Support, but it does seem a bit soft. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 05:32, 3 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Would a crop have more EV? Nergaal (talk) 16:36, 3 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- Nergaal-I thought about it, but wanted to include some of the background (how often do you get to use part of an iceberg washed up on the shore as background?). The article does use a css image crop to make it a bit tighter.--Godot13 (talk) 17:25, 3 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Borderline Support per Chris Woodrich. Given the file size I was expecting crisper. It's crisp enough to show the water droplets though, hence support. No opinion on the crop... gazhiley 08:54, 5 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Support Don't like the crop, and I agree that it is a tiny bit soft, but overall it is a good image. Cat-five t c ---- 09:03, 6 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Support - pretty "cool" shot. Atsme^📞📧 19:45, 6 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Not sharp enough - possibly because hand held 1/200sec at 300mm not a good combination. The composition doesn't work very well for me. Charlesjsharp (talk) 10:45, 8 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
