OriginalHősök tere (meaning "Heroes' Square" in Hungarian) is one of the major squares of Budapest, Hungary. Its iconic statue complex, the Millennium Memorial, was completed in 1900. It is located at the northern end of Andrássy Avenue, both being part of an extensive World Heritage Site.
Reason
High EV, as it well captures the configuration of the square, details of the sculptures and the diversity of activities on the square. It is well composed and has a nice smooth lighting, which also illustrates the orientation of the square relative to the cardinal points. For those picky on technical details, the minor CA on the left side might be an issue, but I don't think it significantly distracts from the overall EV.

  • Oppose It is a pretty good photo and useful for the article. I don't think it is among our best, however. The man with a mobile and plastic bag has a twin. The verticals aren't true, especially at the sides. The left and right columns don't line up horizontally, which I think is probably quite tricky to achieve as you'd have to stand in just the right position. Possibly the photo can be taken from further back to reduce the horizontal stretching at the sides (from other photos, there appears to be a road behind the camera position, which could be crossed--though traffic may then be an issue). I guess it is difficult to take this without people, but the three nearest are distracting and I want to eliminate them if I had overlapping frames. -- Colin°Talk 13:10, 19 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
