Comment The bit of wire fencing at the bottom is distracting. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 05:53, 11 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I deliberately left the lane boundary in the picture, but of course I can easily cut it away. Other opinions? --Stepro (talk) 16:52, 11 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comment You get no sense of movement with 1/5000 sec and no panning. Charlesjsharp (talk) 10:04, 11 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I do panning shots (like this one) and frozen stills. This is a second one. In my opinion, both have their justification and their charm. --Stepro (talk) 16:52, 11 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Without any verbal explanation, I got no idea what’s supposed to be happening here. --Kreuz schnabel 16:39, 11 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The bob tipped over while driving and is now sliding down the track at high speed while lying on its side. You can see the underside of the bob with the four skids. --Stepro (talk) 16:52, 11 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Ow. No wonder bobsledding is one of the most dangerous sports... Buidhe (talk) 17:41, 11 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Perhaps, per Charles, a victim of its own success. A static shot of a flipped-over bobsled really doesn't have much more to offer than one of a stable bobsled in this situation. Perhaps if it had been a really spectacular fail and the sled had caught some air and thrown a rider or two ... but that so rarely happens. Daniel Case (talk) 03:56, 15 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
