Reason: This is very poignant showing the despair of a homeless person against the grandness of the cathedral. It also is a visually striking photo. The only downside is that at full resolution, there is some color fringing. However the overall effect overcomes the flaw, in my opinion.

Reluctant oppose The idea behind this photo was a good one, juxtaposing grand architecture with poverty. However, the blurring and stretching of the photo at the edges prevents me from supporting this for Featured Picture. Pine^talk 07:57, 3 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose The pic is titled anti-clockwise. The crop is tight at the bottom, cutting off the wheel. The CA could be fixed in software. The top half of the building is out of focus. The lighting is harsh. Too many technical problems. Not sure this has strong EV either. --Colin°^Talk 09:16, 3 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose I think that the juxtaposition of elements is a good idea for an image that is designed to position an audience, but not so much for an encyclopaedia article. I think this is a difficult subject to illustrate well. JJ Harrison (talk) 10:01, 4 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
