•  Comment Charles, I don't know if anyone else agrees but IMO you were too hasty to withdraw this. Daniel and Ivar's criticisms are of course correct but for me they are mitigated by the strong encyclopaedic value of the shots (especially with the interesting captions you have added) and the impressiveness of capturing this on camera. A picture with so-so technical quality of a difficult event to capture is better than a picture of good quality of an easy, everyday subject. I would support this if you ever decide to give it another go. Cmao20 (talk) 17:44, 6 January 2020 (UTC)
•  Done thanks Cmao20. Charles (talk) 17:49, 6 January 2020 (UTC)
•  Support per above. Cmao20 (talk) 17:50, 6 January 2020 (UTC)
•  Support per Cmao20. I think this is good enough, considering how interesting and how difficult a subject this is, and also the size of the photos. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 04:27, 7 January 2020 (UTC)
