Busy Street

A busy Hong Kong Street

The 2nd uploaded image

Overhead shot

Shows how dense a steet can be with many people and adverts. Apears in the Crowd article.

Nominate and support1,2 and 3. - --Hamedog^Talk|@ 13:03, 6 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Unsharp, blurry foreground people are distracting. --Janke | Talk 14:19, 6 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment: I thought that the purpose of the picture was to show how crowded a street in Hong Kong would be. However I agree with Samsara that a higher viewpoint would be much better.--Jonthecheet 00:18, 7 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: would prefer a picture taken from a higher position, e.g. raising the camera above your head as you are standing in the crowd. - Samsara _contrib ^talk 15:09, 6 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comment after two people have suggested that the people close make the photo blury, I have uploaded a photo facing the otherway on the street using a smaller camera.

Out of the three options, I prefer the first, because it has the densest crowd. Also love the Chinese banners - something different! - Samsara _contrib ^talk 18:13, 10 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Would anyone support this image and/or think I should replace the first image on the crowd page? --Hamedog^Talk|@ 10:42, 7 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose ACK Janke Calderwood 10:09, 7 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Comment; The new pic doesn't look really crowded - too much foreground space. Agree with Samsards' comment above, a higher angle, and lots of people would make a better crowd shot. But the first picture is good for the crowd article, I just don't feel it is of FP quality. --Janke | Talk 14:35, 7 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I have uploaded a photo on the same street taken over head. Again there are people in the foreground, but this can be edited out if need be.--Hamedog^Talk|@ 12:00, 8 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Unfortunately the people in the foreground are still out of focus. A smaller aperture (larger f number) would be preferable if you can still keep the shutter speeds up to an acceptable level. chowells 19:11, 8 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Don't like any of these pictures Hein 22:24, 10 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose 1 & 3, Support 2. All of these are great pics that illustrate one of the things that I liked about HK - its busyness, and the fact that you've got people and signs and all kinds of stuff just everywhere. However, 1 & 3 have blurry heads which are unacceptable. Is this in Mong Kok? You really should write a more descriptive summary on the description page. And try not to name your file BUSY.JPG. enochlau (talk) 15:14, 11 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. Updating the descriptive summary now--Hamedog^Talk|@ 08:14, 12 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Support 1 and 2. You should probably update the summary in all three pictures. I've just done it for you, assuming all three are in the same street. Please revert if incorrect. - Samsara _contrib ^talk 13:45, 12 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - sorry, don't find them striking. Thanks! Flcelloguy (A note?) 16:02, 12 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Support 1 & 2. Oppose 3 202.74.165.162 05:30, 13 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Out of the 3, 1 has the best group and the banners really add to the feeling of crowdedness. The other two just don't do the same for me. I would strongly support if you could retake something like 1 and get the focus up to par.--Jonthecheet 06:02, 13 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I wish I could, but I was on holiday there --Hamedog^Talk|@ 09:10, 13 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thats a shame. It really is a great picture though (1) so I Support--Jonthecheet 17:31, 13 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose, neither pic blows me away. --Dschwen 17:40, 13 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Support. I like either pic 1 or 3. I can't really explain it, but I really like those two shots. Definitely not 2 though. --Dante Alighieri | Talk 00:16, 15 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
