Oppose It's just really dark. Also the shot should've been more of a three-quarters angle and it's a shame there's a silly looking hedge wall. But you can't see the rider's face at all, sorry. – Kerαunoςcopia^◁_galaxies 22:03, 14 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Oppose Kerαunoςcopia's concerns are mine as well, but they are not as critical to me. That said, it is really hard to see the face unless at full size.--Wingtipvorte^X PTT ∅ 02:23, 16 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Support Very good handling of motion, good detail, balanced exposure and the shadow from the jockey´s helmet to his face is just normal.--Snaevar (talk) 19:50, 20 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
