File:ON-mount-Sabre Cat Frost Atronach.jpg

 

A lovely image of a mount. High res, no rider, and complementary colours.

  • Support: As nominator. —⁠Legoless (talk) 15:41, 15 March 2022 (UTC)
  • Support: He's a fine boi. A great image for the reasons listed by nominator. --AKB Talk Cont Mail 16:10, 15 March 2022 (UTC)
  • Oppose: While the angle its taken at is honestly perfect, it blends into the background way way too much for me too consider it good (white-blue ice on white-blue tiles mixes). If it was retaken with the same angle quite literally anywhere else I'd support it. The Rim of the Sky (talk) 20:21, 15 March 2022 (UTC)

File:ON-npc-Shilli.jpg

 

I'm surprised no one has nominated this image yet. The NPC is in an interesting pose and takes up most of the frame, and the image isn't too dark. This exceeds the expectations for a good NPC image.

I am once again petitioning for your attention: please focus it on this. Why I like this image: big Dragon go "swoosh". Thank you.

  • Support: As nominator. -MolagBallet (talk) 00:28, 17 September 2021 (UTC)
  • Oppose: Looks like the dragon is T-posing to me. But more than that, the way its wing is positioned fills the image in an unappealing way. I think the image is an awkward angle. Croaker (talk) 04:47, 11 November 2021 (UTC)
  • Weak Oppose: I think the pose its landing at is fine but the angle is odd The Rim of the Sky (talk) 21:13, 14 November 2021 (UTC)
  • Oppose: Dragons are one of the hardest things in any game to get a good shot of that also looks right, this was a very impressive angle and timing to catch but the dragon looks quite awkward by my book. Dcking20 (talk) 02:15, 17 November 2021 (UTC)

File:ON-npc-Clan Mother Tadali.jpg

 

This image is pretty simple yet cute, and the Alfiq is framed nicely within the shot itself, showcasing the cultural clothing of a Khajiiti clan mother.

  • Support: As nominator. Zebendal (talk) 20:41, 13 September 2021 (UTC)
  • Neutral: It's well framed, but it's just an NPC shot. —⁠Legoless (talk) 08:54, 14 September 2021 (UTC)
  • Neutral: I agree with Legoless. It's a very nice shot: the subject is very clear, and the lighting is good, but she's idle. She's not in a particularly interesting pose or performing an action, just looking straight ahead. If she were doing something more than just sitting, I would definitely endorse it. -MolagBallet (talk) 23:18, 16 September 2021 (UTC)

File:ON-quest-The Bleeding Temple.jpg

 

Have I ever publicly commended The Rim of the Sky for his photography skills? Because I should commend The Rim of the Sky for his photography skills. I can't tell you how many iconic shots I've seen on the UESP that he's taken.

The drama, the intrigue, the danger... it's all captured in a wonderfully centered shot. A bit red, but what can you do? There's a sea of innocent blood in the sewers beneath the Temple.

  • Support: As nominator. -MolagBallet (talk) 14:47, 28 June 2021 (UTC)
  • Support: An excellent shot. —⁠Legoless (talk) 07:37, 12 July 2021 (UTC)
  • Comment: Would support, but the Xivkyn in the shot is barely discernible from its background. Some color correction could likely rectify this. -Dcsg (talk) 01:18, 23 July 2021 (UTC)
  • Oppose: Too dark and a touch too busy, can barely make out what's being shown. Croaker (talk) 04:47, 11 November 2021 (UTC)
  • Comment: Thank you again for the compliments! :) as for the lighting, unfortunately that's just how eso is for the most part. There might be a way to take a clearer shot by adjusting graphics (maybe even toggling npc aura and changing the color), but the easiest way to take a better shot would probably be using modded add-ons. I do think the angle of the shot is very good but I don't feel fair voting The Rim of the Sky (talk) 07:06, 14 November 2021 (UTC)
  • Weak Oppose: personally not blown away by the shot Dcking20 (talk) 02:01, 17 November 2021 (UTC)

What a fantastic action shot. No UI elements mid-combat in what must have been a difficult moment to capture.

  • Support: As nominator. —⁠Legoless (talk) 13:23, 7 May 2021 (UTC)
  • Mild Support: I'm not super enthusiastic about this image, but I appreciate the gloomy mood, as well as the contrast between the dark environment and the minotaur's red glow. -MolagBallet (talk) 18:37, 19 June 2021 (UTC)
  • Oppose: Large number of creature images currently proposed for FI. I'd like some variety in subject matter. Croaker (talk) 04:47, 11 November 2021 (UTC)
  • Support: Personally I don't take difficulty into account much when voting, going to be biased here but I really like the image. The Rim of the Sky (talk) 21:13, 14 November 2021 (UTC)
  • Neutral: I’m not down to vote in favor of any Minotaur image to FA until the amazing shot of winged Domihaus is featured, even with the player in the pic that is one of the best eso shots I’ve seen captured. Dcking20 (talk) 01:55, 17 November 2021 (UTC)

File:ON-creature-Trapjaw 02.jpg

 

A very large, very angry wamasu. I enjoy this one because it's in an interesting pose and easy to see against the foggy backdrop of Glenumbra's environment. It has a pleasing silhouette.

  • Support: As nominator. -MolagBallet (talk) 00:48, 17 September 2021 (UTC)
  • Oppose: Would be an acceptable image if not for the coloration. It seems blandly dreary and flat. Croaker (talk) 04:47, 11 November 2021 (UTC)

File:BL-quest-Like Father, Like Son.png

 

Woah, this image is just awesome especially for a game that has some inherent graphical limitations such as blades. For me the thing that makes this excellent is the framing and symbolism. The Thalmor operative clearly means business in his goal to hunt down and eliminate any and all Talos worshippers, meanwhile the god mankind himself looks on over the whole scene, and seems to almost be the one casting down that light in face of the darkness. Special shot.

  • Support: As nominator. Dcking20 (talk) 22:55, 15 August 2021 (UTC)
  • Weak Support: A standout image, but I get this slight impression that the image is a little lower in resolution than would be ideal. Croaker (talk) 04:47, 11 November 2021 (UTC)
  • Support: This is a really awesome photo. As far as Blades goes this close to as high as the resolution gets usually The Rim of the Sky (talk) 21:13, 14 November 2021 (UTC)
  • Support: Good composition and use of light. Good use of negative space to draw the eye to the center. Blowthemandown (talk) 20:16, 30 November 2021 (UTC)
  • Comment: Can we get the subject centered, I find it really strange it's way off-center, otherwise I might support this ~ Dwarfmp (talk) 21:57, 30 November 2021 (UTC)
  • Comment: I tried to put the subject right in the center of the image, but removed some of the surroundings. I believe it does improve the image quite a bit, but I would get it if people think it might remove a bit of the charm. --Ilaro (talk) 22:45, 30 November 2021 (UTC)

File:ON-npc-Gray Host Chillrender 03.jpg

 

A really cool Harrowstorm picture. I found this was being used only on a single article for a generic enemy, but it's such an excellent shot I had to nominate it.

  • Support: As nominator. —⁠Legoless (talk) 19:05, 22 July 2021 (UTC)
  • Mild Support: I didn't appreciate this one as much when I first uploaded it, but I will admit, the blue lighting cast on the witch pike from the vampires' spell highlights the focus pretty well, and it's atmospheric. -MolagBallet (talk) 00:23, 23 July 2021 (UTC)
  • Oppose: It's good in composition, but its color brings the whole thing down. The subjects (the thingy and the people) are arguably darker than their background, save for their magic lights. Might be salvageable through color correction. -Dcsg (talk) 01:18, 23 July 2021 (UTC)
  • Oppose: Dark and vague. Even at full zoom I'm having difficulty discerning the details, and we are not lacking for choice for a new FI at the moment. Croaker (talk) 04:47, 11 November 2021 (UTC)
  • Mild Support: Its a very cool shot and scene indeed, the lighting is incredibly noisy tho, it can't be helped :/ The Rim of the Sky (talk) 21:13, 14 November 2021 (UTC)

Forgive me for my many contributions to the nomination section, I'm a wiki-photographer, I'm in a mood, and I wish to present the site's loveliest images for all to see. I love how centered the subject is, and how the brilliant glow below the Silvenar and Green Lady illuminates them, making them stand out against the background. The framing, color and lighting make for a beautiful shot. What can I say? It's just magical.

  • Support: As nominator. -MolagBallet (talk) 14:24, 28 June 2021 (UTC)
  • Support: Pretty unique and nice colors.--Talyyn (talk) 06:15, 16 July 2021 (UTC)
  • Oppose: Incredibly busy and bright. Even capturing an event, it's not obvious at all what the event is. -Dcsg (talk) 01:18, 23 July 2021 (UTC)
  • Support: The lighting is too much, really, but thanks to the surrounding vibrant greens and yellows, I think it works regardless. I've tried to screenshot it, so I very much appreciate Rim's effort here. Especially as a thumbnail, it's beautiful. It's also a great scene, referring back to a considerable portion of AD zone quests in ESO, and - we don't have many images featuring Wood Elves or their culture. I'd say this image has earned its star for sure. Tib (talk) 15:46, 26 July 2021 (UTC)
  • Weak Oppose: As already mentioned, a little on the bright side to be considered an ideal capture of the subject. But if there were no other proposals for FI (right now there are quite a few), this would suffice in a pinch. Croaker (talk) 04:47, 11 November 2021 (UTC)
  • Comment: I have uploaded a new version of the image. I'm revoking my prior opposition, but since I can no longer have a fresh-eyed, first impression of it again, I can't tell if my initial concerns are no longer a concern, so I'm not casting a vote in support either. I can say that a few of the differences with this version at least take it in the right direction. Firstly, the brightness is more balanced. It's also 1:1 and centered, which helps to focus attention on the right stuff. That in combination with consolidated background elements and less overlapping with the foreground elements creates more distinct silhouettes, probably making it easier to grasp what's happening at a glance. The framing also pushes a bit more over their heads, making it more clear that the lights are actual beams, which could improve clarity regarding the most confounding element of this composition. -Dcsg (talk) 07:04, 11 November 2021 (UTC)
    Comment: I didn't think the arm covering Indaenir's face was a big deal since it captured their arms swaying around. If you could upload a 4:3 that might be better since the room is filled with the green energy from the effigy and that's the ratio often used for scenes — Unsigned comment by The Rim of the Sky (talk • contribs) at 07:03 on 14 November 2021 (UTC)

An action-packed shot of a terror bird in motion, charging the camera while a pilgrim cowers nearby. This screenshot was taken during a random encounter in Southern Elsweyr, where you find a pilgrim wandering the roads. The pilgrim hears a sound, and is attacked by a terror bird, which you can kill to help them out.

An impossible shot made manifest: the indrik leaps into a portal. I set out to capture images of creature abilities, and this one came after approximately 45 minutes of running circles around the same indrik. They were 45 minutes well spent, because I think I used up my beautiful creature shot luck entirely with this one. Wonderfully in motion and on the brink of being yet another missed shot, I think about this one often.

On its own, the marshy district outside Ebonheart may seem unremarkable. But in this lighting, and with a full, glorious view of Ash Mountain in the background, the humble scene is alive with color.

File:ON-creature-The Frigid Temptress.jpg

 

I don't think I've ever looked at an image and immediately thought "that deserves to be featured" until now. The pose, the angle, the details. The way the distortions and imperfections in the surface of the ice stand out against the deep blue, the way her almost glowing icy form stands out against the foggy teal background. The contrast between the nereid, the fog, and the yellow lantern at the bottom-center, the way her shawl gets frostier the further away from her arms it is, and how that frost stands out against everything else, the lighting coming up from beneath the nereid...

If this doesn't get featured, I at least need to know Vyraesi's graphics/lighting settings so I can replicate them on my own machine. This entire image is blue, but unlike other mostly-monochrome submissions I've posted to the Featured Images gauntlet, the subject's very outline stands out against the background due to the ice's textures. This is a work of art.

  • Neutral: We have one old Nereid FI, I think, and this is the same model, sharing the animation and poses. But I really like the quality of this image, all the details visible plus the lighting in the background is good. So this is a bit difficult, since this is really an excellent creature image.

Pictured: Lady N in the wild. When I replaced the original image, I didn't want to replace it with a screenshot of a squirrel in an inferior pose. The little critters that inhabit Tamriel deserve no less than high resolution images that have their personality on full display. The autumnal trees in the background provide a lovely (and suitable) background without distracting from the subject in the foreground.

File:ON-creature-Scuttler.jpg

 

An image of a critter named the Scuttler. anyone aware of how hard it is to take a picture of a critter without the luxary of single player free-roam camera commands knows the frustration of taking a close up shot of a critter, plus add to the fact that we cannot freeze all actors in a world like we can in single player games makes a shot like this pretty darn impressive.

  • Oppose: It has nice framing and a good pose, but it could be improved. I agree with Rim of the sky on the lighting. If it came from the front, the details on the character would be more prominent. His armor is darker than the environment, so he technically stands out, but he doesn't stand out in a very aesthetically pleasing way.

A cinematic shot that's well-lit. The pose is interesting, and the color on the subject gets brighter as you move up his form, making him stand out even better against the sky. Speaking of: the sky is an enrapturing blend between the colors of Coldharbour's billowing blue ash clouds and the setting sun, which is positioned in just the right way to give Molag Bal more emphasis as the focal point of the composition.

File:ON-place-Brothers of Strife.jpg

 

Previously nominated by Tib about 4 years ago, it didn't pass due to the lighting and it being hard to make out what it depicts. I have replaced the old screenshot previously taken Vordur, and replaced it with my own. I took advantage of the newer image standards to fit in more of the figure, and took it in clear lighting. I will quote Tib on the significance of the carved cliffs.

"A window to the past of Stonefalls... This statue tells a story of two brothers and their ultimate sacrifice to save their home in the face of war. Brothers of Strife is an interesting bit of lore and, in my opinion, one of the things you definitely take with you when you leave the Stonefalls area in ESO. Again, this is such a great FI material. As above, if there is something you think could be improved, share your thoughts!"

  • Support: as nominator: Pretty great shot, cinematic, and colors work well and the elements all over the place from the conflict. ye its good. Zebendal (talk) 20:41, 4 April 2020 (GMT)
  • Neutral: This is a really hot image! I agree that it looks very cinematic, almost like a promotional shot. The reason I am Neutral on this though is that in the format the image is going to be viewed the most, a thumbnail on the main page, there's a little bit of a lack of clarity in what all the image is depicting. This is no fault to the image itself; it's simply due to the nature of the subject itself being this fiery, smoke filled scene. I certainly can't oppose the image for this reason alone, but I also haven't been able to move all the way to a support either. Forfeit (talk) 23:09, 27 April 2020 (GMT)

File:SR-npc-Ulfric Stormcloak 06.jpg

 

I can't say I'm much of a fan of the subject, but I've always been a fan of this image. I thought this was nominated before at some point, but it doesn't seem that way. Since I'm in town for a second, I'll throw this into the mix before I head out! The background is really pretty which helps to make it a good thumbnail. However, once you look at it at full size, the expression on Ulfric's face is what sells this for me. I think it captures the thoughts and feelings of the character at this moment in time perfectly. You can also see a little surprise in the background once you look at the full size image too.

  • Support: As nominator. Forfeit (talk) 01:11, 1 April 2020 (GMT)
  • Support: It nicely captures Ulfric's expression after he realizes how everything he did was futile in the grand scheme of things. I might even feel a bit of sympathy for him. --Ilaro (talk) 19:20, 1 April 2020 (GMT)
  • Support: The expression works well and colour scheme is nice. I don't recall how long its been since we had a Skyrim FI.--Talyyn (talk) 04:02, 5 April 2020 (GMT)
  • Neutral: Boring to me. Not bad enough to oppose, though. --AKB Talk Cont Mail 16:06, 23 July 2020 (UTC)

File:ON-quest-The Cursed Skull.jpg

 

This is a beautiful shot. The golden skull is the focus here, contrasting against the gray stone and illuminated by the stunning ray of light filtering from the sky above. The image is high res; you can see all the details in the xanmeer's carvings. The flesh guardian in the background gives the viewer a sense of danger; the golden object on the pedestal is either being guarded by that thing, or the creature happens to be blocking the way of anyone who seeks the skull. Either way, the flesh colossus gives the viewer the sense that this place is dangerous, and whoever is going to retrieve that wonderfully illuminated artifact is going to have one heck of an adventure... which perfectly illustrates what Murkmire is about: a swashbuckling adventure!
Bottom line is, this image is beautiful and tells a story.

  • Support: Indiana Jones vibes. I like the beam of light. —⁠Legoless (talk) 21:10, 23 July 2020 (UTC)
  • Support: Simple, yet able to really show off the ambiance. = Thuraya Salaris (talk) 22:37, 28 July 2020 (UTC)
  • Support: Really good timing and lighting, also like how out of context it looks like the colossus guardian just opened the door to find you with the skull. The Rim of the Sky (talk) 22:48, 28 July 2020 (UTC)
  • Support: The eeriness really captures just how dark the Murkmire questline as a whole gets. Also gotta agree about the Raiders thing. Schiffy(Talk) 23:28, 28 July 2020 (UTC)
  • Support: Very atmospheric.--Talyyn (talk) 01:36, 29 July 2020 (UTC)

File:ON-creature-Sand Serpent.jpg

 

A really excellent shot of this enemy. Hard to capture ESO enemies at this level of detail.

  • Support: As nominator. —⁠Legoless (talk) 18:45, 10 July 2020 (UTC)
  • Support: The subject is nicely centered, the colors contrast in a way that makes the subject easy to see and the whole composition pleasing to look at, and the level of detail is top-notch. My only criticism would be that the subject doesn't take up more space, but 1) the contrast and how centered the subject is makes up for that, and 2) It's a snake, it's not like some Chungus Bristleback where you can get the entire creature to take up most of the screen. -MolagBallet (talk) 22:53, 20 July 2020 (UTC)
  • Support: Looks fantastic. Amazing lighting. --AKB Talk Cont Mail 16:06, 23 July 2020 (UTC)
  • Support: Unfortunately a lot of the ON images I've seen don't even come close to this quality. This is very well done given the difficulties the online restrictions provide when attempting to capture an image. - Thuraya Salaris (talk) 22:37, 28 July 2020 (UTC)
  • Support: Great background and pose on the snake. Not a fan of using base game eso images in 2020 due to asset re-use and outdated textures but this one is alright. The Rim of the Sky (talk) 22:48, 28 July 2020 (UTC)
