 * I'm sure it is actiony and all that and bravo to the photographer for not getting any motion blur (obviously remembered to turn the knob to the "man running" picture), but I don't like the aesthetics of it; he looks a bit contorted like his hips are dislocated and he only has one arm (with which he is trying to tie his shoelace).

 * LOL. I'm guessing it comes from... aiming the kick? I don't play soccer/football. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 16:00, 17 June 2015 (UTC)
 * I agree. To me it seems a most unfortunate instant, composition-wise, at which to capture this action. 109.153.244.75 (talk) 02:42, 21 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Support As a football fan, this is exactly how it should look :) --Muhammad (talk) 07:04, 18 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Support Excellent shot of excellent technique - right foot is perfectly positioned, eyes on the ball, and the back lift shows that this is going to be a rocket of a shot if he connects correctly.... As regards the EV of this player, well it's clearly him, doing what he does, and looking like he's doing it well... Ticks the boxes for me... gaz hiley  10:11, 18 June 2015 (UTC)
