• Weak  Support. Great scene, wish it were sharper. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 23:42, 31 December 2017 (UTC)
•  Support. PumpkinSky talk 00:38, 1 January 2018 (UTC)
•  Support - The man is sharp enough, the boy less so, but they're in motion. The rest is background. Very well-shot scene, IMO. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 02:52, 1 January 2018 (UTC)
•  Support Per Ikan. -- Johann Jaritz (talk) 03:03, 1 January 2018 (UTC)
•  Oppose Sorry not quite working for me, especially with the silver pole and cropped silver car. The man is looking round at someone/something which we can't see and this leads the eye over to the right of the photo, which is lacking interest such as more people. Also the boy and man are in shade, which I'm sure you've tried to brighten but there is no getting away from the problem with the sun in the wrong direction. -- Colin (talk) 14:53, 1 January 2018 (UTC)

The man is watching the road before crossing it and IMHO I do not think they are in the shade, they just have a dark skin tone. --The Photographer 18:06, 1 January 2018 (UTC)

Based on the shadows of the bicycle wheels, and the brightness of the sky, the sun looks to be in the top right of the picture, so most of their faces and bodies are in shadow. -- Colin (talk) 19:53, 1 January 2018 (UTC)

@Colin: I can see, you are right and I tried mitigate this problem raising the shadows. Maybe less DoF should work better too. --The Photographer 18:51, 3 January 2018 (UTC)

•  Neutral For me ride the man left more or less out of the picture.--Famberhorst (talk) 16:48, 1 January 2018 (UTC)
•  Oppose Sorry, why has this to be shot at ISO 1600 which produces noise that was reduced in post leading to less sharpness in the details? Next the car to the left is very much disturbing the view, the man on his bike has no lead room to the left (his front view) and finally the sun stood in the "wrong" direction as pointed out by Colin. And it somewhat looks like it's been downscaled. --Granada (talk) 17:57, 1 January 2018 (UTC)

It was taken from a car, answering your question about the ISO. --The Photographer 18:01, 1 January 2018 (UTC)

•  Oppose Quality high enough for a Q1 but nor for a FP. IMO not sharp enough and too much shadow in the face of the cyclist --Michielverbeek (talk) 19:03, 1 January 2018 (UTC)
•  Oppose Image is striking and as a journalistic image would be fine, but in short, the background creates issues-- the image was taken a split second too late; had the bicyclist been about 10 feet back, in the intersection, the framing would be FP worthy. As it sits, given that technical details matter here, I have to, reluctantly, say no. Montanabw (talk) 22:26, 2 January 2018 (UTC)
•  Oppose The cropped car, the shallow DOF, the noise and the weirdly incomplete shadow of the bicycle and its riders. Daniel Case (talk) 05:38, 3 January 2018 (UTC)
•  I withdraw my nomination Thanks for the comments well supported --The Photographer 18:51, 3 January 2018 (UTC)
