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 thingsNominatingGuidelines for nominatorsPlease 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 documentsThere 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." PhotographsOn 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 audioPlease nominate videos, sounds, music, etc. at Commons:Featured media candidates. Set nominationsIf 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 usersAdding a new nominationIf 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. VotingEditors 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 candidatesOver 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 policyGeneral rules
Featuring and delisting rulesA 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. 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 politePlease 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

It enshrines the burial place of the Sufi saint Salim Chisti, a descendant of Baba Farid, who lived in a cavern on the ridge at Sikri. Considered one of the finest examples of Mughal architecture in India, the mausoleum was built during the years 1580 and 1581 by Akbar, along with the imperial complex at Fatehpur Sikri near Zenana Rauza. created by Sharvarism - uploaded by Sharvarism - nominated by Sumit Surai -- Sumit Surai (talk) 04:04, 29 October 2024 (UTC)

- Just to be complete at this point: One nomination did not reach the necessary total number of votes and the other was a different version of this picture, whose nomination I had withdrawn after less than a day. Without going any further into the discussion here, I should have included the reference above (as I subsequently did) when I nominated it. I didn't have in mind at the time that the photo had already been here before. -- A. Öztas 11:13, 27 October 2024 (UTC)
- There is no strict rule about it but it is generally the case that we don't renominate a picture that has failed unless significant improvements have been made to it since the previous nomination. My support still stands in this case, but it isn't normally something we would do. Cmao20 (talk) 13:57, 27 October 2024 (UTC)

- You didn't have in mind that the structure had already been nominated twice? It's surprising. Anyway, too dark in my opinion -- Basile Morin (talk) 05:30, 28 October 2024 (UTC)
- The brief nomination that I withdrew after less than a day and the subsequent one felt like a single attempt to me and this was over a year ago – and quite a lot has happened since then. So yes, it simply slipped my mind. There's no reason to be surprised by that. It was pointed out, the reference was added, and that should suffice. As for the image, I understand that it might indeed appear a bit too dark. Whilst it can always change, at the moment it's just right for me, whether it's enough for an excellence rating or not. I appreciate your perspective and the time you've taken to review it. -- A. Öztas 16:43, 31 October 2024 (UTC)
- You're welcome to discuss here. "Brief nomination" but still three oppose, one question and one comment during this short time. Thus quite a logical withdrawal, in my opinion. We can of course AGF, but reciprocally, we, reviewers, remember that the two similar nominations failed not so long ago, for assumed fair reasons. As Ikan Kekek rightly said in a similar case "Not voting also counts as a lack of interest". Usually, it is obvious to the nominators that a photo has already been nominated, because they need to add "/2" at the end of the file name to create a new FPC, but here the file page has been renamed twice recently. With still no metadata. Of course, since the voters are not always the same at FPC every month, it can happen that a picture which failed the first time is finally promoted by insisting. But you should also understand, as you wrote after the first nomination "I will nominate the original as FP with the reasonable assumption that it will be rejected anyway", that the picture will struggle to pass, even though several of us reiterate their efforts to evaluate again. -- Basile Morin (talk) 02:14, 1 November 2024 (UTC)
- Discuss about what? After the first answer from you and me, everything was already said, or am I wrong? Of course, we are welcome to deepen the discussion, precisely because it is a topic that affects many aspects of the FP nomination processes and often offers room for different perspectives. In this context, I would like to address a few points that touch on both the past of previous nominations and the general guidelines for repeat submissions. As I mentioned, the first nomination was over a year ago. This distance in the time frame plays a role in my opinion, as it makes it clear that I did not submit the nomination of the structure out of a constant repetition so that it would, as you wrote, "finally be promoted by insisting". The motivation lies more in the fact that I continued to reflect on the image over time and adapted my own view of it. As a photographer, I often experience such processes; a certain development of my own view of the image. Photography, after all, is a medium through which we capture not just what we see, but what we feel at a given moment. And as those feelings evolve, so too can our interpretations of our own work. This growth is natural and, I believe, valuable to the community's understanding of a work as it evolves through the eyes of its creator. At the same time, I understand that for reviewers like you and others who regularly participate in the discussions, there is a certain habit and reminder value when similar or identical images are up for discussion again. What this has to do with AGF here is beyond me. I'm not as familiar with the practice in this area, I'm only on my fourth photo here. I see your references to a previous nomination as a helpful addition and not a criticism per se. The process of weighing up between a possible repetition and the search for new qualities in an image is essential and is shown in the current case by the different feedback and views. I would also like to note that my decision to quickly withdraw the previous nomination should not be understood as an endorsement of a "logical withdrawal". There were several factors at the time, including personal considerations, that led me to withdraw the nomination. It is true that this first nomination was - albeit briefly - on the table and led to reactions, but the circumstances were more complex than they appear at first glance. In my opinion, such a withdrawal should not be seen as a weakening factor for the quality of the picture itself, but as part of the individual process that each artist has to deal with. Furthermore, I would suggest having a broader discussion about the weighting of nominations that have already failed. Of course, there is no doubt that a clear majority should decide the relevance and quality of an image, but there may be cases where an image changes its relevance and quality over time. This could be due to technical improvements, a change in the community's perspective or simply time showing the work in a new light. Such an approach may well make sense for some FPC nominations, particularly for those images that have failed in the past but could potentially find new appreciation. After all, everything and nothing is set in stone here. With regard to the question about the brightness of the image, I agree that this is a subjective judgement and certainly open to discussion. The incidence of light and the colour scheme reflect the mood that I wanted to capture when taking the photograph and are not just technical parameters for me, but part of the aesthetic that I want to convey. Of course, the comment that the image may be perceived as too dark is justified and a question of personal taste - however, it is precisely this difference between subjective perception and objective quality that often leads to divergent assessments. Light plays a powerful role in shaping the emotional resonance of an image, influencing how viewers perceive and connect with it on a deeper level. By intentionally choosing a darker, more subdued lighting, I aimed to create an atmosphere that goes beyond a straightforward representation of the structure itself. This darkness, though perhaps unconventional, allows subtle textures and contrasts to emerge, lending the image a mysterious quality that invites viewers to look closer and consider the piece in a contemplative way. The interplay between shadows and faint highlights, in my view, captures a sense of introspection and draws attention to the sculptural lines of the structure. While brighter lighting may provide more clarity or detail, this more moody approach aligns with the feeling I experienced when taking the photograph, reflecting a quieter, almost meditative atmosphere. Shadows add depth and a sense of timelessness to the scene, suggesting that the image captures not just a single moment but a feeling that could exist outside of time. This play of light and shadow is a deliberate choice, one intended to evoke curiosity and to invite viewers into the scene, allowing them to experience the piece not merely as an architectural object but as a structure with an almost enigmatic presence. At least that's how I feel about this one. In the end, I understand that every image will resonate differently with each person who views it, and I fully respect the diverse perspectives within this community. The beauty of these discussions lies in their ability to reveal new interpretations and insights, both for the artist and for those who critique the work. I look forward to read more of your perspectives in other discussions as well, as these exchanges are invaluable not only for our individual growth but also for enriching the shared vision of what we seek to highlight here. -- A. Öztas 05:02, 1 November 2024 (UTC)

- Support Very cool, although I wish it was more perfectly centered. Cmao20 (talk) 13:16, 25 October 2024 (UTC)
- Weak support Indeed really cool, quality degrades a bit towards the borders, but all in all very impressive. I took the liberty to change the gallery link to our special gallery for ceilings of religious buildings. I will add a section for Algeria there if this nomination succeeds. – Aristeas (talk) 15:57, 25 October 2024 (UTC)
- Strong oppose Below the quality bar I'd expect for FP and the bottom crop is unfortunate causing also a lack of symmertry. If the subject would be complete I'd have gone for a square crop Poco a poco (talk) 17:07, 25 October 2024 (UTC)

- Comment A tripod would have helped, here. Unfortunately, a hand shot with high ISO and low depth of field impacts the quality -- Basile Morin (talk) 01:50, 26 October 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose Per Poco a poco. If you don't have a tripod at hand, simply place the camera on the floor, select ISO100 and a medium aperture. Je-str (talk) 11:02, 26 October 2024 (UTC)

- Support --MZaplotnik(talk) 15:48, 26 October 2024 (UTC)
- Weak oppose In addition to the technical problems caused by the absence of tripod, the viewpoint was not in the center. As a consequence, the circles are not concentric. And the crop is tighter at the bottom than at the top, making the composition unbalanced -- Basile Morin (talk) 02:18, 27 October 2024 (UTC)
- Support At least crop sides - shadow part. It could be better, but tripod in Mosque, normally not possible. Even camera-photo can be problem. --Mile (talk) 11:41, 28 October 2024 (UTC)
- No need for a tripod to a get a HQ shot from a ceiling. I have done it so many times... I'm surprised and disappointed by the support this image is getting. The camera was off-centered, so that the arches on left and right are not symmetrical at all, the cop is a mess and the quality low. Poco a poco (talk) 14:06, 1 November 2024 (UTC)
- Weak oppose In the top left corner (please see annotation) there is a yellow coloration on the white surface, which indicates a subsequent coloring within a poorly made selection. However, this is only an assumption. Also, the saturation of the image seems too high to me. I would also suggest a square crop in favor of a more balanced composition. Also, I have to partially agree with the opponents above that the FP standard for church interiors is higher than this one. Nevertheless, the subject is great, and with careful reworking it would have a chance of becoming FP. I am very sorry. -- Radomianin (talk) 15:15, 1 November 2024 (UTC)
- Addendum: If you look at the original version, you can see a more natural coloring. Another indication of subsequent editing, which in my opinion was not done carefully enough. I would like to ask the nominator/editor to place a retouching template with the done work on the file page. Many thanks in advance. Best regards, -- Radomianin (talk) 15:33, 1 November 2024 (UTC)
- Hi, feel free to edit the image and add the template. I have done my best to ensure that the picture aligns with the FP standards. Riad Salih (talk) 21:01, 1 November 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you for your reply, Riad Salih. I am sure you have done your best to meet the FP standard. For this, the community thanks you, because every volunteer is needed to keep this project alive. And your work is just as valuable as that of any other volunteer. But participation in this forum thrives on constructive criticism that helps the volunteers maintain the professional standards of the FP project. I too have evolved over the past few years by trying to accept criticism and develop my skills. My suggestion was only meant as an advice to provide with the template the necessary transparency on the file page. If my criticism was perceived as disrespectful, I sincerely apologize.

- Info Human running gait - terminal swing to heel strike (runner with Asics Metaspeed Edge "Paris"; 2024 Ljubljana Marathon). My shot. --Mile (talk) 12:20, 24 October 2024 (UTC)
- Info 2 I had luck with this shot. Showing running gait: runner going from terminal swing to heel strike. Hard part was to get at this focal, right angle in perfect background-foreground, fluorescent colors of (new ?!) footwear. Actually croped OOC, AdobeRGB (⇔ Uncalibrated). Good Educational value.

- Is the picture free of any copyright issue concerning the Asics logo on the shoes?
- What gender and what age is the runner? I think you should include these kind of details in the file description. -- Wikisquack (talk) 17:55, 24 October 2024 (UTC)

- Comment @Granada I wanted to write at Info, actually what friend asked me "How many tries did i have ?", he is profesional, i told 1/100, with new shoes 1/500. With Zuiko 50-200 mm + adapter, Single Focus maybe even less. Try it. Your sport shot are more by sharp angle, thats is easy shot. This angle is "worst" for photographer. That is big Wow for me...and obviously some profesionals too. --Mile (talk) 10:01, 27 October 2024 (UTC)
- You're absolutely right, I take it the easy way. That's the reason I never get shots with a wow and never nominate at FPC. Granada (talk) 14:31, 27 October 2024 (UTC)

Closing a featured picture promotion request
The bot
Note that the description below is for manual closure, this is mostly not needed anymore as there exists a bot (FPCBot) that counts the votes and handles the process below. However after the bot has counted the votes a manual review step is used to make sure the count is correct before the bot again picks up the work.
Manual procedure
Any experienced user may close requests.
- In Commons:Featured picture candidates/candidate list click on the title/link of the candidate image, then [edit].
Add the result of the voting at the bottom (on a new line with a space first)
(for example see Commons:Featured picture candidates/File:The Bridge (August 2013).jpg). See also {{FPC-results-reviewed}}.
{{FPC-results-reviewed|support=x|oppose=x|neutral=x|featured=("yes" or "no")|gallery=xxx (leave blank if "featured=no")|sig=~~~~}} - Also edit the title of the candidate image template and add after the image tag
featured or not featured
For example:
=== [[:File:XXXXX.jpg]] ===
becomes
=== [[:File:XXXXX.jpg]], featured === - Save your edit.
- If it is featured:
- Add the picture to the list of the four most recently featured pictures of an appropriate gallery of Commons:Featured pictures, list as the first one and delete the last one, so that the number is four again.
- Also add the picture to the appropriate gallery and section of Commons:Featured pictures, list. Click on the most appropriate link beneath where you just added it as one of the four images. An image should only appear ONE time in the galleries. After a successful nomination, the image can be placed in several of the Featured pictures categories.
- Add the template {{Assessments|featured=1}} to the image description page.
- If it was an alternative image, use the subpage/com-nom parameter: For example, if File:Foo.jpg was promoted at Commons:Featured picture candidates/File:Bar.jpg, use {{Assessments|featured=1|com-nom=Bar.jpg}}
- If the image is already featured on another wikipedia, just add featured=1 to the Assessments template. For instance {{Assessments|enwiki=1}} becomes {{Assessments|enwiki=1|featured=1}}
- Add the picture to the chronological list of featured pictures. Put it in the gallery using this format: File:xxxxx.jpg|# - '''Headline'''<br>created by [[User:xxxxx|xxxxx]], uploaded by [[User:xxxxx|xxxxx]], nominated by [[User:xxxxx|xxxxx]]
- The # should be replaced by 1 for the first image nominated that month, and counts up after that. Have a look at the other noms on that page for examples.
- You may simplify this if multiple things were done by the same user. E.g.: File:xxxxx.jpg|# - '''Headline'''<br>created, uploaded, and nominated by [[User:xxxxx|xxxxx]]
- Add == FP promotion ==
{{FPpromotion|File:XXXXX.jpg}} to the Talk Page of the nominator.
- As the last step (whether the image is featured or not; including {{FPX}}ed, {{FPD}}ed and withdrawn nominations), open Commons:Featured picture candidates/candidate list, click on [edit], and find the transclusion of the nomination you've just finished closing. It will be of the form:
{{Commons:Featured picture candidates/File:XXXXX.jpg}}
Copy it to the bottom of Commons:Featured picture candidates/Log/November 2024), save that page, and remove it from the candidate list.
Closing a delisting request
- In Commons:Featured picture candidates/candidate list click on the title/link of the candidate image, then [edit].
Add the result of the voting at the bottom (on a new line with a space first)
'''Result:''' x delist, x keep, x neutral => /not/ delisted. ~~~~
(for example see Commons:Featured picture candidates/removal/Image:Astrolabe-Persian-18C.jpg) - Also edit the title of the delisting candidate image template and add after the image tag
delisted or not delisted
For example:
=== [[:File:XXXXX.jpg]] === becomes === [[:File:XXXXX.jpg]], delisted === - Move the actual template from Commons:Featured picture candidates/candidate list to the bottom of the actual month page on Commons:Featured picture candidates/Log/November 2024.
- If the outcome was not delisted, stop here. If it is delisted:
- Remove the picture from Commons:Featured pictures, list and any subpages.
- Edit the picture's description as follows:
- Replace the template {{Featured picture}} on the image description page by {{Delisted picture}}. If using the {{Assessments}} template, change featured=1 to featured=2 (do not change anything related to its status in other featured picture processes).
- Remove the image from all categories beginning with "Featured [pictures]" (example: Featured night photography, Featured pictures from Wiki Loves Monuments 2016, Featured pictures of Paris).
- Remove the "Commons quality assessment" claim (d:Property:P6731) "Wikimedia Commons featured picture" from the picture's Structured data.
- Add a delisting-comment to the original entry in chronological list of featured pictures in bold-face, e. g. delisted 2007-07-19 (1-6) with (1-6) meaning 1 keep and 6 delist votes (change as appropriate). The picture in the gallery is not removed.
- If this is a Delist and Replace, the delisting and promotion must both be done manually. To do the promotion, follow the steps in the above section. Note that the assessment tag on the file page and the promotion tag on the nominator's talk page won't pick up the /replace subpage that these nominations use.
Manual archiving of a withdrawn nomination
- In Commons:Featured picture candidates/candidate list click on the title/link of the candidate image, then [edit].
In the occasion that the FPCbot will not mark withdrawn nominations with a "to be reviewed" template and put them in Category:Featured picture candidates awaiting closure review just like if they were on the usual list, put the following "no" template:
{{FPC-results-reviewed|support=X|oppose=X|neutral=X|featured=no|gallery=|sig=--~~~~}} - Also edit the title of the candidate image template and add after the image tag
not featured
For example:
=== [[:File:XXXXX.jpg]] ===
becomes
=== [[:File:XXXXX.jpg]], not featured === - Save your edit.
- Open Commons:Featured picture candidates/candidate list, click on [edit], and find the transclusion of the nomination. It will be of the form:
{{Commons:Featured picture candidates/File:XXXXX.jpg}}
Copy it to the bottom of Commons:Featured picture candidates/Log/November 2024), save that page, and remove it from the candidate list.
