Support -- Granada (talk) 14:33, 28 January 2018 (UTC)- Support A fine shot all around.--Peulle (talk) 17:01, 28 January 2018 (UTC)
Oppose Similar small DoF choice as the one below and this one doesn't appeal to me either. Charles (talk) 17:16, 28 January 2018 (UTC)- Support I sort of get the DoF objection to the other one, but in this one the primary subject is front and center such that the composition is clearly about that person's performance rather than the background/setting. — Rhododendrites talk | 20:51, 28 January 2018 (UTC)
- Support --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 21:02, 28 January 2018 (UTC)
- Oppose The background is too distracting; even with the low DOF the subject isn't sufficiently isolated because of how colorful the background is. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 21:11, 28 January 2018 (UTC)
- Oppose per King. Daniel Case (talk) 22:58, 28 January 2018 (UTC)
- I've made a tighter crop, is that better? File:20180128_FIS_CC_WC_15km_mass_start_Dario_Cologna_850_2344_01.jpg --Granada (talk) 07:56, 29 January 2018 (UTC)
Question Ikan, are you supporting the photo in the nom or the cropped version, which is a different file? --cart-Talk 10:17, 29 January 2018 (UTC)
- Yes, only in that version, so I should cross out my vote. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 10:29, 29 January 2018 (UTC)
- Oppose Background too distracting, hard to make out the skier. You could offer the cropped version as an "Alt" here on the nom. --cart-Talk 10:17, 29 January 2018 (UTC)
- So could someone exchange the picture or remove this nomination so that I can nominate the other version? --Granada (talk) 12:13, 29 January 2018 (UTC)
- The best way is just to add that crop to this nomination. I have done that for you. All the previous voters should also be 'pinged' to be made aware of this. Like this: Peulle Charlesjsharp King of Hearts Daniel Case Ikan Kekek Rhododendrites Martin Falbisoner. --cart-Talk 13:16, 29 January 2018 (UTC)
I withdraw my nomination

Alt version
[edit]
- Support This cropped version. --cart-Talk 13:17, 29 January 2018 (UTC)
- Support — Rhododendrites talk | 14:45, 29 January 2018 (UTC)
- Oppose not FP for me either. Charles (talk) 15:59, 29 January 2018 (UTC)
Comment DoF is not a question of choice in sports photography. This is shot at 200mm and even if I had closed the aperture to 22 the DoF of the image would not be more than 3m, leaving the second skier unsharp. Imagine I would have closed the aperture that far I would have had to raise the ISO to 12800 or higher cause in sports photography you can't just adjust your shutter speed, you need to stick with 1/1000th (or faster) of a second. There's a reason why sports photographers use lenses with f/2.8 throughout and only at f/2.8. Next time in that very same position I'll grab me a 400mm f/2.8 for still less DoF. Because we all know the truth: the second is the first loser and you can't depict this better as by blurring the rest of the bunch. --Granada (talk) 13:14, 31 January 2018 (UTC)
- Support -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 18:39, 29 January 2018 (UTC)
- Oppose Better, but still not featurable. Daniel Case (talk) 18:58, 29 January 2018 (UTC)
- Support also fine with me --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 06:40, 30 January 2018 (UTC)
- Support - Ryan Hodnett (talk) 04:26, 31 January 2018 (UTC)
- Oppose per Daniel HalfGig talk 02:26, 1 February 2018 (UTC)
