Image:London Eye Jan 2006.jpg

• Support - as nom, classic photo of the London Eye - excellent quality image, great execution, crisp finish. DJR (Talk) 00:06, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

Obviously we will have to change the image in the main box if this one is elected as showcase picture... DJR (Talk) 17:10, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

• Oppose. There's a far better image of the Eye than this, and that's the one that's currently being showcased. HAM 22:01, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

Image:A typical london street.jpg

• Support - as nom. I must say I find the name of this image quite amusing... if only the average London street looked like The Mall! The alternative picture of The Mall has the unavoidable eyesore of traffic lights, but this one looks quite attractive with the draping Union Flag and black cabs. DJR (Talk) 17:20, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

• • Mild support. Great image, awful filename. I bet some Americans actually believe that's what England looks like; if only! ;o) — OwenBlacker 14:01, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

• Support - nice picture - --FuatBaran 03:52, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

Image:Canary Wharf at Sunset.jpg

• Support - as nom; very, very slightly blurred, but a really nice image. DJR (T) 21:04, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

Image:Westminster from London Eye night.jpg

• Support - incredible. Best photo of London I've seen on Misplaced Pages. DJR (T) 15:44, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
• Support. That definitely is a good 'un. HAM 20:02, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
• Support - Wow! You won't find too many better pictures than this of London! DavidB601 20:23, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
• Support - Top notch! Stevekeiretsu 12:18, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

Image:Natural History Museum London Jan 2006.jpg

• Support as nom. This seems to be one of the few pictures by User:Diliff that isn't featured; it's still a corker, though. HAM 21:00, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
• Support - brilliant shot. Stevekeiretsu 12:18, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
• Support - nice picture - --FuatBaran 03:52, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

Image:Night canary wharf london.jpg

• Support - as nom. Really unfortunate that this was taken at such a low resolution, but nonetheless one of my favourite images on Misplaced Pages - a great angle and beautiful balance of foreground/background. DJR (T) 17:16, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

Image:SheilaGallagherLollipopLadyStPauls.jpg

• Support - as nom. As the last remaining lollipop lady in London, this photo of Sheila Gallagher captures a great aspect of London. -- Jreferee 15:54, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

• Support - as photographer. Out of all the images I've contributed to Misplaced Pages, this is one of my favorites. Why? Because it shows a human face to a city of monuments and iconic buildings. Sheila is a Londoner through and through, and her welcoming smile and words have brightened the day of many a tourist to this great city. St Pauls in the background is grand enough, but Sheila, guiding folk through a gate to the City of London, gives us a cheerful smile. --Jumbo 03:01, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

• Support - Captures a human presence and gives an excellent contrast. --Kind Regards - Heligoland 03:04, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

• Support - got my vote - ottawabill 23 January 07

• Support -I like the reminder that even amidst the grandeur and pomposity, it is still a real place, where people go to work and children must be tended.---TW

• Support - I love it! - TheScrappyCat

• Support - Lovely shot! - caffcaff
