To prevent archiving use {{subst:DNAU}}, because SpBot archives all sections after 90 days, unless archiving has been postponed or suppressed through the use of {{subst:DNAU}}. You can ask the bot to archive a section earlier by using {{Section resolved|1=~~~~}} – then it will be archived after 7 days.

Review

Hello,

I would appreciate a review about these images, thanks.

First pic: backlit lighting, average image quality (phone camera + typical phone denoising). The colors are a bit odd because the shadows are extremely saturated blue. Second pic: also backlit lighting (though the editing has rescued it slightly) and much worse sharpness (seems to have been upscaled a lot), and still overly strong saturation. As such I don't think they would make it at QI or FP. But overall, these photos are still valuable contributions since this part of Algeria doesn't have a lot of photos, so thank you for your contributions! dllu (talk) 21:15, 18 September 2026 (UTC)

Adding on to say upscaling is frowned upon generally. If you didn't already, set your iPhone to shoot in RAW and then process the RAWs in LR. As per dllu, what is more important is the significance of these photos. JayCubby (talk) 21:24, 18 September 2026 (UTC)

Ok thanks, i'll for next photos to take it in RAW. Tasye24 (talk) 07:55, 19 September 2026 (UTC)

Swamp in the Fall

Looking for suggestions on anything I should have done differently to improve these pictures. I'm trying to capture the color of the early-fall foliage with the natural beauty of the wetland. I'm especially uncertain about my skills with composition; if there's some other angle I should have captured instead I could certainly go back there and try again while the trees are still colorful. I know I have a dust spot I need to deal with too. Thanks for any feedback you can provide. — PeterCooperJr (talk) 12:45, 5 October 2026 (UTC)
