Support The subject is interesting, the whole image is dinamic and the main figure is acceptable for an action picture.

-- ~~Javier ME 20:38, 29 September 2007 (UTC)~~ Edit 2 is more dinamic. --Javier ME 21:37, 5 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Unsharp, uncomposed. --Beyond silence 21:54, 29 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
~~Support~~ It is a little noisy and a little blurry. You might try this GIMP script (or to follow the suggestions made in the comments); I reduced the size by 25% and the noise disappeared. Actually, just follow some of the instructions and don't use the script. The colors are already magazinesque! -- carol 08:29, 30 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Support - The feeling of motion, the effort in the expression of the athlete and the colours compensate for the technical flaws. But I think the picture would improve a lot with a crop at left - Alvesgaspar 22:45, 30 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Cropping the standing man off or keeping him? --Javier ME 22:01, 1 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure. It would be nice to get rid of that figure too but maybe the crop would be too extreme - Alvesgaspar 07:26, 2 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Support Agree with Alvesgaspar - crop at left would improve composition --Leafnode 06:51, 2 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Cropping just one side, made it look too high, too square. I´ve cropped also the upper and lower sides. Does it look better like this? --Javier ME 20:26, 3 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Comment -- the lights in the upper part of the image do not add much except for squarenes to the image. It would be better without them. -- carol 21:14, 3 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I withdraw nomination of Edit 1. --Javier ME 21:37, 5 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Support -- The bright light and the smeary empty space and additional stack of stadium lights did not add to the feeling of motion and this crop features the athelete (aka 'I got bored waiting for someone else to do this' uploading). -- carol 23:04, 4 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Support --Javier ME 21:37, 5 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Unsharp too --Beyond silence 22:24, 5 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
