Sanja Matsuri, 2006

Original - People flood the Nakamise-dōri as one of the festival's three main mikoshi passes through the Hōzōmon during the third day of Sanja Matsuri.

Reason

I have always thought that this image was very exciting. A sea of people extending as far back as the camera can see! It is also a great depiction of the third and final day of Sanja Matsuri, a large Japanese Shinto festival. It depicts important festival structures in the area and shows the enormous popularity of the festival.

• Oppose: Definitely a better image is possible without the capped head of a photographer, the pillar and the wire.--Redtigerxyz ^Talk 14:28, 3 March 2009 (UTC)
