It's a good close-up, and I thought it had a good motion blur, but I'm not an expert when it comes to quality.

  • I think it's an excellent shot; the image is somewhat grainy, but this is expected with the subject in such dynamic motion. Composition, facial expression etc. are superior. I encourage you to put it in the FPC queue. Jeff Dahl (Talk • contribs) 03:36, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
  • I too like the image. I haven't looked at it 'fullsize', so will take Jeff's word on the grain issue. I don't think you can necessarily say it's expected. Looking at the Metadata there's unfortunately no information on the ISO setting, as it's likely that may have been bumped up a bit high (especially as this was a relatively early digital camera, so would have likely been noisier than modern ones). It may be worth running a noise reduction on it before nominating at FPC. Given it's a non-notable individual and a potentially repeatable shot, you will want quality as high as possible before putting it up there. --jjron (talk) 08:55, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
