Support Joachim Gerard of Belgium during the semi-final of the Swiss Open Geneva against en:Stéphane Houdet. -- Pleclown (talk) 16:56, 14 October 2014 (UTC)- Support ArionEstar (talk) 17:18, 14 October 2014 (UTC)
Oppose Lacks dynamic for a sports FP IMHO. Just a quarter of a second later, when he stretches his arm to get the ball … --Kreuzschnabel 18:15, 14 October 2014 (UTC)
- He did not stretch his arm, the ball is obviously too far away for him to get it. His position and his face are saying exactly that. Pleclown (talk) 20:50, 14 October 2014 (UTC)
- At least this wasn’t obvious for me, which I’m afraid is a flaw on an FPC as well. I think the problem ist that the ball does not show any motion so it’s unclear in which direction its moving. Anyway, too static for a dynamic scene IMHO. --Kreuzschnabel 03:33, 15 October 2014 (UTC)
- Sorry, I didn't mean to be harsh. I understand your point, but I like this picture (for the look of frustration). "Fixing" the ball is quite common in sport photo, to stop the action. Here it is not "stopped" as one can see it's a little blurry, and the fur of the ball is giving away its spinning way. But maybe it's because I've taken the picture that I see it, I don't know.

- Support Very good picture, the chair is well aligned frontally showing all the details of its structure and fixing of the athlete. Apparently he is pivoting on(his) the right wheel (or stopped after). The conduction to the (en passant)ball by the look of frustration is perfect for picture composition (IMO). -- Lauro Sirgadocontribs 00:02, 15 October 2014 (UTC)
- Oppose Composition looks a bit too static. --King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 03:14, 15 October 2014 (UTC)
- Oppose per others, this one is much more dynamic. -- Christian Ferrer Talk / Images 17:00, 15 October 2014 (UTC)
- Oppose per above, sadly. The alt shown by Christian Ferrer is IMO much better. Nikhil (talk) 16:00, 16 October 2014 (UTC)
