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

- Info Blue dragon (Pteraeolidia ianthina), Anilao, Philippines. This sea slug, of a length of about 7 centimetres (2.8 in), is widespread throughout the Indo-Pacific and can be fount at a dept of up to 30 metres (98 ft). Pteraeolidia has evolved a method of capturing and farming microscopic plants (zooxanthellae) in its own body. The plants flourish in this protected environment and as they convert the sun's energy into sugars, they pass a significant proportion on to the nudibranch for its own use. The slug gains enough photosythetically derived sugars to sustain it without feeding. Note: we have no FPs of the genus Pteraeolidia. c/u/n by Poco a poco (talk) 17:35, 26 July 2024 (UTC)

- Comment On Helicon Focus, have you tried to use a lower radius (4 or less)? It might help in reducing the blurry areas around the stamen. Sometimes a lower radius creates halos around the flower, though. When that happens I often use the 'Use other output as source' option in the 'Retouching' tab to combine to combine the best bits of a high-radius stack and a low-radius one. --Julesvernex2 (talk)
- @Julesvernex2: Thanks for your reply. By default I use -B, Radius 8, Smoothing 4- But tonight I will try your advice and upload the possible improved version. Yours sincerely,--Famberhorst (talk) 14:48, 26 July 2024 (UTC)
- I just checked what I use: Depth map (B) Radius 8, Smoothing 4. I never change it. You have to go through each image cloning in the background where it is in focus then manually complete in Photoshop/Lightroom using the cloning tool. It is time-consuming. I've given up pointing out the ubiquitous stacking errors. Some voters don't seem to mind. Charlesjsharp (talk) 16:15, 26 July 2024 (UTC)
- And you have to do the same for the background otherwise you get these sort of halos/patterns. Charlesjsharp (talk) 16:20, 26 July 2024 (UTC)
- You're throwing away a lot of what Helicon can do by sticking to the default settings and going straight to cloning. Here's the workflow I found most effective so far: 1) make several outputs with different settings (usually method B with a 4 to 20 radius, but sometimes also method C); 2) combine the best features of each output (with the 'Use other output as source' option mentioned above); 3) clean up the background by sourcing it from a single frame (usually Helicon sources it from multiple frames, messing up the bokeh); 4) clone any lingering errors (sometimes within Helicon, but most often using Photoshop's better tools) --Julesvernex2 (talk) 16:59, 26 July 2024 (UTC)
- Done. New version. Thanks for your reviews.--Famberhorst (talk) 17:42, 26 July 2024 (UTC)

- It's not my photo, and as far as I can tell the photographer had a single burst of activity in 2022 and is no longer active. I only nominated this because I was strongly "wowed" by it, and in my opinion the low quality does not preclude it from being FP as there are some recent successful nominations with a similar resolution.

It shows how this particular species looks like (like the other photos of the species) but the educational value (especially given the large amount of FP photos like that, the limited relevance to people and society, the existing other media about the bird, etc) is limited. I don't know why the criteria of educational value is not more important to other editors here given the WMC pillars / the contents of the scope page.

- Comment There is a danger Prototyperspective that your rejections of a range of different images that you claim have insufficient educational value could be taken as disruptive voting. Perhps it is just that your wording is unfortunate and you could find a different way to oppose. Insufficient 'wow' is vague, but is often used as a reason to oppose a nomination that voters feel is too everyday or boring. Charlesjsharp (talk) 17:05, 22 July 2024 (UTC)

- Oppose Quality problem. F/2.8 = Limited depth of field. Out of focus foreground and background. ISO 5,000 = poor level of detail. Very high level of noise in the dark areas. Blown highlights on the beach. Also overprocessed (the whites are gray) -- Basile Morin (talk) 10:52, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
- Support Thank you, RodRabelo7, for this nomination. I reconstructed the image from RAW using NX Studio, applying a vignetting fix. I used Topaz Denoise for noise reduction. The ISO was set to 1600 due to the lighting conditions. I didn't use a tripod to avoid drawing attention in a favela. The aperture was set to 2.8 because the subject was far away, and at such distances, a larger aperture isn't necessary. It’s normal because it is a night photo for some areas to appear very bright while others are darker. --Wilfredor (talk) 23:53, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose I dont see DoF problems, but 2.8 means very unsharp on edges. Bigest problem is very strong CA, i think hours could be spent here to solve it, after it highligthed boards etc. Tripod would solve, but you didnt try it. Alternative has same problems.

- Oppose Level of blur of the background. Yes, DoF is a real problem, not only on edges, also at the distance. Low level of detail due to high ISO: 2500 here or 5000 / 1600 in the previous version(s), it is far too excessive when you need to lift the shadows in post-process. Shooting at dark night without tripod is hard (more than blue hour). The picture is okay to document the place, but technically not one of the finest. Empirical solutions when you don't have a tripod: 1) use a simple (and more discreet) monopod, which generally allows you to reach one full second quite easily, 2) use a wall, or any edge of surrounding structure, then stabilize the camera with stones, 3) walk with a friend who masters martial arts :-) or with good eyes, capable of monitoring, 4) Possible sometimes to manually take multiple shots at different focus points, then carefully assembly them at home, 5) Go at blue hour, when there is still more light. It will also bring an appealing sky, while reducing the highlights -- Basile Morin (talk) 03:18, 23 July 2024 (UTC)
- And it seems tilted to the right. ★ 03:03, 27 July 2024 (UTC)
- What bothers me more, is "the excessive noise reduction" (far more important than here for comparison), destroying the textures and details, in addition to the low DoF. When you zoom in, many areas appear almost solid color, like the sky, the mountains, and the transitions sometimes reveal artifacts -- Basile Morin (talk) 01:43, 28 July 2024 (UTC)

- Question However much one agrees with the sentiments, is FPC the place for snapshot of a crude political statement? I don't think so. Charlesjsharp (talk) 14:00, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
- Politics is everywhere and has to do with history. Voting for an image is a fundamental right that we should all exercise, regardless of our political opinions. Historical photographs, from Nazism to Communism, remind us of past realities. These images should not prevent us from supporting a photograph that opposes a dictator. Supporting that image is defending justice and freedom. Wilfredor (talk) 19:07, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
- You know not everything is a "right". We humans like to think of ourselves as deservant or entitled to something, when in reality we only deserve as much as we get. Having said that, I see no need to feature this image, so Oppose. Wolverine XI 20:58, 20 July 2024 (UTC)

- Comment The question here is whether this is an outstanding photo or not. Not for me because the face is covered. The judgement should always be neutral, completely independent of political views. Anything else would be manipulation.--Ermell (talk) 19:44, 19 July 2024 (UTC)

- Comment A stunning image. Very well processed, insane light, very good storytelling by repeating the subject from the DoF in the unsharp background. That face, crystal sharp looking directly to us – very good. I would love to vote for this image. But the historical statement made by the crowd here can only be described as anti-historic. I would have no problem if they would protest again Putin or even for him. But the Hitler comparison is so stupid. Well, I have to think about it. Perhaps I will come to the conclusion that the content is not disturbing that masterpiece of photography. --August (talk) 22:34, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
- Could it then be a good representation of human stupidity? In any case all authoritarian governments are compared to Hitler Wilfredor (talk) 01:57, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
- My analysis: this image represents an iconic anti-Putin (Putler) protest and has the wow factor, as well as an anti-communist or a Nazi propaganda poster. History is history. Period. ★ 17:47, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
- Stop this "period" thing, it's getting old. Anyways, history is history is a very weak argument because it doesn't take into account all the crazy shit we humans have done and continue to do, examples include the holocaust, 9/11, World War I & II, American Civil War, Slave Trade, environmental damages, atheism, hate speech, antisemitism and the list continues.

- Oppose Beautiful eyes and long clean hair, but the nazi salute attributed to Putin ruins the message. Face hidden behind a scarf, as only semi-convinced, semi-recognizable. And she seems more attentive to the photographer and the image of herself than to the protest in action. Looking at the viewer, she seems to say "look at my Photoshopped Putler shared on Facebook and Instagram ". Nazi analogies are so often rehashed that they are not very powerful, in addition to corrupting ancient history. It's like representing Vladimir Putin dressed as a devil with horns and tail, I don't know who would worry about that. It can even cause the opposite of the desired goal. An image of a real, serious fact truly attributed to Putin would be better than a poor mental fabrication. And a convincing protester with more energy -- Basile Morin (talk) 10:29, 22 July 2024 (UTC)

- I consider the picture photojournalism. It is nominated for the contemporary history gallery. Demonstrations and statements like this were common in 2022. --Thi (talk) 21:26, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose We have some unwriten rule, not to put actual political situtaion on FP, till it cool down. Probably we have double copyvio, i doubt author of printed photo made Kremelj and Putin photo, to make collage. Above all, i dont want to see this "hate speach" as picture of the day. --Mile (talk) 11:15, 23 July 2024 (UTC)
- Comment The sign includes copyrighted elements, so the picture is under deletion according to Commons:Derivative works. 29 Wikipedia articles use the image. It could be useful if the sign was blurred like the license plate numbers in some pictures. I don't do it with my own skills, so that the picture doesn't start to resemble Ecce Homo. --Thi (talk) 18:26, 23 July 2024 (UTC)
- Comment Agree; maybe we can help here. @A.Savin: Would you agree that it is sufficient to blur the image(s) on the demonstrator’s sign, keeping the “Stop Putler!” letters, to get rid of the copyright violation problem? Then such a modified version of this image could be kept as a useful illustration for the mentioned Wikipedia articles. Is it also necessary to blur the (already very blurry) Hitler image on the sign in the background? I would regard the latter as de minimis because it is out of focus. (And no, I do not want to promote/defent the “Putler” term; historically this is certainly a wrong comparison, just as most comparisons; but the term exists, and the image is a good illustration.) – Aristeas (talk) 19:22, 24 July 2024 (UTC)
- Not just the source images but also the collage itself (yes, even as poorly made one as this) may be a reason to claim copyright. So no, blurring wouldn't help us and the image should be deleted. --A.Savin 10:13, 25 July 2024 (UTC)

- Klar, das Bild wird wahrscheinlich aus Copvio-Gründen gelöscht werden, aber einfach als Foto betrachtet finde ich es wirklich gut. Es ist absolut kein “snapshot”, sondern sehr gut gemacht. In früheren Diskussionen haben diverse Leute empfohlen, die Copyright-Fragen im Löschantrag zu diskutieren und nicht hier – also folge ich diesem Rat. Und wenn ich die rein politischen Begründungen sehe, die hier für einige Kontra-Stimmen verwendet werden, und den Druck, der gegenüber dem Nominerenden aufgebaut wird (“Why not just withdraw” etc.), dann möchte ich – auch zu dessen moralischer Unterstützung – auch mit Pro stimmen.

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/July 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/July 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/July 2024), save that page, and remove it from the candidate list.
