•  Info This is a panning shot of greyhound racing dog. Such a panning shot is much more difficult than a car panning shot as those dogs don't move as constant as a car. Those dogs don't just move horizontal (like a car) but also have very quick vertical movements - which is pretty annoying for a photographer :-) (Here you can have a look how such a race looks like.)

•  Support Difficult circumstances mitigate noise and unsharpness. Donarreiskoffer (talk) 09:59, 7 January 2011 (UTC)
•  Neutral It's a nice picture, but it doesn't surprise me a lot. Thank you, --патриот8790^{Say whatever you want} 15:07, 7 January 2011 (UTC)
•  Support High encyclopedic value, very acceptable quality given the circumstances. --MAURILBERT (discuter) 15:46, 7 January 2011 (UTC)
•  Neutral The dog is IMO well captured, but the fence behind him is blurry.--Snaevar (talk) 17:44, 7 January 2011 (UTC)

The fence is meant to be blurry as it is a panning shot. This means only the moving object is sharp while the background has motion blur. --AngMoKio (座谈) 19:15, 7 January 2011 (UTC)

• I am aware of the effect panning does to pictures. However, since this is a personal choise of mine, nowhere to be seen in the guidelines I kept the vote in neutral, but also as nothing really convinces me to support this image.--Snaevar (talk) 12:34, 8 January 2011 (UTC)

•  Request Exif-Data would be nice... Could you add them please? And the dog needs a identification. --kaʁstn Disk/Cat 15:46, 9 January 2011 (UTC)

  I added the EXIF-Info. Concerning identification: It is a Greyhound dog, the info which exact type of Greyhound it is, is on the way. --AngMoKio (座谈) 10:02, 10 January 2011 (UTC)
