Support All the underground stations I saw when I visited Cologne were dank holes in the ground filled with drunks. It's good to know at least one of them is mildly attractive. I'm not wild about the blur from the train on the right, but this is a well composed and interesting image with strong EV. Nick-D (talk) 06:48, 30 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Support I like the whizzy train; neeeeeeyoooooooow. Light bulbs need replacing though; maintenance to Platform 1. Belle (talk) 23:05, 30 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Support - Fine composition and color. The trains, one stationary and one moving, make a nice contrast. Jus da fax 06:01, 31 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose I can forgive a blurred train due to the speed they travel, but the passengers on the platform are all blurred - the ones on the right (as we look) platform especially seem to be duplicated due to ghosting... Spoils it for me... gazhiley 12:58, 1 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- Yes, the blurred passengers are a pity... they are difficult to avoid though, as I intentionally took a long exposure of the incoming train, hoping to get a nice blur there... I often do that when taking pictures of stations, it helps create a certain dynamic element, imo. --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 17:09, 1 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  - Thank you for taking the time to explain Martin Falbisoner... Just doesn't sit well with me sorry... gazhiley 08:11, 2 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Support I don't mind the blur; it gives it more of the gestalt of the place. HereToHelp ^{(talk to me)} 19:23, 5 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
