  •  Oppose I'm a fan of the Brazil team, but unfortunately I have to oppose. 1. Composition is not good. There is too much space on the right, and too little on the left. The players are generally facing slightly left of the photographer, so the composition is imbalanced. 2. (minor reason) Only about half of the players are maintaining eye contact with the camera. Inevitable anyway since there should be many photogs on the ground. --Graphium 11:24, 16 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Sorry but I beg to differ from your opinion. The slight imbalanced composition is absolutely normal, during a world cup match you'll get so many photographer in the area to take that kind of picture that it is impossible to be exactly centered. For the same reason the players will be looking at different photographer. --PierreSelim (talk) 15:39, 16 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • I understand that. I agree with Saffron's comment below. If we want something better than this, one of us will just need to source for a better image, and convince the photographer to release more rights if the photo is not free. This photo is just not outstanding enough. Sorry. --Graphium 01:53, 17 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose PierreSelim is right, but I see other problems. I think this is a very useful picture, but not FP. Why the strong vignetting? I also find the shadows a bit dark, specially on the bending players. imo, a tighter crop would have been better as well (zooming in directly, not croping), so you get some more blur on the background (the huge t-shirt is quite disturbing, though you can't forbid that ;) ) The moment is somehow special, but the picture isn't special enough for FP imo, not "one of the finest" on Commons. If there are nice pictures from the game, they will probably be more impressive than this one. --Kadellar (talk) 22:09, 16 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose Just because it is newsworthy doesn't mean it is a well executed image. Saffron Blaze (talk) 22:37, 16 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Oppose per Graphium, Kadellar and Saffron Blaze.--Signed by User:$oliton (talk) 17:40, 17 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
