:File:ON-creature-Indrik 04.jpg
thumb|right
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.

:File:ON-place-Ebonheart 03.jpg
thumb|right
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. The district is full of fertile soil, livened by the ashfall from the construct of devastation looming over the horizon.

Support: Solid. -Dcsg (talk) 01:18, 23 July 2021 (UTC)

:File:ON-creature-The Frigid Temptress.jpg
thumb|right
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.
Support: As nominator. -MolagBallet (talk) 02:58, 12 July 2021 (UTC)
Support: Very pleasing to look at. -Dcsg (talk) 01:18, 23 July 2021 (UTC)
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. Tib (talk) 15:50, 26 July 2021 (UTC)
Comment: My only extremely minor quibble is that there is another creature in the background, by her feet. It's a great image otherwise, but I'm finding that distracting.--Theolaa (talk) 19:30, 4 August 2021 (UTC)
Weak Support: Tib's concern is the only thing that prevents me from giving this full support. Croaker (talk) 04:47, 11 November 2021 (UTC)
Weak Support: I like the pose, but I do feel the shot could be taken with the Nereid in a different part of the room, idk The Rim of the Sky (talk) 21:13, 14 November 2021 (UTC)
 
 

:File:ON-creature-Squirrel.jpg
thumb|right
 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.

Support: As nominator. -MolagBallet (talk) 14:16, 28 June 2021 (UTC)
Support: What is most curious is how there is not a single nut in this game!! She is imploring you to send /feedback right now!! Erorah (talk) 13:51, 12 July 2021 (UTC)
Oppose: The extreme closeup of a small object makes the normally-detailed textures look crude, and the squirrel looks lifeless as a result. Blowthemandown (talk) 23:25, 15 July 2021 (UTC)
Oppose: An average creature image. -Dcsg (talk) 01:18, 23 July 2021 (UTC)
Oppose: Per Blowthemandown. Otherwise, I agree with the intent behind showcasing this image. Croaker (talk) 04:47, 11 November 2021 
(UTC)
Support: excellent lighting, pose, and background! I wouldn't judge it based off the low 2014 polygons since that can't be helped and we feature older game images (with very old graphics) all the time The Rim of the Sky (talk) 21:13, 14 November 2021 (UTC)
 
 

:File:ON-creature-Scuttler.jpg
thumb|right
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. Technical difficulty aside, he is adorable, and he fills in the real estate of the photo space nicely.

Support: As nominator. Zebendal (talk) 15:35, 26 June 2021 (UTC)
Support: A well-lit shot with pleasing shadow placement. This captures the Scuttler's cuteness in glorious high resolution. -MolagBallet (talk) 17:17, 26 June 2021 (UTC)
Support: This creature is so adorable! Amazingly captured for detail, and that 'Mona Lisa' smile :) Erorah (talk) 13:50, 12 July 2021 (UTC)

An emotive landscape shot with no UI elements, that tells a story.  The wide angle is nicely done, and you would hardly think it was from such an old game it looks so good.
Support: As nominator. Blowthemandown (talk) 00:13, 20 May 2021 (UTC)
Oppose: As cool as the shot is, the thumbnail kinda shows that it would not look very good as the featured image. -Dcsg (talk) 01:18, 23 July 2021 (UTC)
Oppose: Think I'm with Dcsg on this one. —&#8288;Legoless (talk) 15:59, 26 July 2021 (UTC)
Oppose: This shot is really cool, and I appreciate this image, but it's hard to see the content in the thumbnail. It was previously nominated and failed to pass for the same reason. -MolagBallet (talk) 17:29, 4 September 2021 (UTC)
Oppose: Per MolagBallet. Croaker (talk) 04:47, 11 November 2021 (UTC)

:File:SR-npc-Sinding 02.jpg

This is a nice cinematic shot. It's pretty high res, the subject takes up plenty of screen real estate and he casts a lovely shadow that shows how imposing he is.
Support: As nominator. -MolagBallet (talk) 23:03, 19 August 2020 (UTC)
Support: Cool angle and the shadow is nice as well... superb details thanks to the high quality. Definitely fitting as FI. (Unless there's some similar SR FI image already...?) Tib (talk) 17:37, 25 September 2020 (UTC)
Comment: Well, since Tib brought it up, there is this image which is somewhat similar, but it was featured 7 years ago. There's also this image which is already in the queue as one of the next FIs; it's not SR but it is similar to some extent. Not that there's anything wrong with having multiple werewolf FIs, as long as they're not featured too soon after one another. &mdash;           19:34, 25 September 2020 (UTC)
Oppose: Per Wolfborn's comment, it's too similar to existing FIs. To add to the list, this image was featured in 2014. —&#8288;Legoless (talk) 08:20, 12 July 2021 (UTC)
Oppose: Per Wolfborn and Legoless. Croaker (talk) 04:47, 11 November 2021 (UTC)
Weak Support: Lots of werewolf images in the past but this one has cool lighting and setting The Rim of the Sky (talk) 12:19, 16 November 2021 (UTC)

Great framing, good colouring; a high res image capturing a cool group dungeon moment (dude drank dragon blood). Pretty difficult shot to take and this one came out looking excellent.
Support: As nominator. —&#8288;Legoless (talk) 23:34, 8 December 2020 (UTC)
Support: I don't disagree with that notion. He's centered, the mist isn't too in front of his helmet (making the details on the front of the helmet visible, which is always a plus), and he's fully in-frame and high res. -MolagBallet (talk) 03:46, 29 January 2021 (UTC)
Support: The only way this pic could be improved is to retake it closer up to get rid of the excess ~100 pixels on the bottom, other than that its a really great shot! The Rim of the Sky (talk) 18:08, 29 January 2021 (UTC)
Support: This is a kick ass image of a really cool character that eso put out in dungeon content. On a slightly related note one of us loreboys needs to pump out a page for this guy quick! Dcking20 (talk) 23:13, 15 August 2021 (UTC)

I find this image to be very impressive, I love the way the screen shot was took where he is holding his sword.
Support: As nominator. -TheVampKnight (talk) 10:20, 3 February 2021 (UTC)
Oppose: Perfectly fine NPC image, but it's dark and not very impressive. —&#8288;Legoless (talk) 22:05, 28 February 2021 (UTC)
Weak Oppose: I think the pose and resolution are very good, but the problem is the lighting is coming from the backside, making it very poor. I guess using Almalexia's lantern in front of him in a new pic would get rid of this issue, I'm just worried it would not be as high res. The Rim of the Sky (talk) 22:23, 28 February 2021 (UTC)
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. The colors are too similar for him to stand out in a way that "feels" right. -MolagBallet (talk) 22:55, 17 March 2021 (UTC)
Oppose: The color balance here is all out of wack. -Dcsg (talk) 01:18, 23 July 2021 (UTC)
 
 

:File:MW-map-Travel Routes.png
thumb|right
This is a bit of an odd nomination due to it being an image of a technical nature. However, I often see this image cited online, and I think it is the best illustration of Morrowind's various somewhat confusing travel routes. The map is clear, custom made, and accounts for all official expansions and plugins. Plus it's just pleasing to the eye, even as a thumbnail.
Support: As nominator. —&#8288;Legoless (talk) 09:15, 28 July 2021 (UTC)
Support: Sure I'll support it, since it does all that and because of the interesting nature of the nomination. TheVampKnight (talk) 09:20, 28 July 2021 (UTC)
Support: It's something different and it is known outside of UESP. --Talyyn (talk) 10:16, 28 July 2021 (UTC)
Support: Very useful, I have used it myself during my playthroughs. Zebendal (talk) 20:22, 28 July 2021 (UTC)
Support: Neat idea for a FA, and very useful image to boot. Dcking20 (talk) 23:06, 15 August 2021 (UTC)
 
 

:File:ON-creature-Molag Bal 04.jpg
thumb
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.
Support: As nominator. -MolagBallet (talk) 18:37, 19 June 2021 (UTC)
Oppose: It's a good image, but the squat pose is extremely cursed and we've already featured a similar image. —&#8288;Legoless (talk) 08:54, 30 June 2021 (UTC)
Support: It's a good image, and the squat pose is extremely cursed, even if we've already featured my old image. —The Rim of the Sky (talk) 23:45, 15 July 2021 (UTC)
Oppose: It's a good image, but the squat pose is extremely cursed and we've already featured Rim's similar image. —Zebendal (talk) 00:51, 16 July 2021 (UTC)
Comment: That's fair. He's having a real good time teleporting in. I'm a little ticked that I missed the opportunity to get the latter half of this animation at a fun angle before the PTS flipped; I'd have to do the Main/Coldharbour questline to completion for the 3rd time this year if I want to shoot that. -MolagBallet (talk) 05:42, 16 July 2021 (UTC)
Support: I think this image is absolutely based and the cursedness only makes it better. --Alexis Ashwing (talk) 10:37, 16 July 2021 (UTC)
Oppose: Indeed cursed, and even without, he's not looking at anything discernible and you can't tell where his feet meet the ground, so it's disorienting. -Dcsg (talk) 01:18, 23 July 2021 (UTC)
Support: The more I look, the more cursed it gets. It's a fantastic image with a beautiful mix of colour and light. --Oriwa   21:50, 31 July 2021 (UTC)

Support: I rly like the shading on it, kinda hot The Rim of the Sky (talk) 01:17, 10 November 2020 (UTC)

Look at this lady. Ears perked up, head cocked slightly to the side. She's judging you.
Support: As nominator. -MolagBallet (talk) 00:52, 10 August 2020 (UTC)
Support: OK I will make an exception because   she looks very polite The Rim of the Sky (talk) 01:10, 10 August 2020 (UTC)
Oppose: Sorry, but I'm just not a fan. The subject of the image is so low-res and jagged looking that when it's blown up to be looked at it just doesn't look appealing to me. And, the way the lighting is interacting with it just isn't working for me with how unevenly lit up different parts like the wings and the shoulders just forward of them are. All in all, it's just a barely adequate profile shot for the page that's no different from the thousands of other creature images kicking about on the UESP, so it's hard to imagine this as Featured Image material. -          &hearts;       15:58, 10 August 2020 (UTC)
Oppose: I love the pose and the amount of photo real estate this photo takes, but I feel like it should be retaken now that you have a better graphics card since its blurry.Zebendal (talk) 09:53, 3 February 2021 (UTC)
Oppose: There's really nothing that makes the image stand out. I'd also want a different angle on a majestic bird like gryphon, to prevent it looking like a confused giant four-legged chicken. Tib (talk) 15:36, 26 July 2021 (UTC)
Comment: I will say that I now oppose my own nomination; my standards have risen since the arrival of my PC. -MolagBallet (talk) 04:45, 2 August 2021 (UTC)
Comment: Honestly I didn't realize this was a low res image at all, its noticeable when focusing on the background but not immediately clear when looking at the subject (gryphon) itself, I'd still consider it a nice image The Rim of the Sky (talk) 10:02, 2 August 2021 (UTC)

A difficult shot with no UI elements, featuring a boss from ESO's new solo Arena in the midst of casting an ability.
Support: As nominator. -MolagBallet (talk) 17:55, 6 November 2020 (UTC)
Support: he looks cool The Rim of the Sky (talk) 01:17, 10 November 2020 (UTC)
Support: A very cool shot with some nice detail. The outline looks a little odd at first but I think it actually adds to it. --Oriwa   01:31, 14 November 2020 (UTC)
Comment: Speaking of the outline, that's a detail I thought about explaining, but forgot to do. The boss during this fight basically manifests as a golden glow which you can see possessing the husks around the battlefield. The yellow outline is part of the effect, and isn't a UI element. Only bringing this up because it could possibly be mistaken for a UI element by some.  
Oppose: Even if it's not a UI effect, the glow looks strange. —&#8288;Legoless (talk) 23:57, 15 January 2021 (UTC)
Oppose: It would be nice if the glow could be skipped, but if it's a permanent effect he casts on himself, then it will be tricky... which is a shame. Apart from that I wonder if we already had some lurcher FI? If not, it would be great to get one for sure. --Tib (talk) 09:21, 23 June 2021 (UTC)

 
 

:File:ON-place-Brothers of Strife.jpg
thumb
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!"

And there you have it.

:File:ON-creature-Dread Watcher.jpg

What a wonderful image! It's so expressive, despite the subject being a many-eyed (most of which don't have lids), tentacled monster. The entire beast is in-frame, the lighting works, and the colors are similar without making it too difficult to see the subject.

Support —&#8288;Legoless (talk) 05:27, 29 January 2021 (UTC)
Neutral: As flattered as I am by the nomination, I was never a fan of how the contrast turned out due to lack of shadows. Its just an inherent problem with Dark Anchor pics, the Dread Watcher has the exact same color scheme as the dolmen so (unless I retook the pic in the Alik'r) the Watcher is always going to blend in with the background. That being said, I do like the pose I got the Watcher in, and everybody is entitled to vote on this pic how they want but to me I think there are better pics of Watchers out there The Rim of the Sky (talk) 18:08, 29 January 2021 (UTC)
Support Well its a Watcher and its cute, and also the fact it blends into the background is what is so neat about the picture so it has my support. TheVampKnight (talk) 10:01, 3 February 2021 (UTC)
Oppose: We had already featured  a similar  picture before. This one beats it in the amount of photo real estate and the pose it has, but the previous one beats it in having a background that doesn't blend into it.Zebendal (talk) 10:27, 3 February 2021 (UTC)

High resolution, great lighting with perfect highlights/contrast. Background neither busy nor boring. It would be great to have a Blades image featured, and this gets almost the most possible out of a Blades screenshot.

Neutral: The cave background blends in with the wight's own colors and makes it hard to distinguish, would be better if it was retaken in an Ayleid ruin near blue light The Rim of the Sky (talk) 01:17, 10 November 2020 (UTC)

A wonderful composition with a stunning arrangement of color and value. The sun shining behind the chains is the epicenter of the image, drawing attention to the anchor. The landscape around the dolmen accents the main focus without drawing too much away from it, and adds to the beauty of the scene.

I saw this one on our social media and thought it looked very cool. The colours are great, it really captures the resurrection of a dragon in a stunning way.

Support: Fantastic shot in every way, loving the angles and the progress through the dragon resurrection animation this was taken at, don't often get to see it since it happens so fast. The Rim of the Sky (talk) 22:48, 28 July 2020 (UTC)

A great action shot showing off both the quest objective and the landscape of Western Skyrim. The framing and colouring on this image is excellent.

Support: An excellent composition! MolagBallet (talk) 15:49, 17 June 2020 (UTC)
Support: Definitely a good image for such a simple scene. --AKB   16:06, 23 July 2020 (UTC)
Weak Oppose: Not a whole lot going on and not a fan of the various low-poly textures and containers (sack of grain etc.) in the foreground. Neat scene tho. The Rim of the Sky (talk) 22:48, 28 July 2020 (UTC)
Oppose: It's an okay image, but I'm more or less on the same feeling as Rim of the Sky here. And it's kinda hard to tell clearly what exactly the guy in the scene is doing so it's not a very clear image to look at in that regard. -          &hearts;       15:58, 10 August 2020 (UTC)

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)

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)

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.

A really excellent shot of this enemy. Hard to capture ESO enemies at this level of detail.
Support: As nominator. —&#8288;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   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)
