Info created and uploaded by Diliff - nominated by me --Code (talk) 06:55, 16 February 2017 (UTC)
Support Excellent quality, interesting subject and pleasant light. I like especially the contrast between the warm sandstone tones of the buildings and the red buses as well as the change between light and shadow. --Code (talk) 06:55, 16 February 2017 (UTC)- Support per nom. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:15, 16 February 2017 (UTC)

Oppose Living in Oxford I can say that this is the wrong time of day to take this photo. Far too much shadow. Charles (talk) 11:12, 16 February 2017 (UTC)- Oppose Agree with Charles. Also the verticals are slightly leaning outwards. -- Colin (talk) 19:32, 16 February 2017 (UTC)
- Oppose per Charles. In addition to deferring to his local knowledge, it also seems to me like the shadow was perhaps overenthusiastically suppressed. Daniel Case (talk) 05:29, 17 February 2017 (UTC)
- Oppose Too much shadowed parts --Michielverbeek (talk) 06:29, 17 February 2017 (UTC)

Comment. I've only just seen this now so it's a bit late, but for what it's worth, I'm not sure how you would get a shot with much less in shadow. The angle and curve of the street makes it difficult and I found nothing on Google Image search that was any better - all the sunlit photos have the same shadow on the left side and sunlight on the right. The best you are likely to get in terms of balanced lighting is an overcast day but then it won't look very pretty. Diliff (talk) 22:08, 19 February 2017 (UTC)
