•  Support Nice light and composition. Might be sharper, but that's the best picture of street football we have. -- Yann (talk) 04:31, 1 August 2019 (UTC)
•  Support but please correct cw tilt and maybe also think of a better file name after closing of nom --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 05:59, 1 August 2019 (UTC)

• OK, rotated. I will rename the file. Regards, Yann (talk) 09:21, 1 August 2019 (UTC)

•  Support --Claus 07:13, 1 August 2019 (UTC)
•  Comment shame that 1/320 sec. doesn't freeze the motion. Charles (talk)

• These boys are running fast. ;o) Yann (talk) 05:00, 2 August 2019 (UTC)

•  Comment See suggested crop. Daniel Case (talk) 02:53, 2 August 2019 (UTC)

• That would be a different picture. Actually I like that the ball is at the focus point (third). That's where is the action. Regards, Yann (talk) 05:00, 2 August 2019 (UTC)

@Yann: But with the crop it's just the five guys and the ball—none of that distracting stuff at right or the wasted space on the bottom. Daniel Case (talk) 22:08, 2 August 2019 (UTC)

Hi, What you call "distracting stuff", I call them "spectators" as they are watching the boys, and what you call "wasted space", I call it "necessary head room". You don't need to ping me. I follow my nominations. Regards, Yann (talk) 14:18, 3 August 2019 (UTC)

•  Support --Boothsift 04:51, 2 August 2019 (UTC)
•  Weak support – I just do like it. The scene itself as well as the lighting are great, compensating for small size and visible resharpening. I’d prefer the suggested crop too (a bit wider on the right to get more of the guy’s cast shadow) but that would make it even smaller --Kreuzschnabel 06:07, 2 August 2019 (UTC)
•  Support --Basotxerri (talk) 14:39, 2 August 2019 (UTC)
•  Support -- Johann Jaritz (talk) 06:52, 3 August 2019 (UTC)
•  Support great photo, but the people suggesting cropping out the two boys watching are obviously not capable of getting the idea of the image (spectators as "distracting stuff" in football, really?). A pity. If you want to crop, then only the bottom.--Chianti (talk) 14:28, 3 August 2019 (UTC)
•  Support.--Vulphere 14:57, 3 August 2019 (UTC)
•  Neutral The sharpening halos are quite obvious, that should be fixed, otherwise different and interesting --Poco² 14:36, 4 August 2019 (UTC)
•  Support Tomer T (talk) 17:06, 4 August 2019 (UTC)
•  Support though I would recommend a 16:9 crop to remove some of the bottom. The blur is fine. -- Colin (talk) 19:45, 6 August 2019 (UTC)
