 * Oppose I find the people extremely distracting. Also, I don't think this has exceptional EV. Makeemlighter (talk) 01:53, 23 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Weak oppose To me, the ghostly apparitions made this pic some kind of surreal art&mdash;which looks cool&mdash;but distract from the EV. Admittedly, it would be difficult to get everyone to step out of the way while you took a pic! Sasata (talk) 06:35, 23 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Weak oppose - with such a long exposure, it's sort of neither day nor night. The focus of this image is the footpath which is...not very interesting. Also not fond of the ghosts. Stevage 06:35, 23 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose. Very sharp and detailed as are all of Benh's panoramas, but I'm not convinced about the exposure. As Stevage says, it is a sort of a wishywashy twilight image, lacking in contrast. It is an interesting view and good for the article, but not a stand out FP in my opinion. Diliff  | (Talk)   (Contribs) 13:39, 23 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose. Overexposed. Kaldari (talk) 17:31, 23 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Support: I don't find the ghosts distracting. I think this really shows off Champs-Élysées; I have trouble imagining that another picture could do it much better.  The amount captured here is great; plenty of scope.  This place has obviously been lit to be glorious at night, which this photo captures.  It's always going to be busy, in fact it would be ghostly if it wasn't, and the people present and there in ghost are evidence of that, and yet there aren't so many that you lose the street scene.  I imagine that, in daylight, this would all look rather ordinary.   Mae din \talk 18:02, 27 February 2009 (UTC)
