Oppose I don't like the crop, a square? And the advertising is quite distracting... — raeky ^{(talk | edits)} 18:02, 22 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Made a crop out. Brandmeister[t] 18:32, 22 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Shadow is cut off, and still an awkward composition. — raeky ^{(talk | edits)} 18:37, 22 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  - I think it's not a big deal amid entire figure being captured. Brandmeister[t] 18:51, 22 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - The problem with this picture is its narrow width. The athlete is thrusting herself forward, but the picture is cropped right in front of her, making it a very awkward composition. The edited version makes matters even worse. I think a much better similar picture could be found. --Desiderius82 (talk) 08:11, 24 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. I'm not actually seeing any real EV, if I'm honest. It's a nice decorative picture, and the technical quality is pretty good, but this really isn't a standout picture in my eyes. J Milburn (talk) 10:08, 28 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
