I'm not being an "art ponce" and having some fine art debate about the londonpictures set. Even I can see that there are massive technical problems with them. This one has obvious aliasing problems, as if it was resized without using a decent scaling algorithm: http://annexia.org/tmp/londonpictures/londonpictures_01.jpg This one is a picture of a dog litter bin, with a camera flash and the photographer's shadow clearly visible: http://annexia.org/tmp/londonpictures/londonpictures_18.jpg No one (sane) would choose these as great photographs. So any argument around this particular set of photographs is going to be based on a poor example. I think it would be better to frame this in terms of good photographs. What if someone submitted a similar package, but with photos like these: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Palace_of_Westminster.jpg http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:London_Eye,_London.JPG http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Tube_station_2_cz.jpg (Not just an RSS feed but a hand-picked selection of the best city photos from Wikicommons).
