Support as nominator --Papa Lima Whiskey (talk) 15:10, 22 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose I don’t find the light & shadow to be all that impressive. The cropping—or lack thereof—seems intended to illustrate that it is a ‘sporty’, Olympic venue, but it seems unimpressive and busy. The 1200-pixel horizontal resolution—while just above the bare FPC minimums‚ wouldn’t allow any more cropping. While I find this to be a perfectly fine photograph of an athlete, and our volunteer photographers should be thanked for capturing these images so we finally have a photograph of notable individuals that don’t look like they are vid-grabs off of a Department Of Transportation surveillance camera, I’m not seeing that this is amongst our best works and deserving to be shown to the world because of its outstanding photographic quality.

Oppose Completely agree with Greg here. -- Jack?! 18:00, 22 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- I found that this image can't be improved by cropping, but feel free to suggest a crop that works. If the background is a problem, I can fix that. I still find the image compares favourably to other sportsperson FPs, and that's why I nominated it. Papa Lima Whiskey (talk) 19:57, 22 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Far higher quality than the usual biography illustration, but it's not quite up to FP standard, for me. The background, size and lighting are all a little sub-par, FP-wise. J Milburn (talk) 20:51, 22 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- The cropped image is a good bit below our minimum size (and the crop lacks licensing information- it woul be good if it could be added). J Milburn (talk) 00:16, 23 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose both She is important, but this photograph just isn't FP. Imagine if you could rotate 20 degrees to the left. Then we might be talking FP. Gut Monk (talk) 23:35, 22 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose both Original is too wide with too many distracting elements, the crop is akward and uneven. Overall I think this image as it stands would be unfeatureable hopefully someone will eventually reshoot her and upload. Cat-five - talk 04:21, 23 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. Gut Monk, you are Jarle Vines (Commons:User:Jarvin)? If not, you have just stolen his work and claimed it as your own on the edit. Please fix. --jjron (talk) 08:35, 23 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Can we come up with a Bot like this? Gut Monk (talk) 02:44, 24 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  - Two people have now complained about this, but you haven't dealt with it. If a new image patroller had come across this, it would be well on its way to a deletion by now, and you would have messages all over your talk page. To be frank, the fact that some bot hasn't got it yet just says to me that the bots are down. J Milburn (talk) 13:48, 24 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    - I've done it myself... J Milburn (talk) 16:43, 24 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
