Oppose. The angle doesn't really work that well for me. I think a ground level view would be better. Diliff (talk) 14:01, 21 August 2015 (UTC)
- The problem with a ground view level is the background. It's very difficult to have a clear background (without any other obstacle or without the public) at ground level (see other pictures in the cat) in a non staged jumping picture (This is taken during a round of the en:Global Champions Tour, the top of the top in show jumping.).

- I understand what you're saying, and I appreciate that when voting, I don't know what logistical reasons you have for not getting a nice shot at ground level, but conceivably with a nice wide aperture lens, you could get a shot that is aesthetically pleasing with a nice blurred background. These images were probably taken (Ha! Just kidding about this one) by professional photographers with better access than general members of the public, but I think that's the sort of shot I'd be looking for. Something with a bit of flair. I certainly appreciate it's tricky to get a shot like that though. Diliff (talk) 16:42, 21 August 2015 (UTC)
- FYI, we were accredited on this event (The picture is taken from the TV tower, I was right next the cameraman). There is no ground access to photographers at this level, or a very limited one (Do not get in the frame of the TV cameras, do not stay in the way of the horses and do not do any noise with your camera). All the pictures you've selected (expect the two last ones) were staged pictures (except maybe the one with the red girl, probably taken with a remote operated camera), not taken during an event (the second to last is actually cross, a different type of discipline).

- Oppose per Diliff and this cut off obstacle is unattractive. --Laitche (talk) 14:36, 21 August 2015 (UTC)
- Oppose Good work in capturing the horse in a nice pose, but like Laitche I'm bothered by the crop. Daniel Case (talk) 15:32, 21 August 2015 (UTC)

Comment I can only say: Sad! I don't understand the negative votes. -- Lothar Spurzem (talk) 17:40, 21 August 2015 (UTC)
