Round 1 of Picture of the Year 2025 voting is open!
2024 Picture of the Year:Mundari man polishing the horns of one of his Watusi cows using a mixture of cow urine and ash as a ritualistic and protective practice in a temporary cattle camp in Terekeka, South Sudan.
Dear Wikimedian,
Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the 2025 Picture of the Year competition is now open. This year is the twentieth edition of the annual Wikimedia Commons photo competition, which recognizes exceptional contributions by users on Wikimedia Commons. Wikimedia users are invited to vote for their favourite images featured on Commons during the last year (2025) to produce a single Picture of the Year.
Hundreds of images that have been rated Featured Pictures by the international Wikimedia Commons community in the past year are all entered in this competition. These images include professional animal and plant shots, breathtaking panoramas and skylines, restorations of historical images, photographs portraying the world's best architecture, impressive human portraits, and so much more.
For your convenience, we have sorted the images into topical categories. Two rounds of voting will be held: In the first round, you may vote for as many images as you like. The top 30 overall and the top 5% of most popular images in each category will continue to the final. In the final round, you may vote for just five images to become the Picture of the Year.
This is a deletion request for the community to discuss whether the nominated page should be kept or deleted. Please voice your opinion in the linked request above. Thank you very much!
If you created this file, please note that the fact that it has been proposed for deletion does not necessarily mean that we do not value your kind contribution. It simply means that one person believes that there is some specific problem with it, such as a copyright issue. Please see Commons:But it's my own work! for a guide on how to address these issues.
Please remember to respond to and – if appropriate – contradict the arguments supporting deletion. Arguments which focus on the nominator will not affect the result of the nomination. Thank you!

I also want to highlight what an incredible turnout we had. In the second round, we saw a massive jump in both the number of users voting and the total votes cast.

Olá, Alvesgaspar. Primeiramente obrigado por continuar aportando imagens com Magica, apos de tanto tempo e realmente uma Bênção e sabe todo o respeito e admiração que tenho por si.. Sabes que estou um pouco preocupado com a FPC. Até certo ponto, concordo plenamente contigo quanto à falta de magia, mas talvez venhamos de uma época diferente, em que se dava mais importância às composições. Também vejo muitos votos positivos e muitas pessoas a absterem-se de votar negativamente para não sofrerem retaliações. Neste momento, não me ocorre como melhorar a FPC. Qualquer tentativa de alterar as regras, como aumentar o número de votos positivos necessários para selecionar uma FP, tem sido rejeitada nas últimas propostas. Wilfredor (talk) 00:39, 24 June 2026 (UTC)
Antes de mais, muito obrigado pelas palavras simpáticas. E também por utilizar a nossa língua comum para comunicar. Tens razão, FPC transformou-se nos últimos anos em algo parecido com uma rede social, onde o número de 'likes' parece ter substituído uma avaliação cuidadosa e imparcial das imagens. E onde os votos positivos são recompensados, e os negativos castigados (como aconteceu hoje com uma imagem minha). Há alguns meses atrás iniciei uma discussão (FPC is no longer a challenge), que se prolongou por várias semanas, onde tentei fazer um diagnóstico do nosso fórum (não me lembro se teres participado): https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons_talk:Featured_picture_candidates/Archive_28. Foram apresentadas estatísticas e feita uma experiência de "blind review", as quais confirmaram o que se suspeitava: que o rácio de aprovações se estava a aproximar perigosamente dos 100%, que havia utilizadores que nunca rejeitavam, e que os critérios de avaliação nem sempre tinham a ver com a qualidade das images. As conclusões finais (Diagnosis of the FPC situation) foram estranhamente ignoradas pelos participantes na discussão, não obstante a evidência esmagadora de que algo não estava bem. Sim, admito que houve uma pequena melhoria nos tempos que se seguiram. Mas continua a ver-se imagens triviais a serem promovidas rotineiramente, muitas vezes com uma enorme lista de votos positivos e não-justificados. -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 13:02, 24 June 2026 (UTC)
Hello, if this topic related with me, then I don't understand why you perceive my vote as a punishment. I've supported other your noms on FPC and QIC (one just above). I have no right to left votes other than Support on FPC (may be there are sanctions?). Юрий Д.К. 14:43, 24 June 2026 (UTC)

Hi Notafly, geolocation added. I take most of my pictures of flora and fauna in Portugal. Please take a look at my page. -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 20:47, 1 August 2026 (UTC)
Olá, Alves Gaspar!
Queria partilhar contigo algumas das tuas fotografias que me inspiraram a criar as minhas. Não pretendo comparar a qualidade das imagens, mas apenas mostrar como fui seguindo os teus passos, tal como um aluno acompanha e aprende com o seu professor.
O fotógrafo
A fotografia que me inspirou
Curiosamente, esta imagem também inspirou o meu nome de utilizador. Durante muitos anos, usei o nome «The Phorographer».
Arquitetura e perspetiva
A fotografia que me inspirou
Neste caso, o aluno nunca superou o mestre. Queria agradecer-te sinceramente por contribuíres para o Wikimedia Commons com imagens tão frescas, cuidadas e visualmente limpas.
Também aprecio muito as tuas fotografias relacionadas com a costa e o mar, outro dos temas que mais me apaixonam.
Um abraço e obrigado por toda a inspiração! Wilfredor (talk) 17:13, 4 August 2026 (UTC)
Olá Wilfredor!
Não me parece que esse paradigma do mestre e aprendiz seja justa! Na realidade, até me deixa um pouco embaraçado, uma vez que não me considero um fotógrafo excepcional. Sobretudo nos aspectos técnicos, em que temos à nossa volta um número considerável de autores de grande categoria! Onde eu procuro fazer a diferença (nem sempre com sucesso, diga-se de passagem) é na fotografia como forma de arte. Continuo a entender, como escrevi no meu perfil do MOP, que "a interpretação da realidade é um componente importante da Fotografia, através da qual procuramos reconhecer a beleza e mostrá-la aos outros". É isso que eu procuro sempre fazer. A fotografia começa sempre "no campo", quando olhamos à nossa volta e reconhecemos, ou não, a tal beleza. Por vezes só a encontramos quando abrimos as imagens nos monitores. De qualquer modo, saber ver é - para mim - um dos principais talentos do fotógrafo-artista. A propósito, aqui está uma fotografia recente semelhante àquelas que mostraste acima. Alvesgaspar (talk) 10:54, 5 August 2026 (UTC)

Comments Support Good quality. QI, no doubt about it. Very good. The left eye could do with some work. The wing could do with some work; but I’d love it if someone would tell me how to take that sort of photo. --Lmbuga 23:11, 3 August 2026 (UTC)
