The Copenhagen Central Post building and Railways station
Originally, it was built as a Danish Post and Telegraph Headquarter near the Copenhagen railways station. Nowadays houses Villa Copenhagen, a well known luxury hotel.
It has the particularity of being a beautiful and enormous building, immersed in a busy city center. For these reasons it is very difficult to photograph.
I tried to create a composition using the free space above the tracks of the train station, during a late summer night.

Thanks for yours review. I would like to inform you about some improvements on the imageː I cropped-out raffly 100 pixels from the left side as this part was useless for the composition and I decided to reduce stars and noise on the sky. The architect Heinrich Wenck designed the Railways station platform as well the Central Post building. In a modern vision of the current infrastructure present in the photo and in the composition I had in mind, I saw the importance of depicting all the elements present. For this reason I also framed the staircase in the foreground. If it bothers you, don't necessarily think of it as my mistake. If you want to know if I like how the whole infrastructure is made, know that I don't like it either, but some cyclists have told me that it is very useful for transporting bicycles on the upper road from the train and vice versa, in fact over the stairs there are spaces on which bicycle wheels can slide. I conclude by thanking all those who have judged or who will be able to express their thoughts on the matter, regarding a cross-section of the real life of the people who commute in Copenhagen... Kind regards.  CommentIn fact, I gave my favorable vote precisely because I know this type of infrastructure, there is a similar structure, which is called a walkway, at the Florence Campo di Marte station, and it is used both to access the station platforms and also to connect the Viale Mazzini neighborhood with the Campo di Marte neighborhood (neighborhoods of Florence). Pedestrians and also bicycles circulate on the aforementioned walkway (obviously cyclists go down the stairs on foot with their bikes on their shoulders). It is very useful.Furthermore, compared to the one in Florence, this one in the photo is much more harmonious when descending the stairs, and blends well with the surrounding environment.

  •  Oppose per above. - ABAL1412🇻🇳🇸🇺🇷🇺 (talk ☭) 17:40, 18 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose The composition seems cluttered. There's an overabundance of elements vying for the viewer's attention, from the staircases in the foreground to the building and railway tracks, which makes it challenging to discern a clear focal point. The lighting on the main building seems uneven. While the illuminated windows create a visually appealing pattern, other parts of the building are left in shadows, losing details that could have been intriguing. The stark artificial lighting in the lower portion of the image contrasts harshly with the more subdued lighting of the building. This creates an imbalance in the overall ambiance and distracts from potential focal points. There's a visible lack of human presence or activity. Including people or moving vehicles might have added life or a narrative element to the scene, making it more engaging. Lastly, the angle of the shot seems slightly off-kilter, especially noticeable with the railway tracks, which don't appear perfectly horizontal. This could create a subtle feeling of unease for the viewer. --Wilfredor (talk) 23:05, 18 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
