 * Oppose busy foreground - should be croped. --PetarM (talk) 09:38, 3 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Support Nice EV and great shot. You could crop some of the foreground scrub out but I would support as is also. |→ Spaully τ 11:15, 5 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Oppose Unfortunately the foreground spoils this shot. An unobstructed view would be much superior. Nick-D (talk) 21:47, 6 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Oppose due to awkward framing with the obstructed foreground, as well as the slight motion blur - not enough to convey a sense of intensity, but just enough to be annoying. With the camera used, it would have been trivial to bump the ISO up one or two stops to completely freeze the action. –  Juliancolton  &#124; Talk 04:17, 7 January 2017 (UTC)
