  • I'm not "expecting" them to do anything but their jobs. We're judging this picture's FP qualities, not USAF professionalism. It just doesn't have the composition that I would consider to be FP-quality. -- Veggies (talk) 17:43, 26 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Good photo with excellent EV. I really don't understand the comments regarding composition above: this photo depicts an absolutely packed military transport aircraft during an historic flight undertaken in emergency conditions, so the obstructions are to be expected. The sheeting was likely screening the toilet facilities, which are located in that part of C-17 aircraft, so it's odd to suggest that it shouldn't have been there. In short, the photo accurately depicts what this event looked like, and in a pretty striking way. Nick-D (talk) 05:28, 26 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose per Janke & Charles. —kallerna 12:48, 26 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support – Per Nick-D this is a live action, documentary photo. It shows the chaotic, unplanned, unusual circumstance well. The messiness of the composition complements the messiness of the whole operation. In this case EV takes priority over artistic value IMO (criterion 5). On a sidenote: it's already used in 7 articles. Bammesk (talk) 03:04, 27 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

It isn't used in any articles. It should be in an article (FP criterion 5). If it enhances the text of an article sufficiently enough, then it may convince the voters (reviewers) to make an exception and it may have a chance, but that's a hard task, given a somewhat similar image can possibly be shot (albeit painfully). The composition is great. It should be in This article perhaps. I wonder if the original film could be scanned at a higher resolution. Bammesk (talk) 02:23, 2 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • So, you see, this is the main problem. We know nothing about it. If it's available on the museum website with a description (or maybe you took a photo of the description in the museum), at least we could add something to the file description.

OriginalIsambard Kingdom Brunel Standing Before the Launching Chains of the Great Eastern by Robert Howlett (1857)
Reason
One of the most iconic photographs of the industrial era, this work by Robert Howlett depicts the great engineer Isambard Kingdom Brunel standing before the chains of the SS Great Eastern, the largest ship constructed to that date, which took months to launch after she was built. It represents an example of environmental photography in an era where it was technically difficult. According to the article, it "has been included in many published collections of photographs" and deemed "one of the most famous photographs of the nineteenth century, and, possibly, of all time." I'm not particularly into photography and even I know that this is one of those "iconic photos" alongside Into the Jaws of Death and Raising the flag on Iwo Jima (if not nearly as serious in subject matter). I was surprised this wasn't already an FP, so if it is do let me know; likewise if there is a better-quality version available on the wiki.  – John M Wolfson (talk • contribs) 19:08, 4 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Original – Painting by Francisco Goya depicting an auto de fé, an act of public penance carried out between the 15th and 19th centuries of condemned heretics and apostates imposed by the Inquisition, based on 1800-1810 first-hand accounts.
Reason
FP on Commons. I think that the particular historic value of this piece is due in large part to the late date in which it was produced. I think when most people think of the Inquisition they think of it in terms of the late medieval period, with the name of 15th century Grand Inquisitor Tomás de Torquemada becoming almost synonymous with the Spanish one (and little mention is made in popular culture of the Mexican or Portuguese ones). An artwork depicting contemporary trials in the 19th century, barely a few decades before Spain entered the industrial age, is in my opinion of high value as it dispels this distorted notion of the institution.

This is the close as you can get to the temple. As you can't take your camera on the premises of the temple. Bada Kaji (talk • श्रीमान् गम्भीर) 11:25, 16 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Janke and Sca: This is the main temple in Pashupati. There are 492 temples surrounding the Pashupatinath Temple. Also, you can't take pictures on the temple's premises. This photo was taken from Pashupati Aryaghat, where you can use your camera. After overcoming these problems, this is one of the finest pictures of the temple.
