Info Shinjuku, Tokyo, at dusk. This scene taken from a - unfortunately rather vibrating - pedestrian overpass hopes to illustrate the vibrant and bustling atmosphere near the world's busiest train station. All by --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 09:08, 26 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Support Great view! --mathias K 14:03, 26 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose blur. Sorry --An678ko (talk) 16:22, 26 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Well, the motion blur is intentional (and difficult to avoid anyway)--Martin Falbisoner (talk) 16:48, 26 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment To be honest the picture doesn't tell me so much. I lived in that area for a while and that's vibrant, you bet, but here I see a road wiht vehicles, a bridge and some neons in the background, I am not sure what you want to express with this work. To me the most interesting in that area would be having lots of people and neons, but here I find the bridge rather disturbing. Poco² 21:47, 26 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Thanks Diego. On the one side you're right: Shinjuku is generally characterized by lots of people and neons. But still: this area is also a major transport hub, with huge masses of people permanently coming and going. The railroad bridge in question is almost unbelievably busy, with trains crossing pretty much all the time. So integrating a train seemingly in motion helps convey this dynamic aspect in my eyes. --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 07:31, 27 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Support I love this shot. Complex, busy, not quite focused, not quite not. One thing that fascinated me is, in front of the idling Toyota (between the right-turning truck and the left-turning red car), a pedestrian whose feet are both planted at this instant while his body is in motion, seemingly rendering him invisible from the shins up. xD —ATinySliver/^ATalkPage 04:10, 27 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose -- The photograph does not illustrate anything in particular. The motion blur of the train in the middle of the image also plays the spoilsport. Sanyambahga (talk) 08:06, 28 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose As Sanyambahga. --Karelj (talk) 17:44, 28 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Support I like the atmosphere and it gives me desire to see more of this place, I shall have liked a little wider image. Christian Ferrer 18:07, 29 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose I would expect a bit better quality. For showing the dynamics, a longer exposure time might be a good idea. Kruusamägi (talk) 18:06, 30 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Support I like that it is natural. Pictures with long exposures are pretty, but feel fake. Need something natural for a change. --Elvonudinium (talk) 06:06, 3 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
