View of the Royal Albert Hall during the blue hour from Prince Consort Road, South Kensington, London (England), showing the South Steps and the statue of Prince Consort Albert (work of Joseph Durham in 1858), to whom the hall was honored by his wife, Queen Victoria. It has a capacity of up to 5,272 seats, and since its opening by Queen Victoria in 1871, world's leading artists from several performance genres have performed there. Each year it hosts more than 350 events including The Proms concerts, that take place annually each summer since 1941.

  • weak  Oppose for now. WB seems a little bit off and/or oversatured. But easily fixable... --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 06:17, 22 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support Frankly, I find it excellent. About WB and oversaturation: it depends of many factors, mainly due to the monitors settings. Only the photographer knows, IMO. Iconic monument, very good technical achievement, "blue hour" well managed, even the moving leaves are not disturbing. Little flaws (or comments): distortion of the lamps in foreground, and I'ved crop at right, for a better symmetry.--Jebulon (talk) 08:57, 22 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose That's a lot of orange steps and a lot of midtone. I wonder if the HDR/levels-adjustment has resulted in the steps being too light. They dominate the frame leaving the hall in the background, hiding behind the statue (which itself isn't very well lit). I'm afraid the combination of orange and blue here makes me queasy. Perhaps earlier there would have been some light in the sky to make the surrouds less orange. From my own recent experience, I think the digital camera can have a tendency to oversaturate scenes like this with a result unlike the one I experienced with my own eyes. Perhaps we have a tendency to set the exposure levels to achieve brightness like daytime but a darker, less saturated exposure would be more natural. -- Colin (talk) 11:27, 22 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose Oversaturated. The image is only orange and blue. -- -donald- (talk) 13:15, 22 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
