•  Support I like the slice of life, including the guy with the Santa hat and shorts in a tropical zone. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 02:54, 23 September 2022 (UTC)
•  Oppose Yes, it’s nice, but I can’t see much special here. Just an ordinary scene in a railway station to me in harsh light, and 11 megapixels is not an extremely high resolution either. Red channel looks oversaturated (all the red clothes of the people on the opposite platform). --Kreuzschnabel 08:15, 23 September 2022 (UTC)
  • Its not a "harsh light" just a cloudy day, however, the interior of the station is quite dark compared to the exterior and it is normal that the exterior has to be exposed a little. I could have done an HDR with a tripod to mitigate this situation, it's the only solution I can think of
  • "11 megapixels is not an extremely high resolution either". There is a difference between the resolution and the size of the image as well, 11.3 although it is not a high resolution the image conserves more than 300 pixels per inch, finally I don't think it's necessary to see the skin pores here. This is an Aps-c and I had to crop the image to get a better frame
  • "Red channel looks oversaturated", its not and you can use the red train how reference searching it on google, in brazil people dress more colorful
  • "I can’t see much special here, Just an ordinary scene in a railway station, s not an extremely high", It is a non-technical and personal opinion full of exaggerated adjectives, it is your opinion and I respect it. From my point of view this is a live photo and should not be evaluated with the same standards of a static object and full frame cameras, additionally there is the factor of developing country which should also be taken into consideration.

Thanks for your feedback --Wilfredor (talk) 12:17, 23 September 2022 (UTC)

•  Support Yes, there is nothing on a pure aesthetic level that makes this an FP, for me ... no visual pattern, no leading lines, whatever. But it is nominated as street photography and on that basis it succeeds overwhelmingly. This is a train station in one of the largest cities in the country in question during a major holiday travel period—of course it would be busy, and that is what this image is showing us ... so many people, so many separate stories. I particularly like the women just a little bit down the platform, clearly posing for a picture to be taken by another woman we can barely see. What are they doing? Are they off somewhere, or at the end of a visit?

  I also like that the roof, from what we can see of it, looks almost exactly like the roof of Milan's Centrale station, which so struck me upon my arrival in that city for Wikimania 2016 that I had to stop and photograph it. Daniel Case (talk) 17:21, 24 September 2022 (UTC)

  There are some good points being made here. I'd consider the young man on the left and the train the most recognizable points of interest in this shot. Playing around a bit, I think the whole thing could be strengthened by a tighter crop (below the top "Plataforma 3" sign and at the right, keeping the same aspect ratio). Most of what's going on on the right is secondary to the main POI's and I really don't miss the arches once they're gone. That would also strengthen the rails, platform edge and floor markings as compositional elements. El Grafo (talk) 10:42, 28 September 2022 (UTC)

•  Support Not perfect, but something new, at least... --Yann (talk) 19:08, 25 September 2022 (UTC)
•  moral support for doing something fresh (by FPC standards). --El Grafo (talk) 10:44, 28 September 2022 (UTC)
•  Oppose I'm glad this photo exists and I'm sure plenty of people will find a use for it, but it seems a bit too much like something anyone could duplicate by walking into a train station. Excellent image quality and good composition but not outstanding for me Cmao20 (talk) 19:50, 28 September 2022 (UTC)
