Weak oppose. It's definitely a good capture, but the sky seems noisy and artifact-y. howcheng {chat} 17:25, 4 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Support Original The edit does have some noise in the sky, but I think the original is a very good pic. Clegs (talk) 17:48, 4 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Support edit Noise in the sky doesn't bother me, but the drabness of the original does. The excellent composition needs color and life. After all, it's an action shot. I like the contrast in the edit, particularly the textures in the crashing waves at far right. The principal subject is also far easier to distinguish in the edit.

- I don't know if you've been to the North Sea coast of Germany - the original reflects the weather and light conditions very faithfully. Skies are often drab, and the mist from the strong tide washes out the colours even more. Just my two cents. Samsara (talk • contribs) 12:22, 5 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  - Ja, die Nordsee hab' ich besucht. Meiner Meinung nach, zweite ist schöner. Durova^Charge! 12:41, 5 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
