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 things[edit]Nominating[edit]Guidelines for nominators[edit]Please 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Artworks, illustrations, and historical documents[edit]There are many different types of non-photographic media, including engravings, watercolors, paintings, etchings, and various others.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." Photographs[edit]On 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 audio[edit]Please nominate videos, sounds, music, etc. at Commons:Featured media candidates. Set nominations[edit]If 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 users[edit]Adding a new nomination[edit]If 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. Voting[edit]Editors 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 candidates[edit]Over 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 policy[edit]General rules[edit]
Featuring and delisting rules[edit]A 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. There is also a limit of two active delisting nominations per user, which is in addition to the limit of two active regular nominations. 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 polite[edit]Please 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[edit]

- Oppose Sorry. Nice blue hour shot but the uncorrected perspective distortion is obvious even in thumbnail size. Cmao20 (talk) 21:54, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
- Yes, I did this intentionally. If I were to correct the vertical lines, it would result in a completely unrealistic form because the element is very close. This is the best practice to follow in these situations. Thank you for your critique. Wilfredor (talk) 22:25, 3 April 2024 (UTC)

- Thanks for the notification. Still overprocessed in my view. Just a different processing, but the same kind of modification, with excessive contrasts. The shades in gray scale are not original. More worryingly, this format is not faithful to the author's choice. While the original photograph was almost a square, here it is a rectangle. And when the author decided to grant a large space below the feet, as well as an infinity sky (giving the impression that the child is small in the environment), here the current crop seems to be altering this management of the space. There was also an eye-catching object at the left, like a dark shadow, that has been totally suppressed, for whatever reason I can't support -- Basile Morin (talk) 11:25, 4 April 2024 (UTC)
- Honestly, there is less contrast here than in the original, not more. Yann (talk) 12:26, 4 April 2024 (UTC)
- Very honestly, the dark grays in the original are black, and the light grays white. Which means that the contrasts have increased. Moreover, the derivative seems upscaled, as part of the resolution -- Basile Morin (talk) 13:23, 4 April 2024 (UTC)
- Well, the dark grays are... dark grays, and the light grays are... light grays, which means a decreased contrast. And there is nothing upscaled. Yann (talk) 13:56, 4 April 2024 (UTC)
- When superimposing the original TIFF and this derivative JPG on Photoshop, the derivative version appears bigger in size. Which is weird, since the source indicated on the page is unique, with a specific resolution. At least it's not clear where the larger resolution comes from, if it exists. Concerning the shades, I mean there's a difference between the original and this version. The original nuances appear richer and more subtle to me. Best regards -- Basile Morin (talk) 14:13, 4 April 2024 (UTC)

- Support I think the reason you are getting less interest in this one is because so much of the subject is in shadow. But personally I like the composition, per nomination. The autumn colours are subtle but nice, and there are gentle leading lines along the waterline and in the water that lead the eye from the shadowed areas to the part of the structure that's lit.

- Oppose The lack of detail in the head and the foreground leaves. Charlesjsharp (talk) 08:22, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
- I don't see any lack of detail on the head considering it is shot from a long distance (600mm zoom) at ISO 4000 because it is a dark forest. Also Bwindi Impenetrable Forest is dense with vegetation so some leafs in the foreground are inevitable, especially from a long distance. I actually think the leafs give a nice sense of depth and give accurate representation of the forest density. Having this picture of the full body of a wild mountain gorilla of a certain age in such dense environment is actually quite lucky in my opinion. Giles Laurent (talk) 09:36, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
- You were very unlucky to have to take the photo from so far away. Usually you will be taken very close to the group you have been allocated. Charlesjsharp (talk) 11:05, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
- We were able to go closer to the group a bit later but as it is a dense forest, you would not be able to see the whole body from closer as it would always be partially hidden behind dense vegetation. Giles Laurent (talk) 11:47, 3 April 2024 (UTC)

- Oppose Although it is clearly a rare shot of a gorilla in its natural habitat, I don't like the lighting, especially on the face. It looks bright and whitish like a camera flash. For me, no wow, I'm sorry. --Till (talk) 11:29, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
- No flash was used and I would never use that on any animal. The light was coming from a natural opening in the forest. The brightness on the face is natural as it comes from the reflection of the light due to wet or oily skin of the face in comparison with the fur that is dark. Giles Laurent (talk) 11:42, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
- No offense, I didn't say a flash was used. But the lighting looks a bit like that to me, i.e. a bright white light seemingly coming from the direction of the camera. Of course it is natural lighting; I just don't think the photo is FP. Till (talk) 16:07, 3 April 2024 (UTC)

- The two black spots below the tail are pieces of soil because the bird was grabing preys in a field and that his claws are still dirty with soil. The white thing is probably hair, feather or dust that was flying in the wind or fell from the bird. Giles Laurent (talk) 09:17, 3 April 2024 (UTC)

- Info Bird ringing is a vital activity that helps protect birds. In Malta, birds are humanely caught in mist nets which are checked every ten minutes. Each bird is ringed and weighed before being released. About 10% are retraps (i.e. they have been ringed before). Ringing has shown that birds from at least 48 countries use Malta during migration. Unfortunately, Malta has the densest population of bird hunters in the European Union. The high numbers of wild birds illegally shot in Malta has led to the European Commission taking legal infringement proceedings against the Maltese Government over Article 5 of the Birds Directive. Many thanks to BirdLife Malta for access to their ringing programme. No FPs of this species. All by Charlesjsharp -- Charlesjsharp (talk) 19:49, 2 April 2024 (UTC)
