 * Weak oppose - Shallow DoF (pehaps due camera aperture): the foreground of the image is blurry. But good resolution. - ☩  Damërung   ☩   .  -- 16:50, 18 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Weak oppose - A good photo besides the DOF issue, just not a photo of anything, if you understand.--Garretttaggs (talk) 04:59, 19 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose A real shame that the focus wasn't on the foreground figure; this would have been a winner, as it is the eye is drawn to the shifty-looking guy up the back and all the dramatic tension evaporates. Looks amateurish as a result & not FP material. --mikaultalk 12:36, 19 July 2009 (UTC)
