Original – Stockholm Central Station is the busiest railway station in Sweden with over 200,000 passengers per day. Designed by the architect Adolf W. Edelsvärd, it was opened in 1871.

Reason: Good overview of interior space, with high level of detail.

Weak support - Half a second exposure? No wonder the moving people are so blurred. Not a deal-breaker for me as this is meant to showcase the architecture, but still a shortcoming. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 03:57, 12 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Support. The length of exposure obviously depends on the abundance of light (natural or otherwise) in the hall, but I can say that half a second is fairly typical, as the photographer would normally need to use an aperture of around f/8 for good depth of field and sharpness, and this either requires you to increase the exposure well beyond hand-holding (which is probably about 1/30th of a second, typically, for a wide angle lens) or requires you to bump up the ISO. I think motion blur from a long exposure is the lesser of two evils when compared to high ISO noise. Ðiliff «» (Talk) 08:22, 12 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Agree. I think shorter exposure would also have the shortcoming of excessively "freezing time" and making the space appear more static than it is. Railway stations are by their very nature dynamic spaces, and motion blur naturally captures that. --ELEKHH^T 09:42, 12 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Support per above. Adam Cuerden ^(talk) 16:31, 14 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Weak oppose. I find it cluttered and underwhelming. Yes, I know train stations are cluttered, but to show off the architecture you don't want it too full. Light and colours are a bit blah too. Could do with a fraction of a degree clockwise rotation too. Aaadddaaammm (talk) 04:32, 18 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
