Mostecká, Malá Strana, Prague

Original - A view of the Mostecká viewed towards Malostranské Náměstí with the Church of Saint Nicolas in the background in Malá Strana, Prague just after sunrise.

Edit 1 - More saturation and contrast

Reason: A picture possessing a good quality with a high EV. It illustrates the Mostecká, the street leading up to the famous Charles Bridge in Prague. This street is almost always crowded with tourists, but in this picture there is not a soul to be found. Therefore, you can see every aspect of the street and look all the way through to Malostranské Náměstí.

Weak oppose- it's a little dull, there are far more impressive sights in Prague. It looks a little dark. J Milburn (talk) 16:24, 4 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with you that it is a little dull, but that's because the picture was taken in the early morning. Yes, I am aware of the fact that there are more impressive sights in Prague since I have seen them all, but this is not about a photo of the most impressive sight in Prague. It's about delivering a good photograph of this particular street. --Massimo Catarinella (talk) 16:33, 4 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Support. I like pictures like this that show how life really is. It provides a second view of cities, instead of only the big touristy places, and hence has good EV. It's a little dark, but I don't think that's an issue. Good choice. Intothewoods29 (talk) 18:38, 4 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose- There doesn't seem to be anything special to me about this picture. There's no real subject to the photo and its quite dark. (Giligone (talk) 19:06, 4 September 2008 (UTC))[reply]
Support. This street is generally very dark and crowded and it's impossible to take a photos full of light so this is probably the best possible view.--Avala (talk) 19:40, 4 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Definitely a useful shot, but it's not a striking composition and, as others note, has dull colors and little contrast. The more mundane the subject and composition, the more outstanding the technical elements have to be to make up for it, and in this case it would have to be really high resolution and really really sharp to win my support.--ragesoss (talk) 20:19, 4 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I added a new version of the picture as many of you found the picture to be too dull. --Massimo Catarinella (talk) 21:02, 4 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose perspective distortion. Mfield (talk) 00:24, 5 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose As mentioned already it's a dull photo --Abdominator (talk) 03:46, 5 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
