  •  Info Ghepan Lake (also known as Ghepang Ghat or Alyaas Lake), a glacial lake at about 4,100 metres (13,500 ft) altitude in the Himalayas of the northern Indian state of Himachal Pradesh. Located in Lahaul, it can be reached via a roughly 15 km long moderate-to-difficult climb from Sissu (near the tourist resort town of Manali, with overnight camping in the meadows along the trail. The lake is over 250 acres (100 ha) in surface area, holds 35.08 million cubic meters of water and is currently one of the largest glacial lakes in the western Himalayas. It is continuously expanding and has grown over three-fold in size in the past four decades due to an accelerated rate of glacial melting.

Bloem van een haagwinde (Calystegia sepium).
  • @2015 Michael 2015:  Comment Thank you for your comments on this photo. It is new to me that an excellent (FP) photo of a flower must be taken in sunlight. Most of my stacked macro photos of flowers (with an FP star) are deliberately photographed in the shade with even light. Otherwise, the final result of the stacking fails for me. I have brightened up this photo a bit; perhaps you will like it better now.--Famberhorst (talk) 04:40, 24 August 2026 (UTC)
    How do you understand "from my point of view"? I never said something like "must be" (= is a rule). I wrote my perspective / opinion. Other users are writing "I miss the wow effect", it matches here too. Your picture is already selected as QI and that matches. From my perspective too much good (= not excellent) pictures gets selected as FP. You have still a good chance that other users disagree to my opinion, i.e. my voice will probably not change a promotion to FP. ~~~~ 2015 Michael 2015 (talk) 07:30, 24 August 2026 (UTC)
  •  Support A very simple and accomplished photo of a common flower. Of course, photographing flowers (and insects, by the way) with direct sunlight is to be avoided, especially when they are white. Quite often I use my own shadow to prevent the situation. -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 13:55, 24 August 2026 (UTC)
  • If I allow my shadow to fall on an insect, it usually flies away. Charlesjsharp (talk) 17:13, 24 August 2026 (UTC)

I therefore made a lightly processed version with some noise reduction and an embedded sRGB profile, which I am offering via SwissTransfer. If useful, it could either be used to update the file or, if the image is currently part of a competition, as a derivative. Just a suggestion. Best, -- Radomianin (talk) 21:08, 21 August 2026 (UTC)

  •  Comment - I agree with IamMM. I imagine the lower exposure needed to capture the detail on the chalk affected the colour, but it also feels... almost undersaturated?  — Chris Woodrich (talk) 16:47, 21 August 2026 (UTC)
  •  Comment I took a close look at the image and its EXIF data before supporting it. With ISO 64, f/13 and 1/80 s at 1:21 pm, the deep blue sky seems quite plausible to me given the very bright chalk formations. A polarizing filter or some adjustment of the blue tones in post-processing could also play a role. I had a similar experience with my California State Capitol photo, taken at 1/2000 s, f/5 and ISO 100 in bright daylight. I cannot see any obvious masking edges or other indication that the sky is artificial, so I see no reason to assume that it is. -- Radomianin (talk) 20:12, 21 August 2026 (UTC)

  •  Oppose Probably taken with a polarizer, that’s fine, but this does not change the fact that the sky is too dark by a large margin, so it must be made brighter again in post-processing. A polarizer is just a useful filter, it does not exempt a photo from adjusting brightness if necessary. – Aristeas (talk) 19:41, 22 August 2026 (UTC)

Personally, I like the darker sky and the slightly surreal atmosphere it creates, but I also understand the concern about faithful representation. I prepared a restrained alternative with the sky slightly lifted, available via a SwissTransfer link. I would not overwrite the current file, as it is currently under jury evaluation for Wiki Loves Earth 2026.

Alligator pipefish (Syngnathoides biaculeatus), Nosy Be, Madagascar
  • Gallery: Commons:Featured pictures/Animals/Fish#Family_:_Syngnathidae_(Seahorses,_Pipefishes_and_Seadragons)
  •  Info Alligator pipefish (Syngnathoides biaculeatus), Nosy Be, Madagascar. Note: there is no FP on Commons of the genus Syngnathoides and only one of the whole family Syngnathida (a seahorse). It is found in shallow water in the tropical and subtropical Indo-Pacific, its range extending from East Africa to northern Australia. This fish lives in habitats of seagrass and seaweed, and hides by positioning itself vertically with its head down amidst the similar-coloured fronds of vegetation. The elongated, well-camouflaged body can reach 29 centimetres (11 in) in length. It feeds by sucking up its prey. c/u/n by Poco a poco (talk) 18:22, 20 August 2026 (UTC)

    The bird was not sitting idle rather moving a lot, therefore I used fast shutter, could have used 1250 instead though.

Nevertheless, some states have exceptions since they consider these competitions as 'cultural heritage.'

  •  Oppose See Commons:Watermarks and Commons:Image annotations. Burned-in text is not the standard. Additional meta-data outside the image is the standard and improves our ability to use media across all Wikipedia projects. When labels are rendered directly into the pixels, they are not programmatically readable by assistive technologies (screen readers), and do not adapt to users needing high-contrast assistance. -- E bailey (talk) 16:27, 16 August 2026 (UTC)
    Thanks for raising this, but I think neither of the two linked pages actually supports the oppose. Commons:Watermarks explicitly defines watermarks as content that is not part of the creative work itself and serves to assert authorship/copyright. Peak labels are informational content and part of the work, comparable to labels on a map. Besides, that page is a proposed guideline, not policy. Commons:Image annotations, in turn, explicitly lists "identification of places/objects/locations in panoramic photographs" as a desirable type of information. It governs the annotation tool, it does not prohibit rendered labels.
    On the practical side: image notes simply do not work for a 38,000 px panorama. They are only visible on the scaled-down file page preview, not in the Media Viewer, not in ZoomViewer, not in article thumbnails, not in downloaded copies. Precisely at full resolution, where peak identification matters, notes are invisible. So there is, realistically, no alternative way to offer a labeled high-resolution panorama on Commons — the only "alternative" would be not to create such panoramas at all, which would be a loss, considering the substantial work that goes into them.
    Regarding accessibility: the file has a detailed bilingual description naming all major peaks, which is fully machine-readable (including structured data). That, not pixels or image notes (which screen readers cannot read either), is what assistive technology relies on. Current screen readers additionally perform OCR on images: VoiceOver includes built-in Text Recognition (iOS 14+), and JAWS offers Convenient OCR and Picture Smart AI. And for anyone preferring an unlabeled version for reuse, translation, or high-contrast adaptation it is linked under "other versions" at full resolution. Nothing is lost; the labeled version simply adds value, the same way a labeled map does. Tuxyso (talk) 17:41, 16 August 2026 (UTC)
    I would support the version without labels. It has broader use and value. E bailey (talk) 18:33, 16 August 2026 (UTC)
  •  Support -- In my opinion, the two versions work best together, just like twins. Je-str (talk) 21:01, 16 August 2026 (UTC)
  •  Support The labels add genuine encyclopedic value by identifying the peaks directly in the panorama. They are informational content, not a watermark. The digital modifications, including the added labels and removal of the radio mast, are fully documented in the retouching template, with the original version linked. The unlabelled full-resolution version is also available, so both versions complement each other very well. -- Radomianin (talk) 09:15, 17 August 2026 (UTC)
  •  Weak oppose IMHO there is a reasonable middle ground here. As mentioned above, the burned-in text detracts from an otherwise wonderful panorama and limits its usefulness by turning it into a specifically encyclopedic illustration. The labels are useful information, but that information does not necessarily need to be part of the pixels themselves. Commons already provides ways to associate information with particular parts of an image, annotations and, more usefully, Structured Data with depicts (P180) and relative position within image (P2677). That would allow the individual peaks to be identified in a machine-readable and multilingual way while keeping the original panorama clean and reusable. I would prefer the unlabelled panorama as the featured version, and keeping the labelled file as a useful derivative. The existing unlabelled version could also be added here as an Alternative, allowing voters to choose between the two. I also don't think Commons:Watermarks is relevant in this case because these are informational labels rather than authorship or copyright markings. --Wilfredor (talk) 13:40, 17 August 2026 (UTC)
    Thanks for the review! Could you show me an example of how you'd depict the individual peaks? Maybe we could even combine both ideas — Wikidata plus labels? Tuxyso (talk) 21:53, 17 August 2026 (UTC)
    Thanks, yes, I think combining both approaches could actually be a good solution. What I had in mind was adding a depicts (P180) statement for each identifiable peak in the file's Structured Data, with relative position within image (P2677) as a qualifier indicating its position. There is already a Commons example using this approach for multiple landmarks File:Werner Haberkorn - Centro da cidade.jpg, where individual buildings are identified with P180 and P2677. This would not visually replace your labels, of course, at present the structured positions are not rendered as labels over the image, so I can see the value of keeping the labelled derivative as well. The advantage is that the peak identities would additionally become machine-readable and multilingual, while the unlabelled panorama is available for unrestricted reuse Wilfredor (talk) 21:53, 18 August 2026 (UTC)
    Thanks for the hint to mark peaks in the structured data (personally I currently have 0,1% knowhow about Wikidata). Currently this approach is imho for me only of theoretical nature because the marks are not translated into visuals marks directly on the photo. Probably a combination of both could be interesting for future panoramas. Direct labeling plus structured data in ONE photo. What do you think? Another question: Is there a way to automate the generation of such structured data? If it works only 100% manually the benefit for adding this seems too low. The best case would be: An automatic labeling tool which generates the strucured data and a rendering in the software which generates labels based on the information.

  •  Comment Zooming in, the bottom part of the 'rectangle' part of the arrow is seen through the 'point' of the arrow. This is visible as two small points on either side of the bottom of every arrow. This bugs me a lot. --Qwaabza (talk) 03:25, 24 August 2026 (UTC)
    ✓ Done Thanks, User:Qwaabza for spotting this! You were right, I have overseen it. What bugs me even more: This is a long-standing Photoshop Line Tool issue, documented in Adobe's own community since 2021. Increasing the arrowhead width from 3 px to 5 px fixes it; I have corrected all arrows accordingly. Please take another look (could take some time until the Wikimedia proxy is updated).

  •  Weak oppose The image has a very striking and almost abstract visual quality, and I can certainly understand the support it has received. However, I have some reservations about the technical quality: the fine rock structures appear somewhat soft, and some darker areas lack detail. For me, these issues are just enough to keep it below the FP threshold. -- Radomianin (talk) 09:01, 18 August 2026 (UTC)
