The photos used to make the estimate were taken at noon Saturday, which is when the company estimated was the rally's high point."
From my 30+ years of attending marches, rallies, fireworks displays on the National Mall, my estimate yesterday afternoon was 75,000-100,000 so I'd go along with this number.
The 300,000 number comes from the National Park permit - which was issues for "up to" 300,000 people.
