Original – Royal Albert Hall, as viewed from the Albert Memorial in Kensington Gardens in London, England.
Reason
It's a high resolution and aesthetically pleasing view of the Royal Albert Hall in London. I chose to take it at dusk, as I think the evening lighting makes it look more impressive and it stands out better among its surroundings than during the day. Detail is such that if you look carefully, you can even read the writing on the plaques through the main window, or the billboards outside.

  • Support Very good indeed. However, I think I prefer your crop as the buildings are distracting (my eye is led up the roofs in steps up to the top left). -- Colin°Talk 21:54, 13 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Beautiful colours and contrast and good sharpness. The subject really stands out of the surrounding. Plus good timing and quiet setting. I am very surprised by the lack of noticeable artifacts of exposures blending. - Blieusong (talk) 23:09, 13 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support This is an excellent photo with strong EV. I prefer this version to the crop as it shows how the Royal Albert Hall is, despite its grand appearance, somewhat hemmed in by other buildings. Nick-D (talk) 08:38, 14 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak Support There is a fairly large amount of motion blur, floating headlights, ghost lines etc around the bottom of the picture, from left to right... The quality of the picture is high enough to still retain my support, but the above issues distract me too much to retain full support... I appreciate that it's going to be nearly impossible to prevent this while retaining the quality of the picture in these lighting conditions, but I just find them annoying... gazhiley 11:41, 14 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
