Support as nominator. This was a technically challenging shot, taken from below into sunlight, apparently with a colour filter to reduce glare overwhelming the composition. The composition chosen emphasises that Sketch is swimming with no legs, both making this an immediate and slightly discomforting feature of the shot, while providing interesting contrasts of seeing the sky and clouds from underneath the disrupted and coloured water surface. In the people category for FPs, I do not believe there have been any disabled sportsmen or women featured yet, so if this does not pass, it may be worth reviewing the Paralympics and Wounded Warrior categories for other candidates. -- Fæ (talk) 19:05, 10 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Support -- Hard to judge the technical, but it is a very striking and emotive image. Saffron Blaze (talk) 21:17, 10 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
