 * Oppose the composition is clean and nice but unfortunately the picture does not meet minimum size requirements for FP and furthermore has blown highlights. dllu (t,c) 18:38, 4 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Oppose original, support alt I think more than one yacht should be in the photo of an FP for the article yacht racing. I've added an alt that looks more suitable. Due to the very bright sunlight that's common in this setting I think some technical issues with blown highlights are to be expected. The alt is about 1320 pixels on the short side but almost 1900 pixels on the long side, which I think is adequate. --Pine✉ 23:41, 5 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Oppose original, Support alt Orig doesn't demonstrate yacht racing - could just be a single yacht out on it's own going for a nice sail... Alt demonstrates this better... gaz hiley  10:33, 8 April 2013 (UTC)
 * comment:I agree with the above comments, ALT is a far better rep dont know why I did not submit that in the first place. In the upper right hand corner you can see the Race Commity boat, as well as the flags it is displaying to communicate with the yachts crews prior to the start. The chase boats as well also can be seen in the top of the photo. This is yacht racing. Also seen in this photo is the yacht that won the race overall, owned by a member of the Disney family .--WPPilot 04:50, 9 April 2013 (UTC)

 * Support alt Don't like the creeping window in the top right, but I didn't even notice it for a long while. Sharp image, great angle. – Kerαu noςco pia ◁ gala xies 09:03, 13 April 2013 (UTC)
