  • Support as nominator — Tomer T 12:19, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Weak oppose Sorry. =( Great pic overall, but there a few significant technical problems. The pic looks blurry and a bit hazy. There are also some artifacts, especially outlining the runners. Will support if a better version is found. Jumping cheese Cont@ct 13:46, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Oppose Unexciting photo of a replicable event. Witty lama 16:14, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Oppose Poor quality (looks upsampled, tilt, composition). As Witty lama said, the event is replicable. Other pictures could easily surpass this one. Thegreenj 16:29, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Oppose Not very interesting, And the outline around the runners... 8thstar 16:36, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Oppose Not striking enough - Adrian Pingstone 18:13, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Oppose You might want to give Wikipedia:Picture peer review a shot. Your last nominations have been a far cry from featured quality. ~ trialsanderrors 23:31, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
    • Ouch...sounds a bit harsh. Jumping cheese Cont@ct 03:51, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
      • No. I think people should have a good idea which pictures could make FP before they nominate them here, and I don't think Tomer has. That's what peer review is for, to get a better idea which pictures might pass. ~ trialsanderrors 04:06, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Oppose: Uninteresting, easily replicable, many artifacts, and blurry. I would give Picture Peer Review a try.  ~Steptrip 15:55, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Oppose: I don't really think this is 'Wikipedia's best' - Ishaana 16:04, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
