Featured picture candidates Featured picture candidates are images that the community will vote on, to determine whether or not they will be highlighted as some of the finest on Commons. This page lists the candidates to become featured pictures. The picture of the day images are selected from featured pictures. Old candidates for Featured pictures are listed here. There are also chronological lists of featured pictures: 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024 and current month.

Formal thingsNominatingGuidelines for nominatorsPlease read the complete guidelines before nominating. This is a summary of what to look for when submitting and reviewing FP candidates:
Artworks, illustrations, and historical documentsThere are many different types of non-photographic media, including engravings, watercolors, paintings, etchings, and various others. Hence, it is difficult to set hard-and-fast guidelines. However, generally speaking, works can be divided into three types: Those that can be scanned, those that must be photographed, and those specifically created to illustrate a subject. Works that must be photographed include most paintings, sculptures, works too delicate or too unique to allow them to be put on a scanner, and so on. For these, the requirements for photography, below, may be mostly followed; however, it should be noted that photographs which cut off part of the original painting are generally not considered featurable. Works that may be scanned include most works created by processes that allow for mass distribution − for instance, illustrations published with novels. For these, it is generally accepted that a certain amount of extra manipulation is permissible to remove flaws inherent to one copy of the work, since the particular copy – of which hundreds, or even thousands of copies also exist – is not so important as the work itself. Works created to serve a purpose include diagrams, scientific illustrations, and demonstrations of contemporary artistic styles. For these, the main requirement is that they serve their purpose well. Provided the reproduction is of high quality, an artwork generally only needs one of the following four things to be featurable:
Digital restorations must also be well documented. An unedited version of the image should be uploaded locally, when possible, and cross-linked from the file description page. Edit notes should be specified in detail, such as "Rotated and cropped. Dirt, scratches, and stains removed. Histogram adjusted and colors balanced." PhotographsOn the technical side, we have focus, exposure, composition, movement control and depth of field.
On the graphic elements we have shape, volume, color, texture, perspective, balance, proportion, noise, etc.
You will maximise the chances of your nominations succeeding if you read the complete guidelines before nominating. Video and audioPlease nominate videos, sounds, music, etc. at Commons:Featured media candidates. Set nominationsIf a group of images are thematically connected in a direct and obvious way, they can be nominated together as a set. A set should fall under one of the following types:
Simple tutorial for new usersAdding a new nominationIf you believe that you have found or created an image that could be considered valuable, with appropriate image description and licensing, then do the following. Step 1: copy the image name into this box, after the text already present in the box, for example, Commons:Featured picture candidates/File:Your image filename.jpg. Then click on the "create new nomination" button. All single files: For renominations, simply add /2 after the filename. For example, Commons:Featured picture candidates/File:Foo.jpg/2
All set nomination pages should begin "Commons:Featured picture candidates/Set/", e.g. "Commons:Featured picture candidates/Set/My Nomination".
Step 3: manually insert a link to the created page at the top of Commons:Featured picture candidates/candidate list: Click here, and add the following line to the TOP of the nominations list:
Galleries and FP categories: Please add a gallery page and section heading from the list at Commons FP galleries. Write the code as Page name#Section heading. For example: Optional: if you are not the creator of the image, please notify them using Note: Do not add an 'Alternative' image when you create a nomination. Selecting the best image is part of the nomination process. Alternatives are for a different crop or post-processing of the original image, or a closely related image from the same photo session (limited to 1 per nomination), if they are suggested by voters. VotingEditors whose accounts have at least 10 days and 50 edits can vote. Everybody can vote for their own nominations. Anonymous (IP) votes are not allowed. You may use the following templates:
You may indicate that the image has no chance of success with the template {{FPX|reason - ~~~~}}, where reason explains why the image is clearly unacceptable as a FP. The template can only be used when there are no support votes other than the one from the nominator. A well-written review helps participants (photographers, nominators and reviewers) improve their skills by providing insight into the strengths and weaknesses of a picture. Explain your reasoning, especially when opposing a candidate (which has been carefully selected by the author/nominator). English is the most widely understood language on Commons, but any language may be used in your review. A helpful review will often reference one or more of the criteria listed above. Unhelpful reasons for opposing include:
Remember also to put your signature (~~~~). Featured picture delisting candidatesOver time, featured picture standards change. It may be decided that for some pictures which were formerly "good enough", this is no longer the case. This is for listing an image which you believe no longer deserves to be a featured picture. For these, vote:
This can also be used for cases in which a previous version of an image was promoted to FP, but a newer version of the image has been made and is believed to be superior to the old version, e.g. a newly edited version of a photo or a new scan of a historical image. In particular, it is not intended for replacing older photos of a particular subject with newer photos of the same subject, or in any other case where the current FP and the proposed replacement are essentially different images. For these nominations, vote:
If you believe that some picture no longer meets the criteria for FP, you can nominate it for delisting, copying the image name into this box, after the text already present in the box: In the new delisting nomination page just created you should include:
After that, you have to manually insert a link to the created page at the top of Commons:Featured picture candidates/candidate list. As a courtesy, leave an informative note on the talk page(s) of the original creator, uploader(s), and nominator with a link to the delisting candidate. {{subst:FPC-notice-removal}} can be used for this purpose. Featured picture candidate policyGeneral rules
Featuring and delisting rulesA candidate will become a featured picture in compliance with following conditions:
The delisting rules are the same as those for FPs, with voting taking place over the same time period. The rule of the 5th day is applied to delisting candidates that have received no votes to delist, other than that of the proposer, by day 5. The FPCBot handles the vote counting and closing in most cases, current exceptions are candidates containing multiple versions of the image as well as FPXed and withdrawn nominations. Any experienced user may close the requests not handled by the bot. For instructions on how to close nominations, see Commons:Featured picture candidates/What to do after voting is finished. Also note that there is a manual review stage between when the bot has counted the votes and before the nomination is finally closed by the bot; this manual review can be done by any user familiar with the voting rules. Above all, be politePlease don't forget that the image you are judging is somebody's work. Avoid using phrases like "it looks terrible" and "I hate it". If you must oppose, please do so with consideration. Also remember that your command of English might not be the same as someone else's. Choose your words with care. Happy judging… and remember… all rules can be broken. See also

- Support Wow that's very appealing. I like the way the clear and sharp glass structure in the foreground is interacting with the very moody and blurry background. The bird is adding wonderfully to this composition. This image is telling a story about a nice evening at the sea and "Fernweh". --August (talk) 22:59, 7 August 2024 (UTC)
- Support Translucent glass spheres work very well with the contre-jour light. Although out of focus, the bird is nice and adds something to the atmosphere. The bit of bush at the lower left corner is more distracting in my view (because too small to be considered part of the composition).

- Comment Question: how close to original colors did you come with scan with DSLR. The other is you scaned developed film and checked colors with orignal picture ? Seems nice, but i miss more sharp, big aperture didnt help probably-f/2.8. Some (probably) mistake is annoted and one burnt pixel of left seide of cupola. --Mile (talk) 11:01, 7 August 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you for reviewing so detailed. I try to respond step by step:
- Colours: I am always using reference slides with LUT for film digitalization. Here I used a Agfa Precisa CT 100 reference as colour table. So I can rule out any colour shift between slide and this image produced with my DSLR. Of course the film itself was making some shift compared to the real world in the first place. This file is looking very close to what the slide is looking like. And the image is very close to reality. You have to know that this room was built to have that kind of intense low light. I visited the "volcano" several times. And every time I am very impressed by this room. It is very dark in there. So for the first seconds you can not see any stone of that dome, just the very saturated yellow / orange glass. After a while the eyes adapt and the dome becomes visible.
- Sharpness: Yes it was partially intentional. I tried to focus on the glass, more than onto the dome. Additionally it is a compromise for exposure time, because the tripod was not installable as stable as one would wish to. The is a statue below, and the tripod has to stand one one foot to not touch the statue.
- The "strange black line" is a scratch at the film produced while processing. The "burnt pixel" is not a pixel but a film corn which somehow developed wrong. I will retouch both errors today.

- Support This photo is a piece of art in many ways, not only because of the weather at that time and place, but also the technique used, the camera used, it is a look at the past and the present.

- Oppose 6 FPs at once is a lot of FPs. Quality is good but right now I don't see what makes this pulpit special. It lacks wow to me and I couldn't find on the Internet anything special about it. Poco a poco (talk) 17:38, 6 August 2024 (UTC)
- Info Not the pulpit itself, but the church, where it is located. St. Genesius (Riedböhringen) is the burial church of cardinal Augustin Bea, one of the most important personalities of the Second Vatican Council and personal confessor of Pope Pius XII. -- Llez (talk) 18:34, 6 August 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose First and last pictures are not extraordinary, in my opinion. Unexceptional angles of view, distorsions in the first case, yellowish interior light. The four statues also seem quite repetitive. When opened individually, each image has limited wow factor, I think. The last one, if nominated alone, would certainly fail, due to the composition. Thus the only reason to be part of this set seems to show the stairs, which are not really special, sorry -- Basile Morin (talk) 02:57, 7 August 2024 (UTC)
- Info 1.) It is not a yellowish light, but the walls are slightly beige. You can check it by comparing them with the white tablecloth in the left picture. 2.) The reason was not to show the stairs, but it was, in connection with the first picture, the only way to show the position of the four evangelists at the pulpit. --Llez (talk) 09:06, 7 August 2024 (UTC)
- In a set, each picture should be FP-level, and not only "in connection with" the others. That angle, with the angel from behind, numerous busy elements, uneven ground, and shadows, is particularly unappealing -- Basile Morin (talk) 05:30, 8 August 2024 (UTC)

- It's not that your image doesn't meet FP standards. I mean that the visible coloured image of the same galaxy should also be featured, but I'm worried that the amount of photos of said galaxy as well as it's colour might reduce its chance of being a FP. There's nothing wrong with your photo. Zzzs (talk) 15:03, 4 August 2024 (UTC)

- Comment Converting master images (i.e., versions of what Wikimedia Commons uses as source images when scaling) from lossless images to lossy compression is a bad idea as it degrades the image quality. Also, Wikimedia Commons does a good enough transparent conversion from TIFF to JPEG on the fly that there is no need for manual conversions for general use just to get a JPEG version of the file. --Zache (talk) 23:16, 1 August 2024 (UTC)
- Weak support A JPG version is a standard format that has the advantage of a low weigh. It is also easy to download, and to display in many softwares and browsers.

SupportGood execution. Thanks for the edit, Mile. I think the inversion of the vignetting as an improvised solution for the retouch is very successful in this case and fits harmoniously into the image. -- Radomianin (talk) 13:50, 1 August 2024 (UTC)
- Support withdrawn Without doing a research before, I did not know that this is a historically important photograph with a bio. Therefore I withdraw my vote, although I believe a plain derivative would be permissible. -- Radomianin (talk) 07:55, 2 August 2024 (UTC)

- Oppose Original photo is here. It is a famous photograph, part of the "Finnish Heritage Agency". You can't change the appearance of a widespread cover of magazine Eeva, and pretend the author is the photographer Seppo Konstig with such a fancy effect as this white gradient all around. Many photographers don't like this nebulous, cloudy style, and it would be misleading to believe that the photographer chose this appearance for that portrait. You can modify the photos that belong to you as much as you want, but for the significant photos that are anchored in history, it seems essential to me to respect the original source, even if it is not to the taste of all the participants from Wikimedia in 2024. Imagine Che Guevara, or Louis Armstrong with a similar white cloud outline, it would be ridiculous to promote such a version. Okay for the original (unedited) in JPG only -- Basile Morin (talk) 02:19, 2 August 2024 (UTC)

- Comment No need for a half-bird. Charlesjsharp (talk) 07:30, 31 July 2024 (UTC)
- Support I think this photo deserves a little bit more discussion. Perspective, focus and crop are certainly unusual. But people often consider the colourful throat as the most interesting feature of this species, and therefore it makes some sense that the photo emphasizes the throat and shows it in all its beauty. – Aristeas (talk) 09:09, 2 August 2024 (UTC)
- Comment More discussion, then, though I know Aristeas does not welcome my critiques. Apologies to the photographer for going into more detail: The composition is unnatural, awkward and unbalanced. The point of view is well below the bird which is surprising considering a 600mm lens was used. The foreground bush is distracting, as is the blurred tail. The chest feathers are nicely in focus but the eye and top of the head are not. The choice of lens means that even with F8 the depth of field is poor. So 3/10 for artistic impression and 3/10 for technical merit. Charlesjsharp (talk) 16:39, 2 August 2024 (UTC)
- Comment Charles, I appreciate your critiques, especially when they are clear and detailed as this one. When I emphasize the strenghs of a photo which has been criticized by you (or anybody else), I do not do this because I want to contradict you, but because IMHO photos deserve a good discussion which considers both the merits and the vices of each image. This a good way to encourage others to examine the image in detail for themselves, and ultimately to arrive together at a balanced judgment in a lively exchange of opinions. -- Aristeas (talk) 18:59, 2 August 2024 (UTC)

Closing a featured picture promotion request
The bot
Note that the description below is for manual closure, this is mostly not needed anymore as there exists a bot (FPCBot) that counts the votes and handles the process below. However after the bot has counted the votes a manual review step is used to make sure the count is correct before the bot again picks up the work.
Manual procedure
Any experienced user may close requests.
- In Commons:Featured picture candidates/candidate list click on the title/link of the candidate image, then [edit].
Add the result of the voting at the bottom (on a new line with a space first)
(for example see Commons:Featured picture candidates/File:The Bridge (August 2013).jpg). See also {{FPC-results-reviewed}}.
{{FPC-results-reviewed|support=x|oppose=x|neutral=x|featured=("yes" or "no")|gallery=xxx (leave blank if "featured=no")|sig=~~~~}} - Also edit the title of the candidate image template and add after the image tag
featured or not featured
For example:
=== [[:File:XXXXX.jpg]] ===
becomes
=== [[:File:XXXXX.jpg]], featured === - Save your edit.
- If it is featured:
- Add the picture to the list of the four most recently featured pictures of an appropriate gallery of Commons:Featured pictures, list as the first one and delete the last one, so that the number is four again.
- Also add the picture to the appropriate gallery and section of Commons:Featured pictures, list. Click on the most appropriate link beneath where you just added it as one of the four images. An image should only appear ONE time in the galleries. After a successful nomination, the image can be placed in several of the Featured pictures categories.
- Add the template {{Assessments|featured=1}} to the image description page.
- If it was an alternative image, use the subpage/com-nom parameter: For example, if File:Foo.jpg was promoted at Commons:Featured picture candidates/File:Bar.jpg, use {{Assessments|featured=1|com-nom=Bar.jpg}}
- If the image is already featured on another wikipedia, just add featured=1 to the Assessments template. For instance {{Assessments|enwiki=1}} becomes {{Assessments|enwiki=1|featured=1}}
- Add the picture to the chronological list of featured pictures. Put it in the gallery using this format: File:xxxxx.jpg|# - '''Headline'''<br>created by [[User:xxxxx|xxxxx]], uploaded by [[User:xxxxx|xxxxx]], nominated by [[User:xxxxx|xxxxx]]
- The # should be replaced by 1 for the first image nominated that month, and counts up after that. Have a look at the other noms on that page for examples.
- You may simplify this if multiple things were done by the same user. E.g.: File:xxxxx.jpg|# - '''Headline'''<br>created, uploaded, and nominated by [[User:xxxxx|xxxxx]]
- Add == FP promotion ==
{{FPpromotion|File:XXXXX.jpg}} to the Talk Page of the nominator.
- As the last step (whether the image is featured or not; including {{FPX}}ed, {{FPD}}ed and withdrawn nominations), open Commons:Featured picture candidates/candidate list, click on [edit], and find the transclusion of the nomination you've just finished closing. It will be of the form:
{{Commons:Featured picture candidates/File:XXXXX.jpg}}
Copy it to the bottom of Commons:Featured picture candidates/Log/August 2024), save that page, and remove it from the candidate list.
Closing a delisting request
- In Commons:Featured picture candidates/candidate list click on the title/link of the candidate image, then [edit].
Add the result of the voting at the bottom (on a new line with a space first)
'''Result:''' x delist, x keep, x neutral => /not/ delisted. ~~~~
(for example see Commons:Featured picture candidates/removal/Image:Astrolabe-Persian-18C.jpg) - Also edit the title of the delisting candidate image template and add after the image tag
delisted or not delisted
For example:
=== [[:File:XXXXX.jpg]] === becomes === [[:File:XXXXX.jpg]], delisted === - Move the actual template from Commons:Featured picture candidates/candidate list to the bottom of the actual month page on Commons:Featured picture candidates/Log/August 2024.
- If the outcome was not delisted, stop here. If it is delisted:
- Remove the picture from Commons:Featured pictures, list and any subpages.
- Edit the picture's description as follows:
- Replace the template {{Featured picture}} on the image description page by {{Delisted picture}}. If using the {{Assessments}} template, change featured=1 to featured=2 (do not change anything related to its status in other featured picture processes).
- Remove the image from all categories beginning with "Featured [pictures]" (example: Featured night photography, Featured pictures from Wiki Loves Monuments 2016, Featured pictures of Paris).
- Remove the "Commons quality assessment" claim (d:Property:P6731) "Wikimedia Commons featured picture" from the picture's Structured data.
- Add a delisting-comment to the original entry in chronological list of featured pictures in bold-face, e. g. delisted 2007-07-19 (1-6) with (1-6) meaning 1 keep and 6 delist votes (change as appropriate). The picture in the gallery is not removed.
- If this is a Delist and Replace, the delisting and promotion must both be done manually. To do the promotion, follow the steps in the above section. Note that the assessment tag on the file page and the promotion tag on the nominator's talk page won't pick up the /replace subpage that these nominations use.
Manual archiving of a withdrawn nomination
- In Commons:Featured picture candidates/candidate list click on the title/link of the candidate image, then [edit].
In the occasion that the FPCbot will not mark withdrawn nominations with a "to be reviewed" template and put them in Category:Featured picture candidates awaiting closure review just like if they were on the usual list, put the following "no" template:
{{FPC-results-reviewed|support=X|oppose=X|neutral=X|featured=no|gallery=|sig=--~~~~}} - Also edit the title of the candidate image template and add after the image tag
not featured
For example:
=== [[:File:XXXXX.jpg]] ===
becomes
=== [[:File:XXXXX.jpg]], not featured === - Save your edit.
- Open Commons:Featured picture candidates/candidate list, click on [edit], and find the transclusion of the nomination. It will be of the form:
{{Commons:Featured picture candidates/File:XXXXX.jpg}}
Copy it to the bottom of Commons:Featured picture candidates/Log/August 2024), save that page, and remove it from the candidate list.
