  •  Support wow. At first sight, this looks like a boring version of "where's Waldo?" with not much going on at the individual level. It's only when you take a step back and re-adjust your perspective that it starts to shine. We've seen a few attempts to depict large-ish crowds here in the past (usually protests/demonstrations). Most of them filed miserably, usually because there was no composition to speak of. But this one ... it's almost like a landscape shot of a glacier meandering its way down a slope between two steep mountain peaks. Deserves more attention! --El Grafo (talk) 07:54, 27 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose I'm afraid I don't quite see the appeal in the same way you do; while chaotic and colourful are positives, the scene also feels a little too ordinary for me to think of it as an FP. I'm also a bit bothered by the cut-off head in the foreground. --Peulle (talk) 07:41, 28 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support per El Grafo. A river of humanity. It almost needs a cut-off head to underline the sense of crowding and movement. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 18:06, 28 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Weak oppose I totally agree with the supports that the crowd works. But I find the architecture at left distracting. An image like this can work but the crowd needs better framing. Daniel Case (talk) 01:56, 29 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Weak support weighing up pro and contra statements. --Aristeas (talk) 06:52, 30 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Support, per El Grafo RodRabelo7 (talk) 19:07, 30 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose Sorry to be this rude unsophisticated prole, who ignores the deep social aspects of this great (honestly great) composition but to me as a simple mind, the colours just look oversaturated. I nonetheless like to review big groups of people like this. I recently watched a video on a site called xhamsters, also featuring a lot of different people, but the quality wasn't sufficient and a lot of them were acting quite similar.--Der Angemeldete (talk) 16:52, 2 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
