•  Info created by Granada - uploaded by Granada - nominated by Granada -- Granada (talk) 13:37, 29 August 2022 (UTC)
•  Support Usually shots of blocking action in beach volleyball are quite boring. This has undergone a lot of work in Lightroom (but nothing else) and I like the result. -- Granada (talk) 13:37, 29 August 2022 (UTC)
•  Oppose Too chaotic for me. Defending player cannot be seen clearly. -- Karelj (talk) 14:53, 29 August 2022 (UTC)

 Question Karelj, I'm curious to hear how you'd have solved this had you been the photographer. --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 15:07, 29 August 2022 (UTC)

It is claer and easy. I wouldn't nominate image for FP... -- Karelj (talk) 15:11, 29 August 2022 (UTC)

Given that the game of volleyball involves a net, it might not be as clear and easy for this type of shot. --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 19:29, 29 August 2022 (UTC)

•  Support Exciting and a good composition to me. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 15:41, 29 August 2022 (UTC)
•  Support --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 19:29, 29 August 2022 (UTC)
•  Oppose Too chaotic composition for me as well. The defending player is covered by a net and the background with spectators creates even more chaos. There are ways to capture a block with a better composition. For example, when the defending player jumps over the net. Also by photographing from a higher perspective (rostrum/tower/drone), see here main photo and videos thumbnails. The net certainly creates extra difficulties, but I think it is not an excuse when we are discussing about a FP-class picture. -- Pofka (talk) 20:31, 29 August 2022 (UTC)
•  Oppose Doesn't work for me. Too much net. Charlesjsharp (talk) 20:59, 29 August 2022 (UTC)

•  Support Good dynamic composition, the posture of the players appears like a kind of inverted mirror image of each other. -- Radomianin (talk) 19:42, 30 August 2022 (UTC)
•  Support This photo shows a blocking action at the net, therefore it is natural and necessary that the net is a central part of the photo. --Aristeas (talk) 07:16, 31 August 2022 (UTC)

•  Support Per Aristeas. I mean, this happens a few dozen times at least in every volleyball match at this level. The subject is clearly the ball; for me the net is, well, net zero as far as that goes. Daniel Case (talk) 18:26, 1 September 2022 (UTC)
