Welcome to the Photography critiques!
Would you like a second opinion before nominating a photograph of yours as a Quality Image, Valued Image or Featured Picture candidate, can't decide which of your images to enter into one of the Photo Challenges? Or do you have specific questions about how to improve your photography or just would like some general feedback?
This is the right page to gather other people's opinions!
If you want general suggestions to a good photo, you can ask here, and we already wrote guidelines.
If you don't get some terminology used here, don't be shy you can ask about it, or read
Please insert new entries at the bottom, and comment on oldest entries first.
To prevent archiving use {{subst:DNAU}}, because SpBot archives all sections after 90 days, unless archiving has been postponed or suppressed through the use of {{subst:DNAU}}. You can ask the bot to archive a section earlier by using {{Section resolved|1=~~~~}} – then it will be archived after 7 days.
Could any of these images be FP status?
[edit]
Wobbanight (talk) 01:16, 10 December 2025 (UTC)
- No. A phone camera doesn't produce the quality wanted for a successful FP candidacy; I explained that to you just above.
- Furthermore, only File:Harmony with Bushnell Tower in the Background.jpg has a composition which may be interesting enough for a FP. Such a shot made with a DSLR and a good lens could be successful, but even if you use something like a prosumer device (e.g. Canon EOS 60D or newer) but with a simple lens (again for Canon: EF-S 18-55 IS II or EF-S 18-135mm), you have to get lucky to be able to salvage the shot downstream with software - you've got to try to hide or negate the downsides of the cheap optics (softness, chromatic aberrations, distortions).
- The remainder of your samples are too bad, they would never live up to the expectations of FPC, they don't only fail because of the capturing device, but also because they aren't well-composed. Regards, Grand-Duc (talk) 05:26, 10 December 2025 (UTC)

- I only know that i know nothing. bt I think you should nominate them all for QI beforehand. Earth605 (talk) 06:43, 14 December 2025 (UTC)
My second best ever photo
[edit]
This is my second best ever photo. I personally think it is gorgeous. Before, I took photos with a very bad SONYcamera. Now, I have switched to a Cannon. How can I improve beyond cameras? Earth605 (talk) 06:41, 14 December 2025 (UTC)
- This is overexposed and grainy. Unfortunately, This camera cannot handle highlight. Yann (talk) 18:05, 15 February 2026 (UTC)

- Sunset with a smartphone? No. The quality is just not there. The lighthouse is better. Yann (talk) 18:03, 15 February 2026 (UTC)
Quality Photo/Featured Photo?
[edit]Hey -
So I snapped (what I think is) a nice photo of Tokyo Skytree, but it's more creative than of any encyclopedic value. The Tokyo Skytree itself is pretty much underexposed, and the sky is doing the leg room (albeit, from a fairly nice vantage point).
WDYT, and any critiques? I've done a bit of post work to bright out some colour on the buildings.
Grain is added in post due to a non-trivial amount of posterization when exporting as a JPG, but I think adds value to the photograph overall.

- Much too dark. Either too late, or too early with a long pose and a tripod. Yann (talk) 17:47, 15 February 2026 (UTC)
Feedback on this photo of a steam locomotive
[edit]-3.jpg)
Does this picture meet the quality image requirements and if no, what needs to be better? I would like to have feedback on this picture (positive and negative). Sneeuwvlakte (talk) 17:17, 15 February 2026 (UTC)
- Hi, The main issue is the composition. There are 2 poles on the middle, one cut at the top, and the other just in front of the locomotive. The light is not great, but with the winter weather, nothing much can be done about it. Poles in the middle could be a feature, but they should be carefully placed.

- Thank you! Sneeuwvlakte (talk) 17:37, 16 February 2026 (UTC)
