Tauride Palace in Saint Petersburg, Russia was designed by Ivan Starov for Prince Grigory Potemkin and constructed from 1783 to 1789. It later housed the first Imperial State Duma (1906–1917) and the post-revolution provisional government. Two views offered: aerial of the entire palace and grounds, and street level of the main entrance.

  • Hi Diliff- I’ve done a few helicopter shoots and this one was fairly challenging as regulations did not allow for flying over land (only over the rivers and canals) within SPB central district, no hovering was permitted and a fairly fast rate of forward motion was required. I was able to shoot through a sliding window, though it was a tight fit at times due to the angle of the lens. It felt very rushed so I am very lucky (IMO) to have gotten some of the images I did.--Godot13 (talk) 01:16, 3 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Well I suppose we could delist the second one if you think the first one is better. But there is no reason to have 2 featured pictures of the same thing, this is not normal for featured picture and has been grounds for opposition in the past. How many picture of stairs going in a circle do we need? Mattximus (talk) 13:26, 5 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Mattximus: I oppose delisting. These are simple two different staircases, i can understand delisting one of two shots of same stuff. How many pictures: my is from above, you can have from bottom too (and FP picture is from bottom), its different, and you can have wooden staircase also... many, but different. Or, if you go like this, what will be feutered pic for tomorrow, following one per "each" category. Wiki Commons is more reliable on this. I had case with this shot here, almost failed because of "rules". In Commons, rules are rules, but our thinking prevail first. So, no delisting, normal voting of different stuff. --PetarM (talk) 06:55, 6 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I guess then I would oppose on EV grounds. A second picture of a staircase shot from a visually similar angle does not add any new encyclopedic value to the article on stairs. It is a nice photograph though! Mattximus (talk) 13:42, 6 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

If the animal in the image was a male, would the caption read "male tiger"? No? Then clearly in common usage "tiger" = "male animal" and the female should be referred to by its name of "tigress". Otherwise, we are assuming that male = normal/standard/default and everything else must be tagged to clarify what it is. MurielMary (talk) 01:17, 20 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Also, following your logic @Thnidu:, if "tiger" = "male and female animals" then the caption should actually read "Maya, a tiger". MurielMary (talk) 01:19, 20 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@MurielMary: (Not a vote, just continuing a discussion.) Not necessarily. We can use "deer" for an adult animal of that type of either sex, but we also have the option of saying "doe" or "stag" as appropriate. As I said above, "Not necessary to change female tiger to tigress. Either way is OK."
Dog words are similar to "tiger/tigress". From Quora: In the breeder's world, a male dog is simply called a "dog." (Females are called "bitches.") In the breed ring you have classes for "dogs" and classes for "bitches." Only males show as dogs, and only females show as bitches.

Reason
Peter Tatchell is a British human rights campaigner who is particularly well known for his LGBT activism. The photo was taken by me on the balcony of his London flat. The bold red background complements well the black shirt. For an article that spans 50 years of campaigning, it is good to have a high-quality up-to-date photo.

Original – Self-portrait of Marie-Gabrielle Capet (1761–1818), a French Neoclassical painter. She came from a modest background and her previous background and artistic training is unknown, but in 1781 she became the pupil of the French painter Adelaide Labille-Guiard in Paris. She excelled as a portrait painter, and her works include oil paintings, watercolours and miniatures.
Reason
Another gem from the Google Art Project. Marie-Gabrielle Capet. A lesser known neoclassical female painter. A student of Adélaïde Labille-Guiard. She's seen it all folks. The Ancien Régime. The French Revolution. And of course, Napoleon. And she still managed to be a quite an admirable personality and painter throughout all the turmoil.

  •  Comment: Bammesk: This is shot around 1h before sunset over there, since you forgot its winter, sun is comming from south where hills are, on a cloudy day which give better colors since clouds werent strong. Which shot this one or could you show similar ? If you check Island and see trees, its obviously sunset is about to come. In 1h-1,5 h there is sunset. So would you like to reconsider your statement ?! Or i put original here as well ? Situtation where i was standing was already in shadow, with some lake also which can be seen on picture. And i even planned to be there at sunset. --PetarM (talk) 08:40, 22 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Kamera of Bled Lake, and original file. Criteria 8... putting false statement is something like lying to all here. Be careful Bammersk. --PetarM (talk) 09:18, 22 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • I stand by what I wrote, but the language could have been better. That's probably why you said "false statement". I have clarified the language. I think the original file looks better. Bammesk (talk) 02:51, 23 November 2016 (UTC) . . . since you warned me about lying, which I think is absurd, here are some details: 1- the angle of shadows is 30 degrees, hence midday (BTW the image timestamp is 1:40pm, which is false), 2- the sun is casting a shadow, hence sunny, 3- the image is manipulated (in other words [10], adjusted in software), 4- the deep blue color of the sky and foreground makes the image look like an evening shot, my opinion, sort of similar to this image, 5- the combination of the 30 degree shadows and the deep blue colors makes the image look unnatural enough, in my opinion, to call the adjustment excessive.[reply]
  • Oppose the main feature of the lake, the church, is almost indiscernible in the far distance. As per Sca's comment above, the image is mainly foreground of the sea. MurielMary (talk) 21:57, 22 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose – per above. Too much foreground. Mostly just water. Mattximus (talk) 00:08, 23 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. It is a picture of a lake. It is not suprising that there is a lot of water. What do you expect? I think it is a lovely composition. The only criticism I would make is that it's not very clear that the church is on an island rather than a peninsula jutting into the lake. Even so, it is a good picture. I don't know about any manipulation. The lighting looks natural enough to me. 86.185.218.189 (talk) 20:28, 23 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose Poor composition. The focus is on generic water, not the lake, its specific features and its setting. --ELEKHHT 22:48, 24 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
