- Info Taken at the gritty and chaotic Garibaldi station, in Naples. I like that the image is about people (something I rarely manage to do), I like there is plenty to explore (e.g. the couple kissing, the old gentleman tourist squinting at his guide, the sea of cigarette butts by the tracks), and I like how the slow shutter speed gives a sense of movement to the train and those walking by. I'm not crazy about the left crop, and I cloned out half a person from the right (personally I don't have an issue with cloning, as long as it is documented, but some may disagree).

- Support I like this photo: The subtly told stories on the platform makes it special; and the central perspective of the ceiling construction gives the picture a good dynamic. -- Radomianin (talk) 21:20, 25 September 2021 (UTC)
- Comment Option to crop it above, to get rid of lights ? --Mile (talk) 20:04, 26 September 2021 (UTC)
- Thanks Mile. While I was editing the image I considered a crop very similar to the one you propose, but found that it took away the ceiling's leading lines that draw the eye to the people and passing train. I also like how the outermost leading lines end right at the corner of the frame (I find myself often doing this in wide angle shots e.g. here, here or here) Julesvernex2 (talk) 20:52, 26 September 2021 (UTC)
- I tried, i croped just lights, so narrower crop than proposed. It works better to me. --Mile (talk) 08:56, 27 September 2021 (UTC)

- Support per Radomianin. Good colours, and the composition is much more thoughtful than one may think at the first glance; the diagonals ending exactly in the corners add depth to it, and the postures of the various couples and singles look like various scenes from a stageplay. --Aristeas (talk) 07:48, 27 September 2021 (UTC)
- Oppose Blurred person in foreground - may be intended - but doesn't work for me. Charlesjsharp (talk) 09:32, 27 September 2021 (UTC)
- Weak support per Radiomanin and Aristeas. Works best as street photography. Daniel Case (talk) 14:53, 27 September 2021 (UTC)
- Support This is a good attempt, though I wish there was more separation between the persons. There is some dynamism here, and it's not always easy to create dynamic pictures. Just happy to see something different than what is normally on offer in FPC and I like the fact the photographer has not gone crazy about tack sharpness or clinical crops or other such debatable technical things and tried to convey a feel for a change -- Dey.sandip (talk) 07:58, 28 September 2021 (UTC)
- Oppose It has bits of goodness, as noted, but also weaknesses too (blurred prominent figures, boring ceiling. -- Colin (talk) 12:58, 28 September 2021 (UTC)
- Oppose Per Colin. -- Karelj (talk) 20:46, 28 September 2021 (UTC)
- Support --MZaplotnik(talk) 10:42, 3 October 2021 (UTC)
- Oppose Agree with Charles here Poco a poco (talk) 11:52, 3 October 2021 (UTC)
