropriate joke, I think the clothes would have been removed long ago because the artworks were viewed regularly. I also scanned the information on the sculpture with my phone and you also saw photos of a dressed boy.--Agnes Monkelbaan (talk) 06:29, 4 February 2025 (UTC)

- Please read the guidelines about FP, and you should nominate it to Quality Pictures before. This is not even a QI. Yann (talk) 19:24, 7 February 2025 (UTC)
Support Sorry but I fail to see what's so wrong with this that it deserves to be FPX'd. Re. educational value: photograph of a well known film director by a well known German portrait photographer who is sufficiently notable to have an English wikipedia article. Re. poor quality: resolution is not huge but it is adequate for FP (5.7 megapixels). Good sharpness at full size, even the individual hairs on Mr von Trier's beard are visible. I don't really like the choice to cut it out and place it on a white background but that is Herr Mark's artistic choice. I find the optical illusion impressive (I've seen it before but it continues to impress) - and I also appreciate Mark's artistic intention in using a slightly psychedelic, 'trippy' kind of background for a portrait of a director known for his avant-garde, dark, and provocative filmmaking. Overall FP to me. I think this is the first time I've ever contested an FPX but I sincerely think this picture deserves more debate. Cmao20 (talk) 22:48, 7 February 2025 (UTC)

Info Anna's magnificent sea slugs (Chromodoris annae), Anilao, Philippines. This species of nudibranch is found in the central area of the Indo-Pacific region and can reach depths of between 15–30 metres (49–98 ft). It can reach a maximum size of 5 centimetres (2.0 in) length. Its diet consists only of Petrosaspongia sp., a group of sponge, due to its noxious chemical composition. It's able to absorb this compound and store it in glands that stretch around the mantle. These stored chemicals are unpleasant to some surrounding fish, allowing Chromodoris annae to avoid predation. Note: we have no FPs of this species. c/u/n by Poco a poco (talk) 19:09, 6 February 2025 (UTC)

- Since I know that if I don't do it, there's every chance someone else is going to, and possibly upload over, I've uploaded a cropped version as well. I don't think the crop is as useful for most uses: This is a self-portrait, after all, so the frame is Bogardus's creation, or at least artistic decision - but I think it's often better to not leave it to others to make.

Oppose completely artificial looking, not appealing in any way --Kritzolina (talk) 19:32, 4 February 2025 (UTC)
Comment Hem, a small part of the background right over her head is looking strange, like retouched. This could be a hint that the background or a part of it has been exchanged, contributing to the artificial look mentioned by Kritzolina. – Aristeas (talk) 20:37, 4 February 2025 (UTC)
- Sorry, I have to correct myself. When we compare other photos from the same event which show indentical background colours (e.g. 1, 2), it seems the photographer has just removed the black border between the colours because here it appeared right behind Sweeney’s head which was certainly irritating. So the background is mostly authentic. I guess it’s the almost symmetric arrangement and the front-heavy lighting which give the artificial impression. It’s the same with similar portraits from the same event (e.g.), while the more casual shots (e.g.) look natural. – Aristeas (talk) 21:00, 4 February 2025 (UTC)
Weak oppose Quality is good but when I compare it to this recent nomination, the other picture, while also obviously in a glamorous publicity setting, feels more candid and spontaneous. This one feels staged and artificial by comparison. So, mainly agree with Kritzolina. Cmao20 (talk) 00:48, 5 February 2025 (UTC)

Question Are these flashy sportswear pieces part of the artist's original work? It's possible but I tried to find some information about this sculptor on Google, and didn't find much other than this and this, where no evidence is given that this artist dresses his works of art. As here for the sculpture Het Lieverdje by Carel Kneulman in Amsterdam, compared to the original. -- Basile Morin (talk) 03:46, 4 February 2025 (UTC)
- Answer: I assume so, it certainly looked authentic. It never occurred to me that it wasn't meant to be that way. If this had been an inappropriate joke, I think the clothes would have been removed long ago because the artworks were viewed regularly. I also scanned the information on the sculpture with my phone and you also saw photos of a dressed boy.--Agnes Monkelbaan (talk) 06:29, 4 February 2025 (UTC)

Support Very beautiful and poetic. We are a little bit spoilt by the wonderful focus-stacked images of flowers, but IMHO there is still room for classic one-shot photographs like this one. It’s sharp where it matters, and the soft transition from sharp to unsharp gives it a delicate quality which is very appropriate for this subject and which I sometimes miss in the focus-stacked images. – Aristeas (talk) 14:33, 4 February 2025 (UTC)
