- Gallery: Commons:Featured pictures/Places/Natural#Vietnam
- Info created and uploaded by Dave Bunnell, nominated by Yann
- Support Zoom in and check the man to have an idea of the scale. This is one of biggest cave in the world. And we don't have many FPs from Vietnam. -- Yann (talk) 18:10, 9 January 2024 (UTC)
- Support per nomination, a very impressive place. Cmao20 (talk) 20:13, 9 January 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose Sorry, an interesting cave, but the light is flat and not optimal to show the cave in a spectacular way. Even with the man (once you've found him), you don't really get a feel for the size of the place. Not well edited in post either, cloning/stitching errors at the borders, I'm comparing with our other FP caves at: Commons:Featured pictures/Natural phenomena#Caves, (you might want to change the gallery to that). Edited version if you want it. --Cart (talk) 21:58, 9 January 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks. I have asked Dave if he agrees with overwriting with your version. If no answer, I will propose an alternative. Yann (talk) 10:04, 10 January 2024 (UTC)
- No problem, good original to work with, but I don't think my version should be used to overwrite the original as it changes it too much. --Cart (talk) 10:23, 10 January 2024 (UTC)
- I don't understand the gallery "Natural phenomena#Caves". IMO caves are not phenomena, but places. A phenomena is a an event which takes place at a particular time. Yann (talk) 18:26, 10 January 2024 (UTC)´
- In a wider sense in English, a natural phenomena can also mean something spectacular and long-lasting that has been formed by completely by nature. I guess those who created that page went with the Wikipedia definition of the term. See: List of natural phenomena. The word "phenomena" often means a bit different things in different languages. I sure wouldn't try to implement how it is used in Swedish here. ;-) --Cart (talk) 18:44, 10 January 2024 (UTC)
- Well, English WP definition says A natural phenomenon is an observable event which is not man-made. I will stick with the current gallery. Yann (talk) 18:59, 10 January 2024 (UTC)
- The list includes 'erosion', and caves are a subsection of Erosion landforms. The 'Natural phenomena' gallery page included even more things before, but as we've got more FPs they have been moved into new galleries. Look, I know we are in a sort of "don't use gallery pages created by Cart movement" right now, but this is not something I've made, it's been like that for years long before I started helping out with the galleries. The caves were on the 'Others' section earlier on the "natural phenomena" page, but as more of them got promoted, a section for them was created. You are of course free to select a gallery page, but to me it makes sense to have photos caves gathered in one place. --Cart (talk) 19:11, 10 January 2024 (UTC)
- Your edited version increases the saturation too much in relation to what the cave actually looks like, IMHO. 206.123.195.165 01:58, 12 January 2024 (UTC)
- Oh! That was unintentional, I never touched the saturation just worked with the light a bit. It was probably a side-effect from not pushing the whites so much plus some contrast. I've de-saturated the version a bit to compensate. Thanks for your comment. --Cart (talk) 11:08, 13 January 2024 (UTC)
