Support Nice action shot with good EV. A little noise reduction could help though. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 18:59, 15 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Weak oppose parts of the subject's body are out of focus, and the deliberately blurred background gives me a headache. Also, this seems to have some noise problems if you look at the subject's uniform. Pine^✉ 08:42, 16 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Look at the metadata: 1/500 sec, f/2.8 ISO1,000, 400mm focal length. Explains the why of your concerns. --Wingtipvorte^X PTT ∅ 22:31, 17 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Good EV and DOF. Way too noisy. Per the metadata, if at f/2.8 you need ISO1,000 and 1/500, the lighting was not good to take the shot. --Wingtipvorte^X PTT ∅ 22:31, 17 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
