@W.carter: A.Savin When you are taking pictures of architectural wonders or beautiful landscapes it's very easy to get a wow effect and finally a FP. I think that those architectural wonders are always there wainting for be shooted because they can be photographed by anyone in any time and the change on this building or landspace is minimal in decades and just the next year someone will make a better picture because this type of photography has more to do with the camera power camera than the photographer himself. Turning ordinary things into wonderful is what makes a good photographer, however, it is more difficult to impact when you take pictures of common things but of fleeting moments that will not come back again. In this particular case, it is a photograph that is the result of the 3 year work (It seems unbelievable but it is true). Each day I was going to take the same picture, taking care of the details and looking for a way to make it better the next day. Taking a picture inside a moving car is a very difficult task especially because there is little lighting, people are in constant motion (especially in the most densely traveled metro in the world sao paulo) and a great depth of field is necessary. This photo is not particularly great and a photo should not be explained to be FP, however, I think that in this section, in the evaluation process, we are basing ourselves only on visual aspects without taking into account some particularities. My comment is more general and not specifically about this image that I'm honestly not sure I can or can not be FP.--The Photographer 15:13, 2 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • @The Photographer: I think you misunderstood me very much!! I was not criticizing your photo at all, I was only concerned that you had revealed the name of a Commons user and in a way told everyone that it was a person in this photo. I was thinking about that user's right to have their Commons name protected. That has nothing to do with the quality of your photo, which is actually very good under such difficult circumstances. --cart-Talk 15:58, 2 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Comment There are several possibilities to photograph a metro train interior: you can wait till the train has stopped (to avoid camera shake), you can make the photo at late hour (so that it's not much crowded). Yes it's more difficult than a building at sunny day, but still not particularly challenging to say "wow" just because of technically good shot. For those, there is COM:QIC. --A.Savin 05:27, 3 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry I was answering it to A.Savin --The Photographer 17:10, 2 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Having met Beria I will say she's very, uh, outgoing anyway and probably wouldn't mind (but all the same, even though I'm pretty sure which person in the photo is her, I will not say so publicly). Daniel Case (talk) 16:22, 2 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
