Info all by Benh (talk) 17:18, 7 October 2019 (UTC)
Neutral That one is only 4 years old. It's 47mpix, sharp and detailed. Not the most artistic shot, but shows that iconic area very well IMO. And it's almost void of people here (usually insanely crowded)... -- Benh (talk) 17:18, 7 October 2019 (UTC)- Info same picture taken 8 years before, in the middle of the day. I don't think it shows how much more crowded this has gotten though. But Londoners can tell better. - Benh (talk) 17:28, 7 October 2019 (UTC)
Support - Just about deserted at 7 AM? How did that happen? A Monday morning, yet! -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 03:44, 8 October 2019 (UTC)
- Two possibilities: hundreds of photos, or long exposure. But according to the traffic lights I guess the first one. -- -donald- (talk) 06:18, 8 October 2019 (UTC)
- Many photos (more dozens than hundreds for sure), be a little patient when there are people. It is very easy to pick the empty version of overlapping area when you have carefully shot the raw source photos. But there's no secret: the hardest part is to get there early. - Benh (talk) 16:36, 8 October 2019 (UTC)

- Neutral The overcast makes for good encyclopedic photos but it's a bit boring. I also find it rather creepy to see this busy place so deserted. I know it does happen, I've walked through a totally deserted downtown London on a Christmas Day, but still slightly unnatural. --Cart (talk) 11:00, 9 October 2019 (UTC)
- I'm afraid what you think is an "overcast" was due to my processing. I think it was sunny. You can see shadows, that I have mitigated. Overcast would have made it much easier to shoot. - Benh (talk) 17:42, 9 October 2019 (UTC)
Oppose Relatively good image, but I do not see any reason for FP nomination here. -- Karelj (talk) 21:07, 9 October 2019 (UTC)- Oppose per Karelj --Christof46 (talk) 21:37, 9 October 2019 (UTC)
- Support You know, I think the blah light actually helps here, because it accentuates how mundane this typically very busy place looks without its crowds (see also Times Square in a similar situation in Vanilla Sky. Daniel Case (talk) 04:49, 10 October 2019 (UTC)
