Motorcycle policeman

 * Reason:High quality image of a police motorcycle in action; while it's the Victoria (Australia) Police, these BMW motorbikes are widely used by police around the world. Pretty clearly shows all the special features of a police bike and rider (lights, sirens, antennas, things that go 'wooop') in a clean, unobstructed scene at the preferred angle for vehicles.

 * Support Yaay you're back :) Good EV and quality. Slight motion blur on face but IMO it's not a big deal. Nice to see he's not wearing jeans ;-) --Muhammad (talk) 13:58, 8 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Hah. What a memory! (Or did you just happen to check the old motorbike nom?). :) --jjron (talk) 11:58, 15 April 2011 (UTC)


 * Support per Muhammad.  Jujutacular  talk 14:28, 8 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Oppose Support Background is far too blurred. Adabow (talk · contribs) 10:30, 9 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Too blurred? I would say it is not blurred enough! -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 14:35, 9 April 2011 (UTC)
 * If you're referring to motion blur, I think this is desirable to show that the subject is moving.  Jujutacular  talk 18:26, 9 April 2011 (UTC)
 * You want a sharp background? Why? What good would that do? How about this- is the background too blurred there? Though I am undecided on this image, I can see that that is a really strange oppose; I hope that you will reconsider. J Milburn (talk) 18:39, 9 April 2011 (UTC)
 * This is my first activity in FPC, and you can probably realise that I'm not too knowledgable about imagery. :-) The foreground is sufficiently sharp, so I suppose I'll support it. Adabow (talk · contribs) 19:51, 9 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Well welcome to FPC! I suppose I've seen you around the wiki so much I assumed you've been here. You may find the FPC glossary helpful to get up to speed on the terms used here and qualities that we expect.  Jujutacular  talk 04:06, 10 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Support background separation is a good thing. JJ Harrison (talk) 23:20, 9 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Weak support. Nice shot. I agree with Alvesgaspar ("it is not blurred enough"); it only appears as a blur, and the panning is not obvious, hence the weak. -- King of &hearts;   &diams;   &clubs;  &spades; 07:59, 14 April 2011 (UTC)
