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, 2025 and current month. For another overview of our finest pictures, take a look at our annual picture of the year election. |

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 name, quality, image description, categories 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

Oppose Sorry, nothing really wrong with it but the composition and light are not outstanding for FP in my opinion.

- You have no idea how difficult it is to take a good photo of this location under good lighting conditions. It's very rare that lighting conditions like those shown in the nominated image exist. Usually, there's fog or dust in the atmosphere. Since you're rejecting the photo anyway, I won't ask for a file renaming. Thanks. Petro Stelte (talk) 16:45, 2 July 2025 (UTC)
Comment Hello, Petro Stelte, and welcome to FPC. I can understand frustration at a negative review on your first nomination (though, trust me, negative reviews are most often the case for first nominations and negative reviews are also essential for keeping FPs outstanding) but it is always a good idea to respond politely to good faith critique. As for the image, I agree with Cmao20 regarding the composition and I also think the left crop is a bit tight. But as a good quality documentation of what seems to be a site of some importance, with sufficient detail, I offer

Info Antler coral can grow to more than a metre in diameter. Research has shown that the coral is more likely to grow if it hosts a colony of blue damselfish. The coral offers the damselfish protection; the larger the coral, the better the protection. Blue damselfish are known as ‘interference competitors’. They chase other fish away, including some species that eat coral. All by Charlesjsharp -- Charlesjsharp (talk) 18:50, 30 June 2025 (UTC)

Info Spot-fin porcupinefish (Diodon hystrix), Cabo Pulmo, Baja California, Mexico. The spot-fin porcupinefish is a medium-sized fish which grows up to 91 centimetres (36 in), but the average size mostly observed is 40 centimetres (16 in). In case of danger, the porcupinefish can inflate itself by swallowing water to deter the potential predator with its larger volume and it can raise its spines. The porcupinefish concentrates tetrodotoxin (a strong neurotoxin that are destructive to nerve tissue) in certain parts of its body such as the liver, skin, gonads and the viscera. This defensive system constitutes an additional device to dissuade potential predators. The porcupinefish is circumglobal, found in tropical and subtropical waters. The porcupinefish's diet is based on sea urchins, gastropods, clams and crustaceans. This fish is solitary, except during mating periods, and it has a nocturnal activity with a maximal activity at sunset and sunrise. Note: surprisingly there are no FPs of the family Diodontidae (blowfishes, also know as balloonfishes or globefishes) on Commons. c/u/n by Poco a poco (talk) 18:31, 30 June 2025 (UTC)

Info The Chapel of the Maccabees, also known as the Notre-Dame collegial chapel, was transformed into a storage facility for salt and gunpowder during the Reformation, however, by the close of the 17th century, it served as the location for philosophical lectures held by the Academy, an early form of Geneva University. Currently, it is one of the most visited tourist-cultural places in Geneva, guests can participate in concerts hosted in this historic venue and it is also utilized for weddings and family events. The stained glass windows in the Chapel of the Maccabees in Geneva, are attributed to the workshop of Janin Loyel, dating back to around 1460.

Weak oppose Quality is fine but the result of the top crop is an unbalanced image, the crop is fine at the bottom but too tight at the top, sorry Poco a poco (talk) 20:56, 30 June 2025 (UTC)
Comment @Poco a poco, @Chris Woodrich, @UnpetitproleX, @Yann, @Cart, following a fair criticism the image underwent a slight modification. Thanks Diego, luckily I still have enough pixels at the top, and by adding them the main scene depicted rightly takes the center of the image. So I do not present an alternative, but I modified the current image to not have two identical images on Wikimedia. -- Terragio67 (talk) 04:34, 01 July 2025 (UTC)
Weak oppose The image is in cropped form.-- E.IMANCOMMONS 07:37, 1 July 2025 (UTC)
- Hello E.IMAN, the purpose of this picture is to show in detail the central part or the main window's scene depicted and not the entire window. For this reason I added the suffix "Details" in the jpg image name. Kind regards. Terragio67 (talk) 12:08, 1 July 2025 (UTC)
Oppose Unsatisfying composition in my view, because the top seems awkwardly cropped. Both this version and the previous one (that was slightly better, unfortunately) -- Basile Morin (talk) 04:32, 2 July 2025 (UTC)

Support Very good perspective, light and colours. It’s more or less impossible to avoid cropping the gravestones, one could only avoid this with a different point of view, but that would probably result in a less impressive perspective. Therefore IMHO the only sensible critique is about the car; but it’s not too prominent, so OK. – Aristeas (talk) 13:28, 1 July 2025 (UTC)

Support OMG, FPC regulars are getting so picky these days (especially with photos not taken by themselves ;–). This is a stunning view, a grand panorama, and we grumble about the shadows … IMHO the large shady area provides a great contrast to the sunny areas, and this makes the photo even more interesting. – Aristeas (talk) 13:17, 1 July 2025 (UTC)

Info A beautiful summer night in Nacka Nature Reserve. The Nacka Reserve consists mostly of ancient woodland and lakes and is an important and unique natural area very close to central Stockholm. Created, uploaded and nominated by ArildV -- ArildV (talk) 07:44, 28 June 2025 (UTC)

Support Nice colours and composition Cmao20 (talk) 11:15, 28 June 2025 (UTC)
Comment Nackareservatet is a really lovely place and the photo is a good example of mixed conifer forests, but I think this photo might be a bit too much into the magenta on the color balance scale. Good categories, but the info should be in the description too. It is helpful if readers don't need to backtrack through the categories to find out the location of the nature reserve.

- Thank you, that's better. (Btw, I just noticed a very thin white border to the left when I opened this against a black background.) It's a nice enough forest, but I think it lacks some focal point in the image. It might have been better with more of the path included or a light gradient on the trees. --Cart (talk) 17:41, 28 June 2025 (UTC)

Question The greens seem oversaturated, but may be that's only me? I also like better the light above. Yann (talk) 14:45, 1 July 2025 (UTC)
Comment Agree that the greens (esp. in the bottom part) are very saturated; the red and blue channels are mostly zero there (clipping), only the green channel provides information. Reducing the saturation only for the green tones would improve this, and/or using a RGB colour space with better support for saturated greens (Adobe RGB, DCI-P3). However I cannot assess how a Scandinavian summer night should look like in a photo, it’s quite possible that it leads to dark saturated colours, and as Famberhorst has put it the atmosphere is decisive here. - Aristeas (talk) 15:09, 2 July 2025 (UTC)

- Moving horses are a challenge, much less six of them, but the riders interested me. I wanted to do something a little out of the ordinary for FP, where static images tend to predominate, including in my own shots. Acroterion (talk) 01:08, 27 June 2025 (UTC)
- I know! I tried some jousting photography... can't imagine getting six horses at once, all at a gallop. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 01:22, 27 June 2025 (UTC)
- Even with the slow-moving horse in the other FP candidate, one hoof is a little blurred. And different parts of a moving horse go in different directions, quickly, while the rider's doing something else. These weren't fully galloping, but it makes little difference if it's a trot, canter or gallop. Nearly every FP we have of horses is static, and of those few that are moving, most have blur somewhere. - Acroterion (talk) 01:26, 27 June 2025 (UTC)

Info created by Annemarie Schwarzenbach, restored, uploaded, and nominated by Yann
Info Annemarie Schwarzenbach and Ella Maillart went from Geneva to Kabul in 1939 with a Ford. Westerners travelling to Afghanistan by car was already something very unusual at the time, not to mention two women alone. This amazing journey is narrated in Maillart's book The Cruel Way. More information available at [1]. We are lucky that the Swiss National Library released many images by Schwarzenbach in the public domain. Torkham is the border between Afghanistan and Pakistan, also known as Khyber Pass.

Question - What is the dark fringe coming down from the sky? — Chris Woodrich (talk) 01:03, 27 June 2025 (UTC)

Support I think this photo deserves a little bit of love (or at least some attention ;–). The size/resolution is not giant and not everything is tack sharp, but we all know how difficult it is to get a good photo from a concert. The compo and the colours are very good; no unfortunate crop of an arm or leg, no irritating elements, etc., as we often see in concert photos. And for a smartphone the quality is very good: even at pixel level this image looks like a real photo, not like the usual overcooked mash traditionally delivered by phones. – Aristeas (talk) 08:57, 27 June 2025 (UTC)
- Thanks, Aristeas! The S25 is handling itself quite well, and the fact that the phone has a RAW mode is definitely helping... I just wish I had control over the f number. 3.2 is good for relatively low-light environments, but given that the bokeh isn't the best I would have preferred a 4 or a 4.5 for a bit more DOF. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 10:59, 27 June 2025 (UTC)

- Not according to Tagooty! I am happy not to mention no. of FPs, but I imagined some voters wll want to compare similar images... Charlesjsharp (talk) 19:42, 29 June 2025 (UTC)
- I believe an FPC is judged relative to existing FPs and current state-of-the-art. Commons policy states that FPs are "the finest on Commons" and "our main goal is to feature most valuable pictures from all others" (from Commons:Featured_picture_candidates#Featured_picture_candidate_policy). FPs are divided into many galleries. Nominators and reviewers often make comments such as "no (or only one) existing FP of this species/genus/building/...", "oppose as it is similar to a recently promoted FP", etc. From policy and practise, it seems to me that the FP community looks for an FPC to be among the finest in a gallery or other restricted context.
IMO the image under discussion is excellent, displays great skill of the photographer, his use of good techniques and equipment. So is the existing FP of a surface reflection of the same species of shark taken in the same photo shoot < 2 minutes later. Note that the linked FP gallery has only 9 images, three of which are from this one species out of 60 species of requiem sharks. Tagooty (talk) 12:44, 30 June 2025 (UTC)

Oppose You made the nomination absolutely fine, don't worry about that at all. However unfortunately I can't support this one. It's not bad per sé and I think it is definitely a useful contribution to the project that illustrates the building well. But I don't think it compares well to others in the category. The sharpness is not there at full size, and also we would normally ask for perspective correction in a shot like this, so that the towers don't look like they are falling backwards. I also think it's a bit of a shame there are so many people in the image, but that isn't a deal breaker for me. Cmao20 (talk) 22:10, 23 June 2025 (UTC)
Oppose Well done nomination even though you are not an FPC regular. Unfortunately, I have to agree with Cmao20, although I don't mind people per se in architecture photos, just cut people. This photo is from 2011 when digital cameras just didn't have good enough sensors yet. If you want to nominate digital photos, a good tip is to select those made after 2016 when sensors got better. --Cart (talk) 22:28, 23 June 2025 (UTC)

Info White wooden house with a small beach and an old motorboat of Pettersson type in Norra Grundsund, Lysekil Municipality, Sweden.
- Even though much of the Swedish west coast is afflicted by tourism, there are places like this where little has changed. Houses that are renovated or replaced, stay true to the previous designs. Even the carefully preserved small motorboat is the same as some 80 years ago.

- Honestly not seeing any quality flaw here. The worst I can see is that the far left of the image is not quite as sharp as the rest, likely because the lens's edge sharpness is a little less. But even that looks well within acceptable limits to me. Can you tell me where you are seeing these issues Osmo Lundell? Cmao20 (talk) 02:40, 26 June 2025 (UTC)
- Yes, this camera has a noticeable un-sharpness along the borders. That is why I made this from three photos, so that I could cut away the worst of the un-sharp borders. On the left side the worst part of the un-sharp edge is actually cut away (the total pano is actually larger than this), leaving just the passable part. --Cart (talk) 17:22, 27 June 2025 (UTC)

Comment Hi ARABCREATOR7, the categories for this photo were a total mess, but I've cleared them up best I could for you and added a few other relevant ones. The date for the photo should not be the upload date, so I changed it to the date provided by the camera's Exif data. Since this is a studio photo, no exact location is required. I know this is an official photo, but it could be better edited in post-processing, it's a bit overexposed in the bright areas and a few other small things can be fixed. I've made a suggestion for you here. You can use it however you like (overwrite or upload). Best, --Cart (talk) 18:18, 23 June 2025 (UTC)

- TBH, I would consider the problem with the subject to be a reason to support, rather than oppose—an FP of him would mean the picture can be a POTD, where, in the caption, one could talk about his position, his politics, the reforms he has undertaken, and indeed the assassinations he has ordered, with a careful consideration of due weight according to reliable sources. Same goes for other political (and otherwise) figures. We must not conflate support for FP with endorsement of the subject. UnpetitproleX (Talk) 21:05, 24 June 2025 (UTC)
- The photos we promote here are primarily for encyclopedias and such works contains images of some pretty bad things too. We have a lot of them already, just look in the 'History' section. It can be very hard to look at some of these images and stay neutral as we should (trust me, I made the first free image of Kim Jong Un, a revolting task, but the image was needed for articles). But this is how it is to collect high quality images for the wiki work. It would look rather loop-sided if only the nice images were good and all the bad images also had bad quality. --Cart (talk) 00:49, 25 June 2025 (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/July 2025), 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/July 2025.
- 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.

- 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/July 2025), save that page, and remove it from the candidate list.
